On the Train, Part 1
On Friday Night Eoban was coming home from Indiana University and, since his route goes somewhat close to Loyola, I decided to go up to Milwaukee for the weekend. It was an uneventful weekend I guess. When I arrived on Friday Night I mostly spent the time with my sister Samantha’s new 12″ Powerbook. She just got it and I found myself glued to OS X and its ease of use and power. I never knew that the “applications” on OS X were actually packages that contained multiple files inside of them that could even be modified if desired.
When I woke up the next day I went to lunch with my mother, other sister, and brother to meet up with some extended family. The rest of the afternoon was spent on the Powerbook, finding new and amusing things to do with OS X.
Later that night I went to the Marquette basketball game with Ryan Alexander. It was fun seeing Ryan again, especially now that I was an annoying college student instead of an annoying high school student. He seemed in good spirits, until Marquette got their ass kicked by Winthrop. We went back to watch the first half of the USC football game, during which time USC started doing poorly. He took me back home at halftime and when he got back, USC started doing well.
I woke up Sunday Morning to find that I had deleted a good amount of my sister’s data from her Powerbook. I felt horrid at the time, but all was not lost. The data she absolutely NEEDED to keep she has backed up. I offered to have Eoban use one of his disk-recovery tools to see what else I could salvage, but she said that it was unnecessary. On Sunday Afternoon I left for Chicago at 1:00PM and got back to my dorm at approximately 4PM. It was a fun weekend.
