With Spring break drawing nearer and nearer (March 30, w0ot), I guess you could say I'm sort of looking forward to the mini vacation. Working at 110% nonstop does take its toll on you after a while. I'm getting closer and closer to the point where if I have to bag one more grocery item, listen to one more lecture, or so much as think about another class assignment, I'll snap and lose all control. The book "The Shining" comes to mind...okay maybe not that extreme. I guess you could say I'm spent right about now, and I need a little relaxation.
In other news, I uploaded a random video on my youtube account. I usually just watch videos, but I figured I may as well go for it so I could say I made at least one. It's basically a mixed compilation of some songs I listen to (I listen to all genres). Here's the link if you want to check it out:

Lastly, I've been looking up the new DS model, and while I desperately need a replacement, I'm not sure whether I should buy the DSi or just pick up a DS Lite. Looking at the DSi pro-wise, the differences between the two are that the DSi has an internal camera, a DSi shop that allows you to download new games and applications with Nintendo points, and a built in audio player that has voice recorder and a music player of ACC audio. It's also smaller and more sleek. Con-wise, it isn't backward compatible with GBA games or accessories, the battery life has been reduced by roughly five to six hours, and its cost for North America is going to be $169.99 (I can get a DS Lite for $100), which isn't so bad when you have parents to pay for your games, but I...don't have that luxury. Sure, maybe there's some GBA games in the DSi shop, but what about the ones I already have? Nevertheless, I need a handheld since I don't have a single video game in my dorm (my Wii is at my folks' home), I just don't know which one to get. Thoughts?
