Hello Internet,

So, if you haven't noticed, until recently I'd been absent from this blog for quite a while, making no new posts.  The reason for this was because of being short of a good-working laptop, as my 2 year old Asus had been going more and more downhill and not performing with the ease that I wanted it to.  Long story short, for much of this summer I ended up having to share my parents' old Dell laptop, which made it almost impossible to squeeze some quality blogging in most of the time.  I'd been talking about getting a new laptop for some time, even while I was still using my Asus.  I wanted a top-notch laptop that would last me through the years.  I always talked about getting a Mac someday.  It was the object of my envy and I knew it to be the superior laptop model against Windows laptops, which never seemed to last very long at all.  Anyone who was anyone had a Mac of their own.  Of course, the high price of a Mac made my goal of having one always out of reach.

That is, until recently.  After much saving and patient waiting, I finally made it happen and bought my first Mac!
