It's aliiiiiive.
'It,' of course, being my laptop. I missed Dave. I don't know how he did it, but the computer guy magically found the things he needed to put on my computer (I kind of question how legal any of it was, but the I think the end justifies the means in this case) and it's healed and happy. :) I need to find some new anti-virus stuff. Things. Anyone know where to get free things off the internet for Mozilla Firefox? Virus scan... that LJ journal thing where you can change journal names in the lower right corner? Shh, I know I'm impaired where computers are concerned.
I have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't exactly started due to--well, I don't suppose I have any great reasons for putting it off, but I do have some. What matters is that it'll be turned in on time. Other than that, though, I'm slightly more on top of homework than usual. Not having ready internet access seriously limited the range of activities I could engage in on campus. XD
Still, I think it will be a miracle if I get through the semester without a meltdown.
I'm going to stay low tonight and most of tomorrow to do more school things, but after that I should be around and irritating everyone about as much as usual. Delaying the return to Poly for now. It doesn't seem as inviting with a couple of friends gone (although don't feel like you need to feel guilty about dropping--I think it's admirable that you can pull yourselves away). I hope y'all won't be bothered about any Poly blather that makes its way here.
On the subject of Poly, though... fwah. Toying with the idea of dropping (so nothing new there) in an attempt to eliminate some distractions, but I'm really attached to some character relationships and--yes. But I can't help but feel bad for just barely making activity the last few months. I think I would drop if anyone expressed an interest in either character.
No earth-shattering decisions now. Paper to write, classes to recover from. I don't know why I keep registering for a full load of difficult classes every single semester. Academic masochism? A desire to prove myself (even though I've come to realize that grades, in the grand scheme of things, don't matter)?
Anyway. I'm very glad to have the computer back, and I still adore all of you. Will return to stalking the flist properly soon! <3
