Peace of mind. All for the low, low price of 39.95

I figured that I wouldn't need the cell phone, I didn't want the trouble, or spend the money. Then I tried to spend two days without one. I forget how even if I can live without a cell phone for a few weeks, almost everyone else I know can't, not to mention how much easier they make life in generl, especially when I'm here in Italy. A number of conversations that I have had the last week have gone omething like this:

Person: "Hey Kristin, you want to get together and do something?"

Me: "Sure, when do you want to meet?"

Person: "Well, why don't I just give you a call on your cell after class."

Me: "I don't have a phone."

Person: "Oh."

Generally we worked something out, but it is so much easier to coordinate plans when you can contact someone at a moment's notice, and when you want to talk to someone back home, or when someone back home needs to talk to you immediately. Then you can finally stop mooching by constantly borrowing your roommate's phone.

So I gave in, I have one and now I don't have to give an akward instruction for a person to call my roommates cell, instead of calling me.
