New laptop, ch-ch-changes...
Last day of work at Geoware was technically last Friday. Last day of actual work was Thursday.
I asked about buying out the lease on my work laptop, an IBM ThinkPad R40. 8GB of hard drive space, a few years old. Found out the cost on Friday: $980 inclusive. Within two hours I had headed down to UW's Campus TechShop to pick up a new model.
Lenovo C100, 80GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, wireless, 15", brand new. Pricetag on the model said $649+, but I took it home for $549+. It does pay to do your homework. :)
Partied in Waterloo on Friday night with Paul and Asia, partially celebrating the birth of Pranalife. Their house, followed by the Jane Bond, followed by dancing until close at the Starlight, followed by three-to-a-bed at their place overnight and breakfast at the Checkerboard. It was a great excursion, much needed.
Partied in Toronto on Saturday night for Bryan's birthday, which you can read more of here.
But also still getting work done: two Op. Research assignments and one Econ assigment, and studying for upcoming tests and quizzes. Plus I have to do a bit more work on Catalyst this weekend.

Hallo
Ultimate frisbee team won again tonight ... not too shabby considering the "Jello Shot" birthday party at two of the team members' house last night.
Otherwise this weekend was lots of work -- MSSA president stuff, some chilling out, some real schoolwork.
