Go Go Go
Gahhhh! 
The days are flying by too fast *sigh* Next week I have another set of finals coming up. I’m already sure I’m not going to pass one of the three finals. I haven’t been a loyal visitor of the classes so … 
I’m quite sure I have to retake the whole course next semester. But not all is lost I will study hard and get a sufficient grade on the other two exams 
:clover: At the moment it feels as if I’m on semi automatic pilot. Getting through the day, stress about finals, do my business stuff in the virtual world of Second Life and worry just a little bit about my friends / love life.
Hahaha to get through this January blues I decided to indulge into a little bit of shop therapy :saylove: 
Not only did I buy a complete outfit from H&M - yes from underwear to wintercoat - I also treated myself to a brandnew limited edition notebook for X-mas/New Year! Even though I first wanted to buy another model in black, I ended up with a pure white one. My sister thought it was a really girly laptop *tee-hee*
For the fans, the specs of my Packerd Bell Easy Note MB88 P004 :
- Intel Core Duo T5450 | 1.66 Ghz
- Memory 2 GB
- Diskdrive 160 GB
- Double Layer DVD Rewriter
- 4 in 1 Cardreader
- Widescreen 15.4 inch with Diamond View
- NVIDEA GeForce 8600M GS | 512 MB
- Bluetooth & WiFi connectivity
- Webcam
I’m really happy with my new laptop, I especially love the NVIDEA graphics card 
:twinkle: It also has Windows Vista Home Premium, which takes a little to get used to… but, hahah overall it’s a perfect little notebook ~ I’m not going to abandon my first laptop! I want to upgrade the memory to 2 GB and maybe upgrade the memory from my new laptop to 4 GB *wuhahahahah* Ok - sorry, I’m a crazy gadget girl 
And if that wasn’t enough … during the X-mas breakfast of my work - which was held at the luxurious NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam right at Dam Square - we were told we could choose from 5 X-mas gifts! We could go for a (1) Nintendo Wii; (2) Panasonic Camcorder; (3) A Clothing Cheque worth € 300,- ; (4) A Green Cheque worth € 300,- or (5) An Apple iPod Touch 16GB model !!! I decided to go for the iPod which I now take with my almost everywhere I go - it’s amazing !!! Hmmm~ I guess this January month isn’t that bad at all 
:cafe: I can’t complain as a 100% gadget girl *hihi*
Ah before I forget - the new challenges for 2008 are online. The winners of the 2007 challenges are able to pick up their prize badge in the weekend

Ik heb mezelf ook een nieuwe gekocht, ook met Vista! Het is inderdaad even wennen, maar het ziet er wel allemaal erg mooi uit he?
Succes met je tentamens!

Ooo… retail therapy indeed! I think I’m more jealous of your new laptop than your new outfit from H&M. *lol* You know you’re a computer geek when you’re more interested in the laptop than the clothes. *lol*

I am currently downloading SecondLife even though I know barely anything about it. I’ve just heard a few good things about it in the past few months and decided to go for it. Dialup connection. 65% downloaded. 2 hours and 30 minutes in the making. Oh yeah, everyone’s jealous of my awesomely fast connection speed now!
Yay for laptops! I bought mine a few months back and even though the stats probably aren’t all that great I still love it. (Watch, now something bad’ll happen… *knocks on wood*).
Take care! Lovely layout, btw.
