For those that do not know, one of my hobbies is upgrading my computer. Sure, it's an expensive hobby, but it gives me a motivation to do better in things that I "should" do. For instance, after a hard week of midterms, I gave myself a gift of a computer mouse. Anyhow, I decided to journal my upgrades as they come along, mostly for my own benefit though.
