got it.

Well everyone, I finally got my laptop today. Or, well actually it was more like yesterday cause it’s one in the morning and I haven’t been able to sleep yet. So far, this computer is more than I imagined it would be. I like it more than I thought I would, too. I won’t get into too much technical detail, because I don’t want to bore you all, but allow me to explain why it’s more than I had imagined.

It’s gonna take some getting used to being able to multitask so well on this machine. On my old computer, there was like NO SUCH THING as multitasking. On this computer, I can run like three or four processes at a time, really. I can be listening o music with Windows Media Player, using the internet and watching streaming video all while I am copying files from a CD or DVD to my computer now. It’s too hot to handle!

The coolest thing that I think I’ve discovered yet it that it’s REALLY QUIET. For instance, I’m sitting here typing and using the battery. It’s completely silent. It’s weird FOR ME I guess cause I’ve always had that old laptop that always makes noise whenever and whatever you’re doing. Oh yeah, and speaking of battery. I just unplugged it to lay in bed and type and it says I have 5 hours 15 minutes left of battery. If you don’t know anything about batteries, most laptops will last you 2 and one half hours. But I have the miracle machine.

It’s lookin like work’s gonna undergo some big changes. Summer’s coming and Rick says everything gets a whole lot harder during summer, so I’m gonna be working HARD in the next few weeks. However, he DID say that I’d prolly get less hours and more days off because his staff is over packed and until they let some people go, or someone else quits, ii’m gonna lose time. It’s doesn’t bother me too much, though. At least I have this thing ordered and in my hands already.

The nest three things I’m going for (as in “buying this summer”) will be 1.) a digital camcorder 2.) a digital camera with wide-angle/telephoto/macro lenses, and 3.) a car, of course. My dad’s looking at getting me one of those moped/mini-bike things. He wants to sell his motorcycle to get me one so I can get a license and transport myself to work. It sounds pretty cool. I’m still getting a car, but heck this’ll save a lot on gas and it’ll prolly be a heck of a lot of fun.

Well, now my eyes are finally starting to get tired. I’ll see you all around. Love you all.
