Doing well. Going to be graduating from College a few months from now.

On one hand, I guess I'm doing alright. I'm still well and running. Managing to help the local community somewhat. On the other hand, life problems, feeling secluded, and rare sleepless nights because of.
I don't mean to sound heartless, but I just don't want to rant/whine/whatever. I'm just holding on right now and it seems to get more difficult as time passes.

Calm as I finally finished my bachelors degree and graduate in a week in a half, which my sister will be graduating as well... Afterwards, I plan on getting a Masters in IT Administration and Security while my sister continues her Masters in BME.
Also, ordered new computers as graduation presents. My sister is getting a Dell Precision N4700 with a 2.7 GHz Intel i7 Quad Core, 16 GB of memory, 1080p IPS screen, 1 TB HD and nVidia Quadro K2000 and Windows 7 because she uses Engineering applications that require a fast computer. I'm getting a 2012 non-Retina Macbook Pro with a 2.6GHz i7 Quad Core, 750GB 7200 RPM HD, High-res Anti-Glare screen, nVidia Geforce GT 650m with 1GB GDDR5 with a 16 GB aftermarket upgrade. Either way, it will make running virtual machines and video editing a lot quicker. Can't wait. :p

Why didn't you wait until WWDC (in June)? New MacBooks could be introduced then, and the price of the models they replace might come down a bit. Also, if they do reduce the price of the 2012 MacBooks at WWDC, you'd be eligible for a credit of the difference if you buy one at the end of May (less than two weeks before the price reduction).

I'm afraid that they will discontinue the 15 inch classic Macbook Pros and keep only the 13 inch, which means I will be stuck with the Retinas that you can't upgrade and they are too expensive when you add a 16 GB DDR3 ram and a 512GB SSD since it's non-servicable. Of course, that means I can't do a build to order once those models go away. But I don't really care about having an older GPU and CPU as a Quad Core i7 is already faster than my dual core i5 2.4GHz Base model and that I don't really play games on my computers. I do Photoshop, video editing, programing and run multiple Virtual Machines.
Also, I ordered it with a JIS keyboard as I find out that you can't actually type some words such as パーティー using romanji typing and I'm still learning the language. While there is a few differences, I think I can get used to it since it's similar to a qwerty keyboard.
