I am Soooo Overwhelmed

Hey readers! I would like to announce that at this very moment I am blogging from my new PC. It feels so great to finally have a computer that fits my needs! A lot has been going on, so I thought I’d write a post to summarize everything:

I had my 10th retight done yesterday. The next time I get my hair done, I’m going to have to travel 2 hours to get there (due to my upcoming move). For all of you constantly searching for Johadeni Nappi’s website, it is still under construction. As promised, I will continue to post their contact information (Address: 1638 9th St N, St Petersburg, FL 33704, Phone: (727) 823-9899).

  • Over the weekend, I travelled to Gainesville, FL (where I’ll be moving to) for the 3rd time searching for an apartment. Thankfully, this time was successful and I’ve located my future place of residence! Next step is coordinating the actual move for the first week of August.
  •   Today is the first day of my last week at my current job and I am so ready to move on. An interesting situation has been brewing and let’s just say that I need to get my software copyrighted ASAP!
  • I have more potential customers who are interested in my product. That means that I’m going to have to work at superspeed to get my business site, paperwork, pricing, etc. up and running. It’s going to be a LOT of work but I’m looking forward to it.
  • Chino   I am going home to Miami, FL this upcoming weekend to drop off my puppy Chino (I’m not taking him with me when I move). Sure I’ll be sad but I think that’s the best I can do for him right now. When I move to Gainesville, I need to focus on getting situated with everything. Besides, my parents love him and they have a huge yard for him to run around in.

I think that’s about it. I’m trying to be quick because I do need to go off to work soon. TTYL!

Finally, A Computer Solution

I am so excited to say that I have FINALLY purchased my new computer!!! Thanks to CyberPower (I refused to purchase another Dell), I was able to purchase a brand new desktop for only $547, yes $547! It is very powerful and I configured it to my liking, including 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, and a 1GB video card. I cannot wait for it to arrive so that I can really get to work on Ciabranel Design & Technology Associates. it is set to be shipped around 7/15.

After the Fellowship Orientation

To follow up on a previous post, I attended the Mcknight Doctoral Fellowship orientation last weekend. The good news is that I left feeling more prepared for graduate school in the fall. I was very fortunate to have state political official, university deans, and others take the time out of their busy schedules to help students like myself learn how to navigate the Ph.D. process. I’ll be sure to discuss the actual fellowship in another post…. The bad news is that I did not receive a computer, so I’m back at the drawing board.

Shopping for a New Computer

I’m finally getting around to shopping for a new computer. The old one has got to go because it is definitely impeding my progress. Honestly though, I have been trying to hold off on this purchase because I don’t really have the funds for it right now. In addition, I have been awarded a McKnight Doctoral Fellowship to attend graduate school starting this fall. So there is a chance that I may be surprised with a new computer to go along with the fellowship (this happened to me a few years ago as a McNair Scholar during undergrad, but unfortunately I damaged the computer). I won’t find out about the possible surprise computer until I attend orientation for the fellowship program which is about a week away. In the meantime, I’m stuck hightailing it to the library or suffering with my time sucking, extra slow computer at home.
