An Update Perhaps?

Well I figured I should update while I have few free moments. I finally have a chance to relax, after working 4 shifts on Friday and Saturday, then writing 2 papers today (for tommorow of course). And it's back to classes and work tommorow. So basically, this is the first real break I've had in a while.

Family Guy tonight was funny, I really enjoyed the A-Ha Spoof.

But the big news for me anyway is that my Dell crapped out again. I'm sure you're all shocked. It's past-warrnaty now, and I knew it was going to happen. It was the SAME EXACT PROBLEM that happened the first 3 times I sent it back. So I decided that I'm sick of Dell, and it's not worth it to get it repaired to work for a month. So instead I've ordered this bad boy:



The Apple Powerbook 15"


Specs:
15.2-inch TFT Display
1280x854 resolution
1.67GHz PowerPC G4
1GB DDR333 SDRAM
80GB Hard Drive
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (128 MB DDR) - Dual Processor
Backlit keyboard
Gigabit Ethernet
FireWire 400 & 800
Analog audio in/out
DVI & S-Video out
3-Year Applecare Warranty

It's an expensive computer (a bit more than $2,500 after my discounts), but first, I know it's going to last, and second, my parents are covering a portion of the cost because the University recently took back one of my loans (as in, I don't need it because they're giving me so much money, I'm making money off FinAid), thus saving my parents about $12,000 this summer between housing and classes. Plus, I'm working at RSO bringing in some good money every week.

Of course, this meant I had to deal without my laptop for my wonderful 8-hour shift and such. Instead, I went to B&N with Brittni the other day and picked up: Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage, which was superb.

I'm going to be getting another 5 or 6 books from their summer sale this week, which should keep me entertained while I'm not reading 300 pages for my classes. By the way, Summer classes blow. Keep that one on the record.

Other than that, SGA is still a mess. Yikes.

I saw Jenn ([info]_eightysix) by random encounter when she was in Boston the other day.

I had to solve the Israel/Palestine conflict in less than 1,000 words. And give the history of the conflict. Try it sometime.

Luckily, my 9:50 class for tommorow got cancelled (Score), unfortunatly it's never my 8 am that gets cancelled.

I have to switch out of Logic for the fall and into a history course, it's looking like East Asia Studies, which is the intro course to the Japan/China area. I'm finding this region more and more interesting, specifically China the more I learn about it.

Thats about it for now!

1,000 words on Israel-Palestine is like 1,000 words on the Bible or the Koran.

Hardly sufficient.
