Well I am quite perturbed. My computer failed me last week. I found out after returning home from class on Friday and attempted to open my e-mail at which point it freaked out and shutdown. I then, started it again and it basically ran through a highly irratating theme of starting up with the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen, to a black screen of white writing (I refer to this as the 'Black and White Screen of Death), followed by a list of start-up options all of which ELICITED ZERO RESPONSE FROM THE MACHINE. So, after much frustration and THANKING GOODNESS that this castastrophe occured AFTER my 8 page paper for Linguistics was due, i took it back to 310 Geek where we brought it the last time it crashed on me 2 years prior. BUT NO MORE!!. .LOL.. But, sadly it really this sitch cannot be classfied as the typical 'LOL' since there was not so much laughing but tears, many, many tears - TOL :'(. Yesterday, I paid $200 to get it fixed and today discovered to my horror and dismay that PRACTICALLY NOTHING IS ON THERE ANYMORE!!!!! When we went to pick it up, we were told that there was PARTIAL success in retrieving information from my Hard Drive INCLUDING my GMAC work from ths semester. What BULLSHIT!! Umm PARTIAL is the absolute key word there as I would assume it would retain all the relevant items such as what I noted above, my GMAC files, my pictures and my *sob* beloved, treasured music but NO NO not at all what it does retain are stupid, insignificant surveys that if or when I fill out I save in Notepad first, or even when I type in this I save those to Notepad also THAT IS WHAT IT KEPT! And MSN conversations from like 2007! Like I give a fuck about those!!! GARRRARRRGGHH! I'm mostly pissed off because I had to re-do an entire assignment due to this incredibly major setback, which I've had done for 3 whole weeks now like BEFORE it was even assigned to us and I have limited motivation to REPEAT assignments or reduplicate anything for that matter. OH THE RAAAAGGGEEEEEEE.
On a side, happy note. . Myself and some of the girls from my program gathered last night and immensely enjoyed an evening of Ugly Sweaters, Pizza, Strawberry Daiquiri's and much much hilarity! It was good times! :D . . Made me realize that after the same damn 8, long years maybe, just maybe I've found some decent people whom can actually commit to a friendship. Just a suggestion, throwing it out there just like you've apparently thrown in the towel. Ironic? Well, the thrilling components of irony are like a drug to me as is being genuine to people who treat me like the ruptured street soul . .
I can't wait for Christmas. . the way it always was. . the way it always should be. . back home in my actual hometown, the place where I grew up. It has been 8, long years since I've been at that blessed Christmas table and I can HARDLY WAIT. . I'm SO excited - I'm even too excited since I keep thinking about that glorious occasion and NOT studying for the disturbing amount of Finals I have steadily approaching next week. Oh, what a wretched, massacre of a week that will be. . Placing all wishes, bets and hopes on my exceptionally high (yes, I can achieve substantial grades, which may come as a shock to most of you but it is true) previous assignments and papers since exams RUIN ME! :( I plan to obliterate them ALL.
Well, back to studying *groaaaan*
