Bad Low Carb Food
Wednesday, July 28, 2004 Comments (1)
What’s up with this stupid low carb craze? My biology professor said fad diets are never good - most of them are not even healthy. The Atkins diet actually isn’t good. And this is true with all fad diets: once you stop, you regain the weight you lost very fast.
Back to Normal

Well after two months of wasting away, I’m starting to get back into shape. I’ve been playing two hours of basketball everyday since Tuesday, when the doctor gave me the a-okay for my arm. I can resume most normal activities but I shouldn’t be doing strenuous activities for another month. That’s good because once the semester starts I can start lifting again.

My new computer came today! Man, this machine is NICE. I’m going to wait until tomorrow to set it up. I have to move a hard drive on my current computer to the new one. Then I have to format my old computer and set up all the programs on the new computer. It’ll probably take most of the whole day. But who cares! My new computer is here!
Here are the specs:
The Best Thing Happened Today

Okay, as some of you know, I took a summer class in June at Cornell. This class was COMM 263, called Organizational Writing. Overall, it was pretty easy. Anyway, there was a final project where we worked in groups. While waiting to hear our grade on the project (which we don’t have yet), one of my group members sends out an email saying grades were out. He was referring to our grades for the class. As more of a background, your GPA (grade point averages) is calculated based on the number of credits you have and the grade you receive for the class. So for example, a 4-credit class carries more weight than a 3-credit class when calculating the GPA. Now for the good part…
New Computer
Thursday, July 1, 2004 Comments
A week ago I ordered a new computer from Dell. I emailed customer service today asking why it hasn’t been shipped and they said it will be put on priority. I actually ordered a refurbished system from Dell Outlet. Refurbished systems are computers that people have returned and get put back into production and testing. Even though nothing is wrong with it they just can’t sell it as new, so they sell it in Dell Outlet for big discounts. These babies usually sell fast but I was able to find a configuration I wanted at the right price. I had been scoping out the Dell website for weeks, just waiting for the right deal to come along.
