It’s going to kick some serious butt, and hopefully the fact it’s arriving later in the week will mean that I can spend a few lazy days earlier in the mid-semester break reading books and chilling at the beach/in parks/generally being a uni bum/arts hippie.

Either way, this puppy should do nicely for at least the next five years.
