Good Grief!
I guess I haven't updated in a while, huh? I could write for miles about this semester, but I'll just focus on today.
Two nights ago my computer wouldn't start up. When I finally got it to turn on, an error message would pop up and it would shut down. I thought if I let it sit for a while it might fix itself, but it didn't. I don't know why, but this put me in a bad mood all day. It shouldn't - it's just computer. I think I was frustrated by the thought that I might have had to shell out a couple hundred for a new computer. And since I've been thinking about buying a macbook lately, that couple hundred would definitely be on the high end.
I think what also made me feel bad was the fact that I watched My Super Sweet 16 today, a show full of spoiled kids. I definitely don't think I'm spoiled, but I guess I felt kind of guilty by the fact that I could go out and buy a new computer if I had to when other people don't have that luxury. Of course, it would be with a credit card, but still.
Luckily, I took some stuff apart, cleaned it a bit, and now my computer is working again.
While I'm glad it's working again - I think we are entirely too dependent on technology. A computer crashing shouldn't put someone in a bad mood.
Last night, for the first time in who knows, I sketched pictures since I couldn't go online. Maybe my time is better used offline?
In other news, I checked out the new Information Commons today. It's a nice building with a lot of cool features, but it kind of freaked me out. It doesn't feel like the Lakeshore campus. It feels like a different school. Will Loyola feel like my alma matter in 10 years? Who knows.
Oh, the jes res : /
