I hate computer viruses!!!!!
I am so enraged at my computer right now. Yesterday I inadvertently picked up a massive computer virus while searching for a free registration key for a game I was playing (the highly addictive Diner Dash). So, granted I wasn't exactly looking for something that was totally legal, but in my defense I never actually found what I was looking for before all of these random pop ups starting showing up on my screen. So now, twenty virus scans later, I've got over 400 infected files on my computer with multiple virus types. Stress!!!!!
Thankfully I've got a loving, level-headed and entirely wonderful computer genius at my disposal - and I've put my computer in his trusting hands to bring back to life. And as another bonus, I can use his old lappy to feed my computer addiction (this would be what I am using to write this very message). But without the conveniences of my own computer, I'm short on things to do, and so a half-vent lj update seems fitting.
If you're religious, pray for my poor computer. If you're not, curse those bastards who set this plague upon my poor computer.
In other news, being out of full-time school has been relaxing, although I have found several projects to occupy myself. I'm reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (although I'm almost done the fourth of five books, so I'm going to have to start looking for my next novel soon...) Its a really interesting story, soooooo creative. I highly recommend it. Also, I'm arranging a rare song by Evanescence, called "You", on piano. (It's the kind of song that works really well at weddings - very sentimental) I can't find the sheet music for it anywhere, so I'm writing it out by ear from the recorded version. It's a challenging project, but really fun to do! And so far it's sounding really good! And I've already got two editors lined up to go over it, so it will definitely be a good final product.
Besides that, I'm spending time playing games on Pogo.com (although I try to avoid excessive gameplay, because it's not a productive as other things I could be doing) and playing with my new cell phone! It's so pretty! Oh, and if I haven't given u the number yet, message me!
Graduation is less than a month away, and I'm not sure whether to be excited or dreading the day. I got a pretty new dress for the occasion, but my parents, grandfather, and his wife are coming to town for the ceremony, which is less exciting. I haven't seen my grandfather since I was about 16, but I don't remember him being the most pleasant person in the world. And you all know about the horrors of my parents... they're a lot to take.
And finally, there's the big question looming of what to do with the rest of my life. Seeing as I didn't get into the grad school programs that I wanted to, I'm left with a big gaping hole in time... I have a few options, such as working for a year and applying to a different program for the following fall (this time for a masters in counselling psychology), or just trying to find a decent career with what I have so far. And then Chris and I have to decide where we want to live after he finishes school.... there's no easy answer to that. But I keep telling myself that I have a good 3 and a half months or so to work that one out, so there's no need to stress yet.
Ok enough rambling for now...
