Back home in Orlando!

After finishing off my duties at the Engineering graduation last night it was time to finish preparing for my move back home for the summer! I am officially done living in dorms! Next year I’ll be living in an apartment off-campus with my own bedroom and own bathroom! CAN’T WAIT! I definitely enjoyed living in the dorm and I’m glad that I did it. It was a very interesting experience and I met some very strange people along the way but I guess that is the point of college! I am glad to be done with freshman year and very glad that I can finally relax and enjoy not having to go to class and study for tests! I will certainly miss living in Beaty Towers and I’ll miss having my roommates and other people around all the time in case I get bored. It feels great to have the first year done and even though it seems like there is so much more college left, there really isn’t! It will be over before I realize it and then I’ll be forced to get a full time job and see what I really learned. So exciting! I can’t wait for the future.

Now that I am back home and have a full desk to myself, I was able to redo my computer set up. I bought a second Acer 22″ monitor at the start of the year to use as a TV and later took it out of use when my room mate got a new 26″ LCD TV for us to use. Now that I have a new graphics card and two monitors I finally have my ideal dual monitor set up! Here is a picture:

I’m pretty excited that I finally am able to use this as my set up! It consists of 2 Acer 22″ LCD screens, my “Hackintosh” desktop running Mac OS X Leopard and a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I feel more productive already and I definitely enjoy being able to watch a movie or TV show on one screen while writing an e-mail or surfing the web on the other! I know that this set up will also help a lot when I am trading on the Forex market but I’ll write more about that sometime later. Overall, feels great to be home and feels good knowing that I have nearly four months of summer ahead of me!
