Wow, what a wild couple of days! I mean, history was made on so many levels. I will get to the Inauguration later in this post, so hold your horses. But, the first thing I want to talk about is my switchover to Mac OS X (again (again)). It has actually been going quite well, really. I have made myself at home with Leopard installed from the Retail DVD, so I have access to all Apple updates without having to resort to a hack or whatnot. This may not seem like that big of a deal, but for me it truly is. I mean, I still have some issues (such as lack of Quartz Extreme or Core Image), but I am looking into the matter. Other than that, it has been quite a fun experience. The only thing I haven’t gotten around to doing is syncing my iPod to the new system (the iPod is currently formatted for Windows), because it will take a good half hour at least to sync all of my songs and videos back to the device. Oh well, I’ll get to it someday.
So, how’s life been, you may ask. Well, pretty decent. I mean, other than the fact that I have 7 or 8 chemistry labs that are overdue, and if I don’t complete them by next Friday I won’t pass, or the fact that my French midterm is about an 80 now, but I am still failing for this quarter. But, other than that, it’s been pretty good :). Personally, I have been having some health issues that need to get checked out (mainly my stomach and it’s associated digestive problems), so I will be going to the doctor tomorrow morning to check up on it. I do suffer from acid reflux, but unfortunately, these new issues I am experiencing far outdo what is expected even with severe acid reflux. Hopefully it isn’t anything serious and maybe some medications can clear it up, or at least make me feel a bit better. Some of you may have noticed that my relationship status on Facebook changed from ‘Single’ to ‘In a Relationship’ a week ago. I am not ready to publically explain yet, but when I do, it will be quite a nice story (I haven’t told a good story on here in a long while :P).
And yes, finally, I want to talk about the history that was made yesterday. I think the picture below clearly explains it (click here for the full image):
Forget Obama (Just Kidding)! Meet Super Chinned Steve!
Yes, our new President met Super Chinned Steve. Look at the excited expression on his face! And yes, Steve did impale the man across the street with his chin. I feel bad for the guy, but if you get in a super hero’s way, you’re bound to get burned. But, all joking aside, yesterday was a quite a powerful day for America. As an American, I feel both proud and accomplished at what we achieved yesterday. As I watched Barack Obama take the oath of office, I was in a state of disbelief that this was actually happening. We have a black president. Unfortunately, some people I know are not very happy about this (as Republicans and as racists in some regards), and ended up sending me the ‘Barack Obama Countdown Clock’ on Facebook, which displays the number of days until Obama’s first term ends. Luckily, my profile lists me as a Democrat, so I don’t have to worry about petty people thinking otherwise of me. I wish I could write more, but I need to get my labs in order so I can get to work!
