Midterm Break


Over the past few days I have been on midterm break.  Unfortunately, while I thought that this would leave me a lot of free time to catch up on classwork, sleeping, and fun with the family – as always, breaks go by much, much faster than they should…  Thus, while I’ve gotten a little bit of reading done for class (about 10 pages for Senior Seminar), and a little bit of philosophical writing (1 page for Senior Seminar), a lot of hanging out with the family (Mario Kart, going to the movies, October fest, etc. - lots of fun!), and a quick meet-up with Corey (another one of the guys from Bruté who has some family in Quincy), the break has still gone by too fast.

On a totally different topic, I have replaced my computer with something quite a bit more powerful and much easier to carry around.  The timing was quite fortunate because my 4 year old laptop has started throwing out disconcerting error messages predicting an imminent failure of the hard-drive.  Of course, setting up the new computer (and playing with it) did eat up some time this weekend… 

I really did start a few good posts (and had ideas for another few) this weekend, but alas, no such luck.  Sorry folks, maybe I’ll get some thinking in during the 5 hour drive tomorrow!

    1. It is a refurbished Asus laptop (though it looks new to me), runs Windows 8, has a 13 inch, 1080p touchscreen, 6ish hours of battery life, 128 Gb solid state drive, core i5 (3rd gen) processor, with a black metal exterior, and I got it on sale for $600. I hope that answered your question?
