Hiya everyone =). First of all, I know I promised that I would blog on Thursday and Friday but I've been surprisingly busy. So, I guess it's time for a catch up with you all now.
My Macbook arrived on Wednesday rather than Friday as I expected. But I worked out that my Macbook was delivered on the day that the new operating system (iOS Lion) was released. I suppose they were in the rights to deliver on or before the release date as you always have people who will moan that they received a new system with an old operating system on it. I on the other hand don't really like the idea of the new operating system as there seems to be a Windowsness about it, as far as I'm aware you can place applications and folders anywhere on the desktop and in some cases you have rows and rows of applications and folders across your desktop, which to be honest is the one thing that annoys me about Windows. I really do have a thing about tidy desktops and Mac iOS Snow Leopard seems to keep your desktop extremely tidy. I actually do love my Macbook, iWork 09 is a lot more compatible with Microsoft than I was previously told (admittedly by a friend who hates Apple Macintosh), also the system is much faster than any laptop that I've ever owned and I love the fact that you can download decent applications as you would on a Smartphone. I know intel have released an app store, but to me Windows seems pretty outdated compared to Apple Mac. Mac's are surprisingly easy to use too, as soon as I loaded my Macbook up I could use it, I took to it like a duck and water. I probably shouldn't be selling the benefits of Apple Mac too you, but I would advise anyone to buy an Apple Mac for all of the reasons above and possibly more.
Moving on to my social life, on Thursday I met up with two friends from my college days, Racheal and Amanpreet. We met up at my local shopping centre and 1pm and were quite chatty from the word go as we hadn't been out as a three for about four years. We certainly had a lot of catching up to do. The first thing we did was go for a meal as we had all made the decision to skip breakfast and save room for a meal, so by this time we were all starving. We went to the food plaza and treated ourselves to a plate of chip shop chips and a coke as funnily enough neither of us had eaten chips for a while. We were going to get dessert too but then decided to grab something when we got to the cinema. After our wonderful (but fatty) lunch we headed off to the cinema. We decided to see Harry Potter 7pt2 at the cinema even though none of us had seen all of the films or HP 7pt1. We had an hour to spare before the film started so we decided to grab a coffee and have more of a catch up and then we bought some popcorn to share and entered the showroom. I really enjoyed the film even though there were parts that I didn't quite grasp because I hadn't seen the previous film or read the book. I'm not going to give away any spoilers so all I can say is that I do indeed love Neville Longbottom. Anyway, after the film we headed back into the shopping centre and had a look around before we realised that it was almost 6pm and Amanpreet's journey home would take more than an hour. We had a quick look in Schuh at shoes for graduation, there were some beautiful shoes including some red glitter ones that were exactly like Dorothy's in the Wizard of Oz, it was just disappointing that they all cost around £80, but knowing me I will still buy a pair nevertheless, if I want something enough I will fork out for it. After our visit to Schuh, we headed off to Asda as Amanpreet had to get a bit of shopping before we started our journeys off home. We then went to the bus station and departed. When I got home on Thursday night I just took things easy and watched an episode of Sherlock which I soon discovered was one I'd already seen, one from the pilot series that BBC aired last year, I still enjoyed it nevertheless.
On Friday (yesterday) I helped my mom to do the shopping at Asda and that's pretty much all there was to my day. I bought a new book called "The Spy" by Cussler and Scott, it's a detective story that's set in 1908, I read a chapter last night and it's pretty intriguing so far, I shall read more later on. Yesterday I also emailed someone who lives somewhere miles away about tracing someone on our family tree, apparently this woman who is some kind of distant relative has information about the specific person that we're looking for, and maybe other family members, this should be interesting if my email gets a response.
Today is a pretty average Saturday for me, the kind of day where I take things easy but also get small jobs done at the same time.
I'll update soon,
