I want money, that's what I want.

So, when I got 40 bajillion cards filled with money after I graduated, I was so excited to spend it all on dorm stuff. And then my mom told me excitedly, "Now you can buy a computer!" To which I was quite disappointed, because how am I supposed to buy dorm stuff, now? But then she told me that I could use my savings bonds, instead. So I was happy again. I asked her how much she thought they might be worth, and she easily said, "'Bout $1,500." So of course I was excited I'd have $300 left over after purchasing my notebook. Um, no. We checked all of my savings bonds yesterday, and they only total $1,121. I have a freaking $100 bond from 1993 that is only worth $80! We figured out that I'd have to wait until 2023 for all of them to be face value. Seriously? When I am 35 years old?! OK, I hate to sound like a bleeding heart liberal, but its times like these that I wish Bush was never elected.

P.S. For those of you who are thinking, "Don't you wish that all the time?" Quick answer: No.
