I finally did it!

I've been thinking about doing a clean install on my Mac for quite a while now because I feel like it's too cluttered and I was running out of disk space. I do feel like I'm too attached to this laptop and if I do erase everything, I'd be losing a little piece of me. Yeah, it's sad. I'm so dependent on it that I think cleaning everything up would actually be good for me. I do have two backups on separate harddrives of my MacBook so really, I'm not gonna lose much! But still I was so nervous when I clicked "erase" on Disk Utility. But I did it.

I planned on doing a Lion clean install but upon Googling, I found that it wasn't possible without having a bootable USB Lion installer. And I don't have the 8GB USB drive that's required to create one. So I just erased my drive and re-installed Snow Leopard, before upgrading to Lion. The process was fine; it took a couple hours with practically no problems. I do like this feeling I get when it's empty. It's like a brand new computer but not really.

Anyways, welcome, Lion!

The first things I installed after doing the clean install: Google Chrome, VLC Player, Twitter, Microsoft Office. I'm trying to not install as much crap as I probably would, but I do miss having my games and songs and all the crap!!

A random thought

I was just thinking about how eventful this past month and a half has been for me (graduating college, getting my first car, moving into my own apartment, starting my first job and getting my first paycheck) and suddenly a thought occurred to me: DOES THIS MEAN I'M A GROWNUP NOW?!

So...

Haven't posted in a while, but I've had A LOT going on lately!

Mid-May, I graduated from college, then my parents bought me my first car. And then I got my driver's license. Then I went with my family on a 10-day trip to California for my brother's graduation, and also for my last summer break probably ever. Then I got back and about a week later, I started my first job! The Friday of that week, I moved into my apartment. So yeah, that's what have been up with me lately.
