Last Thursday, I was able to finally make it down to my school’s main campus (which is an hour from where I live) to get my financial aid check. By Friday morning, the check was in the bank, and by Friday afternoon, I had ordered something that I’ve wanted for a long time.

Hello, lovely. I opted for a 320gb HD with 4gb RAM. Not only that, but I’m getting iWork pre-installed as well as Microsoft Office 2008. I’ve never used a Mac before, so I’m looking forward to learning.

My computer is “prepared for shipment” at the moment, so I’m expecting it to arrive in a few days. Any advice from Mac users?
