F. I. N. A. L. S.

So here I am, procrastinating. Well, I'm not procrastinating, I'm relaxing after taking a final... before I have to finish my paper and study for my last final.

So, I've got a dilemma: I am eventually going to want to get into graphic design and am going to want some powerful software, i.e. photoshop, to do it. Well, the newest and shiniest product, Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, from Adobe, the guys who do graphic design software the best, is available for purchase by A&M students for $370.

The Adobe website lists the same product on their website for $1,799. That is an 80% discount! That is insane!

Problem is, I'm only going to be a student until December 13, thus ending my eligibility for this insane discount. Also, I don't currently have a computer that can run such high-end fancy software... but I plan on getting a new computer some day soon. And if I can save over a THOUSAND dollars on professional-grade software... Man...

I have two gut reactions: a) You're an idiot. Get back to studying, that is money you could go on a ski trip with, and b) you should seriously consider this, it's a great deal.

I shall have to study on this... also I should think about studying for my exam... Seriously, finals stress me out. This video makes it better. Have a great day!

That is the cutest video...ever. I died laughing when he fell over.

This too shall pass (finals). I don't even remember what my last one was, or how I did on it. I do wish you luck though!!

As for the graphic design bit - how long until that goal comes to the forefront? i.e.: how long will you be in the military? or will you do something with it while you are in? It is a good deal, but keep in mind that technology is ALWAYS changing...

Okay that was my two bits...back to watching the baby!
