I had decided to switch to Linux a few weeks ago but I knew it would not be until I had completed all my school related work so I can get my degree.  In the meantime, I had planned on continuing to test Ubuntu on a virtual machine.  As days passed however, I found myself rarely opening the virtual machine, old habits die hard.  This occurred to me because I was thinking of what to put on my final blog post and I did not get any ideas.  I have to begin organizing my files and storing them on the cloud so I can format my hard drive and begin anew with a dual boot setup.  I guess I was in denial to a certain extent because the virtual machine had this occasional lag that I would rather do without, and I did, by using Windows instead.
