Hello!

I managed to get my customised style packages for school assignments to work in Word for Mac. I feel super accomplished! Also, I actually have hopes of being able to complete assignments on my laptop now which is great, not going to lie. I even copied pretty much all of my files to the external drive in the past 2 days, and I had a pretty neat surprise coming for me on that front as well - my drive is formatted in fat32, which means that both a PC and a Mac can read the files on it and write on it as well. It made the whole data transfer business so much easier, I can hardly believe it.

I still haven't been able to figure out the mail servers, but my dad knows something about those apparently, so maybe he'll be able to help me at some point.

I've gone a little shopping-crazy after I got the money from my grandpa. I have about 6 or so packages coming for me from online shopping - I have two raffle prizes, 5 Tolkien books, some Swamp Family memorabilia, Hiddles movies, makeup, and the last book in the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare on the way at least. I also went to KCM yesterday, and bought Coldplay's new album Ghost Stories and two movies: Rush and the one about wikileaks, I think it's called... Fifth State? Or something to that effect.

Anyway, we watched Rush with my parents last night, and it was insanely good! I hate motor sports, but the cinematography and casting and the pacing of the story altogether made it really impressive and touching. For my parents, there was obviously the extra dimension of having watched F1 in the mid-70's - they already knew who the characters were and pretty much what happened to them. I was so caught up in the suspense I actually had to google the real-life stories of Niki Lauda and James Hunt, because I couldn't bear to wait until later in the movie to find out, haha. Also, Chris Hemsworth was obviously flawless and glorious, and I really like Daniel Brühl after this as well. I mean, I had a sort of grudging respect for him after watching the Inglourious Basterds, but his character was such a douchebag that I really couldn't make myself like him too much. The struggle is real.

I'm still on the hunt for a region 2 War Horse DVD that doesn't cost 30-something dollars. Also, I want to buy The Gathering Storm and the British versions of Wallander because - and I'm sure you've guessed it by now - they star Hiddleston. At some point we are going to have the Hiddles marathon of our dreams, God damn it!

Anyway, I think it's a good place to end this entry. I'm really lazy about adding pictures to my posts - I'll try to work on that.
