P.C. Shannon

I’m looking forward to getting a new laptop when I start back to school. I’ve been wanting one of the Centrino/Pentium M machines since I first read about them. Dell has one, I think it’s the Latitude D500, that looks like it wil fit my needs. I’m going with Dell because I know and none of the other major manufacturers offer the options and ability to customize that I’m looking for. I’m a very technical, nuts-and-bolts type of person when it comes to making big purchases (or even small ones sometimes).

My financial aid stuff has gone through, but with some surprises, of course. I think I should be able to borrow the maximum unsubsidized Stafford loan amount each year, but my award was less than that. I’m also concerned about how my stipend is going to affect my award. I e-mailed the financial aid folks, but I won’t hear back for a while. So it goes.
