Stop. Lappy Time.
OK, time for a more upbeat entry than my last one!
The semester is over, and I'm finally done with exams, so right now I'm enjoying a well-deserved break. I got respectable grades in all my courses (except Religion >_>). Still, my GPA for the semester is 3.27, so I'm happy; just another goal to set myself! In other news I bought myself a new laptop:
Specs!
Dell XPS M1330
CPU: C2D T7500 (2.2 GHz 4 MiB cache)
GPU: 8400 GS (128 MiB of dedicated memory + 767 MiB shared)
Display: 13.3" 1280x800
RAM: 2 GiB
HDD: 250 GB
It's very nice; I've been having lots of fun using it everywhere I can (including a chiropractor appointment I took my sister to :p ) and pretty much just enjoying my new toy. It's not a gaming powerhouse, obviously, but HL2, TF2 and Portal play wonderfully on it, and I love the size of the thing (it has roughly the same footprint as the notebooks and textbooks I use for class. Could be a bit lighter, though).
Next on the gadget list is a new cell phone. My current one is three years old now, and I could really do with one with a better camera for when September rolls around (I borrowed my mom's digicam for the above pics). I've already got a specific model in mind and am just waiting for them to drop in price before I pick one up.
