It's been a while but I'm finally living in a new city! My college education started eleven days ago and I've settled in, into my new apartment which I share with another student and also, temporarily, his brother (as in, we've got separate rooms but share kitchen and bathroom). I ordered a laptop to use for studies and work and it arrived yesterday. A word of advice: You might think a laptop is small and that you can take your bike to get it. Think again. ;)
It turned out the package was almost as tall as my bike and kinda wide too, which made it very difficult to transport. After walking 25% of the road home trying to lead my bike and keep the package from falling off it, I discovered that it was possible to put it over the bicycle handlebar and the kinda-small-basket I had on the front, all as long as I grabbed the large plastic bag with my hands and kept holding it with a tight grip while I was also holding the handlebar. Tricky tricky, but we all made it home in one piece. The laptop I bought is a MSI GS70 2PE-something. It's 17" so unfortunatley I think it would be very hard to use on the trains here sine the laptop is too big.. But we'll see. I don't plan on taking the train any time soon anyways.
Today we had out first seminar, but other than that, we've mostly been playing board games for these past two weeks. No, seriously. I'm studying digital games and this class is an introduction to that, to learn us how to think and analyze games.
By the way, it still echoes in my apartment of 32 square meters, due to lack of furniture (I only have my bed, computer station, chest of drawers, tv-bench and two chairs, inluding my gaming one) so I'm going to order a sofa bed next year (when I can afford one) and also a coffee table. This laptop set me back a lot financially so it's probably gonna be a couple of months or so before i can really afford to buy anything. But hey, who needs furniture when you've got a brand-new gaming laptop? :)
