:(
Moments after I posted the last entry, I decided to save my monitor. I used to have a display driver problem last year, and after some trial and error I managed to salvage it. Almost lost my computer at that point of time. Thank goodness it was saved, just that I had to live with improper settings. Now I downloaded a "new" driver, installed it, after restarting, WHAM! Can't load the desktop, so ok, safe-mode it few times. Finally got it and quickly decided to uninstall it, but NEVER did I once realised that the uninstall option includes ALL drivers uninstalled, even the incorrect previous setting! So now I CANNOT for the love of life view anything after scandisk or running safe-mode. It doesn't come up to the desktop page but I can hear that Windows music whenever it's loaded to the desktop and all. :( Been spending like 5 hours on it, on-and-off. This is so tiring, and I am so rushing against one deadline TOMORROW.
Decided to reformat it, but lack of the most important RECOVERY DISC!!! WTH la!!! Only have disc 1, wonder where did disc 2 go. I guess I shall call up Acer tomorrow to see if they can send the disc or not :(. Even though years of favourite stuff will be gone, I am actually not that panicky. If this were to take place few years back, I would be crying like mad. I couldn't figure out why though, just that I only know I was pretty calm about it, despite trying to salvage it as much as I could and lamenting my eagerness and silliness to "salvage" the flickering pain-in-the-eye display screen. I'm sure there are ways to get back the things I've lost (at least I've backed up really important ones already, but not for the recent months :( ). But WOE my past assignments!! AND NOTES!! GOODNESS!! Oh well, I'll just have to loose all those assignment "templates" and work it over again. It's ok, life is more than just all these things. I've been through worse times anyway, I think. I guess if it's something to do with my work and students, THEN I'll really panic!!
Or perhaps I know that I can use my bro's laptop to work. Really thank you SO much bro! I feel so bad to take up your leisure time, but I'm getting things for him anyway (before knowing this thing will happen), so I guess this even things out. Lol!
Just wish I hadn't done all these during such a crucial time. But my eyes really hurt when I was staring at the screen just now.
Anyway, gonna have to work through the night. I can do it! I HAVE to do it!! Lotsa coffee for tomorrow because there's an official opening showcase of something related to my work and it's a privilge for me to attend, and a lecture by Dr. Dean Carter in the evening. I think I shall have to change one student's teaching time, otherwise I don't know if I can take it or not. Or perhaps will be like 4 months back, surviving on one hour of sleep??? Sigh..
