So, my computer is still sort of broken. I thought that the power source was the issue so I ordered a new one (60$!!) and once it arrived found that it was actually the connection inside the computer that was the issue. So, just like
last year, my computer will most likely be out of commission over break. Unless I decided to ignore the problem all together and jimmy-rig the power source so that it works which will probably do more bad than good. Sigh.
In happier news: all that stand between me and Christmas Vacation is 4 math classes, 1 math final, 3 CIS classes, 1 power point presentation, 1 art class, 1 art presentation, 1 sketchbook completion, and 1 film final. Which, now that I write it all out, sounds like a lot more than I had expected. Woe.
The only class I'm a little sad is ending is my design class. Because, lets face it, my instructor is a hottie and, unless by some miraculous twist of good fortune I am able to get a job in the design industry, I'll probably never see him again. Save for stalking in Portsmouth. Which I would never do...
I've been getting kind of antsy about being so unproductive when it comes to graphic design lately. I haven't opened up any editing programs in months and it's starting to make me kind of sad. I think the real problem is that I don't have anywhere comfortable to work. Last year, the height of my icon-making extravaganza, I had a comfy desk and lots of space and lots of time and now I have a cramped room and an uncomfortable desk and nowhere to put a mouse pad. Not to mention all I have time for is sleeping, school, and work. I don't even have the weekends to myself for the next few weeks because of family stuff and holidays.
You'd think with all this working and being too busy to really have any fun I'd have some extra money to show for it. Not so much. Christmas shopping & Rent pretty much wiped me out. Got the dad some Armani cologne (which came with deoderant and a fancy bag), the brother a T-shirt, hat and a button, and the mom a nice bathrobe. My sister is getting fruit which is something she'll appreciate more than other things even though it sounds really lame. I got stuff for Jenna too, but I'm not tellin'.
I feel so pressed for time and so lacking in control that I want to grab the world by the shoulders and shake it.
Sigh.
