It only gets worse from there. Though, keep at it, and you'll be able to afford any Mac you want and a lot more "grown up" toys.
Just a helpful hint on the paper...
As long as you don't start an "About Me" essay with, "Hi, my name is (fill in the blank)" you should make an A.
Because I can almost promise that your teacher will get at least 20 papers with that being the first sentence.
haha yea, i am going to go with something along the lines of
"i never realized this much about my life until i wrote it down"
"I am the coolest in the world, and after reading this you will think so two"
what one?
<snip image>
Current set-up....
Cleaned up for the picture of course
where'd you get that mousepad?
That my friend, was an eBay purchase...I recently tried finding the seller because I wanted to get another one, but he disappeared. Searching on the Bay should find you something...
Why not both?
"I don't think I have ever realized everything about myself until I took a few hours to sit down and write an 'About Me' essay for my class. Though not to sound like I love myself to much; I believe I am the most interesting human in the world (or at least in this surrounding area), and after reading this, I think you will too."
Starting off a essay with a little humor always helps the teacher get "into" the story itself.
Good luck.
EDIT:
Also, make use of spell check, and have an adult proof read it a few times before turning it in.
messy but at least i shoveled all the DV cassettes and CF cards out of the way
Sony Laptop: casual use, replaced by MB
HP Tower: Apache web server and FTP server... work in progress
MacBook: all design, photo/video editing (will hook up to larger monitor), and everything else.

I like the whole dual-laptop.. it'd be better if it were one 12" PB and a 17" MBP. But it's a cool idea.
Off topic; My second 30" just arrived at my dad's work, he comes home in... an hour and a half!

Ew. Was about to post my new setup, and now I don't have enough power sockets to plug in the new monitor. Going to get some within an hour. Uhhh! I guess I'll clean my room so it looks nice and shiny for some pics
recording area (entertainment too)
This is just the front of my setup.. behind the couch facing the screen are 2 floor standing polk speakers and a samsung 226bw. I use this area for audio recording and playback. When the guys come over we use the closet which has been aided by acoustic foam to record. I plan to put in bass traps and acoustic foam in this room when I get more money.

Woo-hoo! My setup has updated quite a bit in the last couple weeks since moving to my dorm.
I guess our school got a good deal from Apple on the last rev of the iMacs, and so while I really (really) wanted the new iMac with the 8800 card, I was able to snag the last rev's top of the line 2.8Ghz iMac brand new for only $1200.
I just could not justify saving up for another couple months and spending nearly a grand more for what amounts to a $75 upgrade in the video card. With the money I saved I could buy more games for my X360, maybe save up and build a cheap gaming rig, or more than likely hold onto it and enjoy keeping some cash in my pocket (Besides, I have bills and payments to make, anyway...)
So, here we have it, my completely re-done setup!
24" iMac- 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo "Extreme Edition," ATI 2600 Pro, 500GB, 2GB
13.3" Macbook- 2Ghz Core Duo, 160GB, 2GB
24" Dell E248WFP
500GB External Drive, random HP printer, Wave Keyboard & G9 mouse, and a Bamboo Fun tablet.
I'm in computing bliss!
