Counting Down To The End Of The Year

Well, my semester break is winding down.  It's hard to believe 2011 is almost over!  Seems like just yesterday I was talking about 2011 starting.  I guess the idiom is true...time flies (especially as I get older).

Today I ordered myself a late Christmas present.  It should be delivered between Jan 4-Jan 6.  I broke down and bought a 27-inch iMac.  It'll be all pimped out..

• 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
• 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
• 1TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
• AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5

After a bit of initial Buyer's Remorse, I'm really excited and can't wait to get it.  Now I have to get a new computer desk/table.  Lord knows the new iMac won't fit into my current setup.  I'm leaning towards a plain Craftsman-style table and maybe a new Craftsman-style chair.

Tomorrow morning a friend (Aaron) and I are taking a road trip to Raleigh.  Aaron has to head to the Apple store to put up a replacement for his iPhone.  Something happened to it and now it's acting up.  Maybe we'll make a day of it since we'll be at Crabtree Valley Mall.
