Happy 2012!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
No resolutions... Since resolutions doesn't really last long and are broken after a few days... for me xD! I just wish a better new year for everyone (including me!!!) & we all survive whatever 2012 is gonna throw at us. (I know, I hope to survive. TT_TT)
To summarize what has happened since my last post. xD
I graduated my ADN last December (Yay!!!)
I submitted my university applications (UGH!)
I submitted my licensure exam applications (*flat* Wooo~~)
Christmas came~ (Merry Christmas!!!)
New year came~ (Happy New Year!!!)
Classes started again... (*another flat* wooo~~~)
And yea in the middle of all that, I bought a new laptop with the help of my Onigiri friends, especially Aru who found the laptop for me xD
Bought a brand new (I think) Acer 5552-7677 from Amazon. At first, I didn't receive the first shipment that gave me a fright. Fine, I panicked because I thought I might not get my item when I paid for it. Called support and now I have *dundundun* Ryuutaros (named after the Imagin in Kamen Rider Den-O, hehehe, Kotae wa kiitenai~)
Now after having Ryuu for 3 weeks, I'm starting to notice something wonky about the audio. Okay, I know that the vid & sound card isn't the best.  I'm not asking for it atm but the thing is that when I play my music (mp3 format) and play some YT vids, I'm hearing extra noises. If you ever played a music cd and while playing it, the music suddenly jumped, it's something like that.
Like I said, I'm not expecting the best out of the model & what I've paid for it but I'm not expecting any defects either. I've contacted Acer support and I've been advised to reinstall the sound driver.
So far, I haven't heard it when I play my mp3's but have caught it while playing YT vids. I don't have any problems playing avi & mp4 though.
*sighs* And I really should get rid of this manana habit. But then I usually end up telling myself, I'll do it tomorrow. LOL! My math professor would probably shake his head and shout, "TODAY!!!"
Bah if later is today, then I'll do it later. LMFAO... I'm go gonna be dead.
