Worst Morning Ever
So, after night three in a row where i do not even have the opportunity to LOOK at my bed much less actually sleep because i am working on three papers all due by five tomorrow
when suddenly:
my computer freezes
hard drive crashes
cannot start up computer
cannot get on the internet or get to my papers
=> cue instant heart attack and freak out
then, however, i called a friend of mine who is wonderful and good with computers and forgives me for calling him at 6:15 in the morning
SOMEHOW, (he's not sure about how this happened either) my computer miraculously recovered and put itself back together again, stopped making funny noises and beeps, opened files, let me have access to all the files i need plus let me operate SonicNow.
Though i don't even pretend to understand it even a little bit, this cooperation lasted long enough to allow me to:
- get my papers off and email them to myself
- burn data CDs with everything i really need off of my computer (1 cd, one back up cd. just in case)
- run a virus scan (wishful thinking)
- check email.
at this point, it starts slowing down again and resuming the making of funny sick sounding noises.
While i am eternally greatful to the mechanical piece of shit for letting me have my files back, i now am going to have difficulties finishing the papers without a computer.
This had to happen in the midst of finals week.. it couldn't have waited two days??
In conclusion:
- I almost definately need a new Hard Drive, but i wont lose anything REALLY important, just all my music, which, yes, does make me sad.
- Computers are the work of the Devil.
- i am EXAUSTED and have lots more work to do.
- Papers and Exams are also the work of the Devil.
*sigh* i need to get back to work.
oh, and also, i made the mistake of looking in the mirror. with the stress, lack of sleep, and lack of nutrition, (plus the fact that i seem to have torn apart my lips so thoroughly that there is puffy dead white skin all around the inside of my mouth) i look like death.
and feel like it too.
2 more days... to get work done.
... until this fucking semester is over.
