My Latest Splurge

So I did a bad thing this week. I splurged big time. I purchased my latest technological obsession, the Apple iPad.

This little gadget is quite incredible. It is a tablet with the capability to write papers, act as a book reader, screen HD movies, and just be plain amazing.

I had to get on a waiting list for this little device, as it was so popular after its recent release. Currently, my mom is on her way to get it at the Apple Store at Derby Street. I can't wait to get my hands on this thing... updates to come!!

UPDATE: This thing is amazing! It is really easy to read on, and downloading a book is really simple! The entire setup was a breeze, although I am still playing with the settings a bit. Now I have to put it aside and do homework.... this is going to be a great distraction!

O'Hara 220

I have been cleaning my room a bit today and I thought I would put up a few snapshots of the tiny room that I have called home since last August...

This is my absurdly bright colored side of the room, complete with a plethora of pillows to choose from. Can you tell I like pink and green?

My closet is a world of its own, full of bright colored polos (separated by color...), shoes, golf clubs, and one of my personal favorites (and a new addition) Hunter rain boots. These things save my life on a regular basis. Seriously, I waded into a swimming pool in them once!

Last but not least is my desk area, which is rarely clean...

At the moment it is not too bad, basically organized chaos, but what can I say? I have a lot of books and computer stuff!

(dont even bother opening the desk drawers, they may attack you!)

The End of a Beginning...

As I sit here in the library, attempting to write a research paper, I started thinking about the fact that this is the last major paper that I have to write for the remainder of my freshman year at Stonehill College. This fact scares me a bit.

I feel like I just moved in, bringing all of my pink and lime green college paraphernalia up two flights of stairs on what was quite possibly the rainiest college move-in day in history. Pretty soon, that same absurd amount of pink and lime green will be headed back down those stairs and into my mom's waiting SUV, headed back to the room that I have called my own for the past 17 years of my life.

In many ways I am ready to move home for summer, I'm ready for pool parties, playing with my rambunctious puppies, and seeing some of my favorite people, some of whom I have not seen since January (ahem... Mary Ellen, Megs, and Liv). At the same time I will miss all of my Stonehill "family" and hopefully I will get to take a few road trips to visit them before the next school year begins.

One down, three to go....
