Board Game Fun

Hey!

January 17, 2012 was Tuesday and yet another evening was spent inside playing board games. This time Claire and I chose the game called “Mancala”, which turned out to be surprisingly exciting.

MLK Day

Hi, everyone!

January 16, 2012 was Monday, but there were no classes because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is a national US holiday. It was snowing heavily and Claire and I spent the evening inside playing “Jenga”.

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” (Martin Luther King Jr.)

How I bought a laptop

Hello to all!

January 15, 2012 was one of those Sundays when going out meant going to the supermarket. Claire and I went to Walmart, but that wasn't one of those I-am-going-to-buy-some-groceries kind of trips. I had something special planned and that was to buy a laptop.

I knew I wanted an American brand and somehow I had “Dell” in mind. Then Claire told me that she had HP and she was really happy with it. Since HP was also an American brand, I didn't really mind whether I would buy Dell or HP.

After some time in Walmart, it came down to two laptops: one HP and one Dell. They were the same price, but the storage space was bigger on HP. That determined my choice (which was really easy, I must say) and I ended up with HP 2000-369WM, which I’m using right now! ;-)

Best,
Daria
