 Got a new laptop for my future attendance to UCSC. Also, because my old laptop is three years old and is starting to leech its battery life (a new battery that's supposed to be 6 hours is now at around 1 hour at least. Sheesh! And it's super hot to hold, damn fan probably needs a change). It's a sleekbook touchscreen HP laptop with Windows 8 and all sorts of better capabilities compared to my HP Pavilion, but man Windows 8 is something new to adjust to. 

Mouse pad has this weird shortcut thing where it seems like if I move my finger a certain way it'd move to a different app/program like switching windows. It's pretty annoying. Guess I'll multitask by poking my touchscreen a bit more. Gonna have to get used to the idea of using tablet-like features on a laptop. 

Also getting used to the different keyboard format. Ah well. 

In other life news: 

• no summer job to keep myself busy.
• But there's running and swimming to keep me active, at least. 
• mailed the check for my summer orientation at UCSC. Thinking of the money spent for the orientation for SJSU makes a part of me hurt inside, since I'm all committed to UCSC. Maaan, though, I feel like I should go to SJSUs orientation anyway, as a just in case measure. Mmmmmnnnrgh.
• Most of my usual internet friends (on Skype) have now dedicated themselves to Trigun rp-ing on tumblr. 
• I, myself, have given to a Kain RP blog that is super fun and fulfills a different level of fan interaction with other FF rp-ers. 
• In which I've made Kain interact a lot with Gau and Bartz, alongside a Cecil, Rosa and Rydia rp-ers. The last three are also Italians, so that's a different time zone to adjust in.
• Oh yeah, and I stay up all night nowadays.

Is this the real life...?

 Damn you CollegeBoard.com and your contrived ways in not showing old AP test scores. 

Damn you Windows 8 for not remembering my wifi key so anytime the signal decides to waver I have to type in the password....which is a lot of numbers....

As well as mouse pad shortcuts strokes which makes me switch between all my apps without my intention......
