Still slogging through the last two weeks of school. (Still don't understand why this community college has to start and end like a month later than everybody else.) Just have to finish two more math assignments and write two papers (one of which is minimum 7 pages) and then I'm free and clear to start speed summering during the 5-week window where my summer break and my siblings' actually overlap. Ugh.

On the plus side, though, my Framework laptop is coming in the mail tomorrow, and I'm super excited for that. I've always been a huge fan of open source and repairability and being able to take things apart, see how they work, and make them do something different, so I'm a huge believer in what the Framework company is doing. Plus the one I ordered is fully kitted out and massively overspecced (do I need 7TB of storage or 32GB of RAM? No, but why not get them anyway?) and unlike my current laptop I'm actually going to be able to game on it! Looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077 at more than 20 frames per second with every graphical option turned all the way down! (Gotta love that iGPU life...)

Another thing I'm super excited for is the Open Sauce convention this weekend! I was there last year, saw a bunch of cool gadgets people had built, and got autographs from a few of my favorite YouTubers in the technology space, and that was super cool! Really looking forward to going again and seeing even more cool stuff and getting an autograph from Technology Connections which was the one I really wanted last year but couldn't get.
