blustockingGoddammit....I love and hate financial aid day. I realize I shouldn't complain about having money, but shit...I do have to pay it back, someday.
I still can't decide between a MacBook Pro and a PC.
MacBook Pro because it's more geared towards what I want to do, probably better quality, and doesn't have fucking Vista. It's also $1700 for refurbished, without Photoshop, word processing, a mouse, and possibly an extended warranty. I could easily drop $2600 if not more.
OR, get a decent PC laptop, force it to swallow XP, buy PS with my educational discount. Clearly this sounds more intelligent...but MacBook pretty.
Crap.
Also, I just bought a lovely black gas mask on eBay...for ARTS <---thanks Jen. That's all I can call it now.
I've been thrown into another task...possibly two. Curating a show in February with the theme of "Exes". It's a Valentine's Day event. Also, I've been nudged into applying for a position on the Lawrence Arts Commission.
Busy, school hasn't even started yet.
TOO MUCH. But good, I think.
Meeting with potential wedding photography client tomorrow.
Must finish two paintings by 25th. Have to re-do screenprint for Darfur benefit. Put together a plan of attack for V-Day show. School starts Thurs. Dinner with Sara on Friday. Kim's staff party on Sunday.
Balls. BALLS I SAY!

Plus, with the money I save on not buying a Mac, I actually COULD buy legal software. Hrmmm....
Being in school, I've just been surrounded by Macs and it's hard to not buy into that "design standard". Plus, I do know a few people who've had theirs for quite a long time without any real problems. I need to think about it more.
