How did you spend your time waiting for your MacBook to ship?

I ordered yesterday with a frineds and family discount of 15% To do that, it has to be shipped, although an Apple Store is only 10 minutes from me.

I have to wait 2 more days. I'm close to cutting pieces of paper out in the right size as a mockup....

What did everyone do while waiting for shipping?
 
Checked FedEx tracker all the time even though I knew that wasnt going to make it come any faster.

On the estimated delivery day, I stayed cooped up in my house until it was delivered.

Then ended staying home anyways because I was playing with my new obsession. haha

Actually, mine arrive the day before scheduled. But I spent my time searching forums for tips and tricks on the new toy.
 
I didn't wait.. i ran to the closest apple store (there are 3 around me =D) and I took my brother for his edu. discount.. saved 100 bux on the 2.0ghz model
 
My education discount would have removed 100 dollars. Friends and family removed 240 dollars, but I had to wait.

I ordered more memory before I ordered the computer. Pathetic.

And the incessant refreshing of fedex is killing me. I'm glad it's FedEx though, UPS tends to rough up the packages a little more.

Mine still says its departed Lewisberry, PA.
 
One thing I did while my macbook was shipping is cleaning my room, but mostly my desk. I wanted my macbook to come in a clean home 🙂

Um, I just go about my normal routine, you know, like a normal person.
 
I ordered it, worked the rest of the day (distraction enough), went home, ate, slept, went back to work the next day and it was there for me 2 hours later.

$20 for overnight shipping was so worth it for the near immediate gratification.
 
Just mostly looked up any tips or tricks... browse through macbook threads.

Got mine from Amazon for $1150 =D
