Gmail!!! Exams!!

Don't you just love it when can kill two birds with one stone? Well I personally do not condone the killing of birds, but it is an appropriate metaphor to what just happened to me: I went to Blogger to post a blog for today, and I get an invite to be "one of the very first" to test out Gmail, the new web-based e-mail service by the makers of Google!

I first heard about this intriguing service from a forum I routinely troll, and grew envious of those who posted screenshots and secretive information regarding Gmail. Well, who's the green monster now, huh punks?!?!?!

Gmail: Hot-what mail? :P

I've already changed my contact e-mail for Blogger to my Gmail account, and plan on making the changes to all of the other internet services that I care enough for to boast Gmail in. Since the service is still in beta testing, I will not be changing contact information for more personal or sensitive information, like Amazon. But you can bet that I rather have Maxim know about my Gmail account over my university one. :P

Ugh... just realized that today is supposed to be STUDY DAY, since I got a MGTC24 (Managerial Skills) final exam tomorrow at 2PM. Ack. I enjoy the content, and even plan on purchasing a couple books suggested by the prof, Dr. Gruman. But the textbook isn't a smooth read, and I as usual went to a minimal amout of classes. Sigh, I still got just less than 24 hours to get into the mood to study, but I should study, and will study, hard that is. All the other courses I had finals for all have some sort of negativity connected (Marketing - VERY low marketing plan project mark; Finance - poor final exam performance; Economics of New Economy - well ok I think this course went the best, but still looks like I'll end up with a mid-70 grade).

OK then, back to procrastinating.. er I mean, trying to study... :)
