Friday, the arrival of my new computer

It was another day off for me today. It was nice since I didn’t have to go into work today. I wasn’t doing much today, but it was much like yesterday. I just talked to family and worked on my new computer. It was nice to finally have a new computer, but I was struggling through it because of the language. I could have sworn that you could change the language OS and that’s why I decided to buy my computer in Japan and not in America. But the problem that I had with that is that they don’t offer that option in Japan. I think that’s a bit ridiculous since I’m sure that some people in Japan would want to have their OS be English, since they could always change it back to Japanese if they wanted to. So how come they aren’t allowed to go from Japanese to English. That’s very weird since I would think that all other languages would be able to transpose itself into English. Microsoft has to work out those kinks in Windows Vista.

So what I did for most of the day was to get all the programs that I needed for the computer. It was really a lot of work and I didn’t even finish all of it. I wanted to move all my files from the old laptop to the new one so I could pass along the old laptop to my youngest sister, since she would need it for school and other things like that. It’s a lot of work and I have a lot of files that still need to be transferred. I think that all this will take weeks to finish and then I need to upgrade some parts of the old laptop so that it’s ready to go into the next few years without any major problems.

The first thing I did with the new laptop was bust it open to see where the memory cards go. It was a bit tricky and took me about 30 minutes to figure out where they were located. One was located underneath the laptop and the other one was underneath the keyboard. So I had to open up both sides to put in my memory cards. But I think that it will all be worth it in the end. I have the need for speed and I think that the new laptop will bring that to me. But like all things, it will end up getting slow in a few years. I was talking to my sister while doing all of this, but the computer was lagging. I think that it was because I just had so many things on my computer and the timing was perfect because my computer was literally about to die on me. It was just too full without the space to carry all the functions that I needed it to carry. From that point on, all I did was just get things ready like downloading some plug-ins and all the things that I would need from the old computer and putting it into the new computer. This took a long time since I have a lot of files scattered everywhere. I needed to organize everything first.

I didn’t have to go to work today because today they are setting up for the English festival. I don’t have to do any of the preparation work for the event, which I’m not really sure why, but something that I’m really appreciative of. If I did, I’m sure that I would probably be more tired than the teachers at the school are. They have to work so much and they don’t have as much time off as I do. It makes me feel bad that I do have so much time off, but then again, I’m only a part-time teacher.
