My new MacBook and iPod Touch, that is. They were supposed to arrive Friday, which was less than 48 hours after I ordered them. Apple has incredibly fast delivery service. I chose the free 5 day shipping. When I got home from my French class, there was a note from FedEx on the door telling [...]

Alex Carpenter is the lead singer and founder of the band, The Remus Lupins, which is my favorite Wizard Rock band. You have to know that in order for this post to make much sense.
Friday night was the second Wizard Rock concert. Tonks and the Aurors opened, followed by Gred and Forge, the Whomping Willows, [...]

I ordered my new MacBook and free iPod Touch last night. Yesterday was the first day of Apple’s Buy a Mac, Get a free iPod deal. I’m glad I waited because not only do I get the free iTouch, Apple upgraded their MacBooks to come with a 160GB hard drive instead of a 120GB one [...]

After our GIT programming, we went to the Boston Commons to eat lunch. My sister made us sandwiches because everyone knows Hufflepuffs make good sandwiches. We actually met the guy who started the Hufflepuffs make good sandwiches thing, Scott from the Blibbering Humdingers, and my sister made him a sandwich, too.
Lunch was fun because after [...]

The second day of LeakyCon began with my sister and I getting together with two other girls to work on the programming we signed up to do. It was an Improv workshop centered around Harry Potter.
We named ourselves the GITs, which stands for Gryffinpuff Improv Troupe. Gryffinpuff because two of us are Gryffindors and two [...]

Without me complaining about textbook prices? I’m taking a summer course that I am already really mad that I have to take in the first place (French). Today was the first day and after the class was over, I went to the book store to get the book. Since it’s only a month long course, [...]

I am retiring my iBook. In a few weeks, once Apple brings back their ‘Buy a Mac, get a free iPod’ deal, I’ll be getting a brand new MacBook.
I took my iBook to the Apple Store and they told me it would cost at least $200 to fix it. $200 to open it up and [...]

The semester ended Friday and I am now home. Friday was a hectic day of my last final, packing, cleaning, and loading up cars. I got home at 10pm, so I didn’t unpack anything until Saturday.
I unpacked all my clothes and realized that I was missing some of them. I believe I left an entire [...]
