Out with the Old, In with the New

So far, this blogosphere of mine has served a very surface level purpose. That will change in the weeks and months to follow, but for now I am going to put aside the deeper issues and circumstances of this past week and simply focus on today.

My old laptop (*cough PC) is on the fritz. It has been very temperamental lately, and I worry that it will completely die as I'm in the midst of writing both my Pstrat and Greek papers in the coming month. Not only this, but it always seems to be on the verge of exploding. The fan enjoys running constantly, and I often get looks of confusion and annoyance as the noise level of the fan increases, usually most conveniently while I'm in the library amongst the quiet, studious people. As a result, my parents have amazingly replaced my old laptop with a new laptop (MAC!) as a graduation present. This way, they will no longer have to worry about their daughter blowing up during her laptop explosion. Just kidding...this is not a serious concern, but really...

My parents are incredibly generous and I am now the proud member of the Mac club. The only annoyance will be in converting my files from my PC to my Mac, but I think that is a small sacrifice for this large upgrade. So it is out with the old and in with the new for me! Goodbye PC, I don't think you will be missed. Heellloo Mac, welcome to the family.

The first photo...my mom enjoyed entertaining herself with PhotoBooth, but let's be honest... She's not the only one.

Newbie

I have now successfully created a blog! You could say that I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to this type of thing, but for some reason I thought it would be great to have a place where I can post my thoughts, ponderings, and opinions. I like the thought of having a place where I can process things and if friends and family want to read it, then so much the better!

I have a feeling I won't keep up well with this blog, at least at first, but I want to allow this to be my creative nook, if you will. I will attempt to experiment and stretch myself creatively. I'm a newbie, but I will learn. There is not much else to add to my very first blog, especially since I am beginning this after amidst my sleep deprivation from paper writing last night.

Until Later...
