tribute to my laptop
It's one of those rare occasions where you don't appreciate what you have... until you get it back improved. I wasn't missing my laptop particularly badly while it was gone, but now that it's returned to me, I don't know how I lived without it. Yes, using Eugene's laptop for the past two days was nice, but it just doesn't compare to the way the keys on my laptop actually give way with the slightest touch. And yes, I could bear going to the computer lab, but it's so much nicer being able to play music off Ruckus instead of Seeqpod.
It helps that HP didn't reformat my harddrive, so everything is just how I remembered it :) Except better! Because my computer has been on for the past several hours, and it's not even close to burning (which almost sucks because I'm kinda cold and I used to be able to use my laptop fan to warm my frostbitten fingers)! And when I put my SD card into the SD card reader, it works! Not only these things, but the fact that it turns on at all! And HP gave me a brand new display soo no more ugly scratches on the pretty casing (at least on top).
Anyway, such a tribute was long overdue, considering the constant abuse I put my laptop through. Now if it ever doubts that I love it, it can just refer to this livejournal entry and rid itself of all uncertainty. <3 Although, I've yet to see if the wireless card will stand up to the challenge of multiple restarts... and if it doesn't, my love may wane the slightest bit.
Completely unrelatedly (so much so that it should probably be a separate post), man the next week is totally going to fuck me over. I studied ochem for several hours yesterday and I was quite proud of myself, but now I'm beginning to doubt how much I actually retained from that. And it's really disheartening. On the other hand, I just need to get a 50% on this to maintain the C I want to get... that should take some pressure off, but unfortunately it kindof doesn't. :P Then once I'm done with that, I need to uber cram for Life Science as well, because I still have hope that I can get a B+ or A- in that class. And then I also need to study for psych 'cause ... I'm pretty confident that I'll get an A in that class, but if I don't, it would just be depressing. Oh, and at some point on Sunday I have to spend some time revising my GE paper. And among all that, I need to figure out a time to pack.
On the upside, in a week from the end of today, I'll be done with everything, and I'll be seeing both Steven and Shirine <3 So it will all be worth it. xD And... my plan for the week before I go to Texas is basically to be nonstop hanging out with Steven / Shirine / Bojana and Marcus, and occasionally Jaqui if I can (we're so getting / making dinner one night at least, right? >O). So yeah, watch out, guys. :P (I think the person least expecting this is probably Shirine) I also want to go to an aquarium! And the pool. Or the beach. A lot. >.>
Anyway, I'm done. Finally. :D; I'll maybe study a bit more and then go to sleep. Whoo!
