This week has been pretty shitty on the technology front.
So my brand new laptop shat out. Six months old and it's like "fuuuuuck you". Unacceptable.
Of course, it's covered under warranty so it's not that big of a deal, I just have to send it in. Of course, windows SWEARS the hard drive is shitting out, which is making me worry, since that means I may lose all my data. Again. Buttrape. And if I send it in to dell and it really IS that, well then, I'm guarenteed to lose it. And maybe I'll get arrested.
What makes me lol is there is NO WAY it's the hard drive, we've pretty much narrowed it down to the display, but Dell is retarded and will replace it anyways because Windows is like "loooooool". Now my friend and I are just trying to get it to work long enough to extract the data I need.
By shaking it.
Computer science majors are awesome.
And now a ghost story...
What prompted me buying my latest laptop was the fact that I spilled tea all over my old one. I thought I fried the motherboard at least, the thing wouldn't even fucking turn on. So it's been sitting in my closet for six months, waiting for me to get off my ass and pull the hard drive out so I could send it off for recycling.
Well, since Tony was here I thought "Hey, maybe we could do that now!" and he was just like "Oh yeah no problem."
But before we savagely pulled the brain from the seemingly-lifeless carcass of my former love, I thought "Hm, wouldn't it be funny if it turned on?"
So I plugged in the adapter.
and it turned on.
I am definately feeling the difference between four and two gigs of memory (technically 3.5 and 1.5, but lets not get into semantics). You can tell the old girl is struggling a little. But for now she works, and fuck, that means I get a second laptop. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.
And this one definately has its merits. Nice wide screen, so I can watch all kinds of movies on it. I may even use it for photoshop. My other laptop is TINY so I can take it to class and such so I've been struggling to use it for that. Hm
On the classes front:
I raped English to the point where I don't even need to take the final for an A. (Then again the final is only 10% of the grade...)
I also pretty much raped Russian, but I can't get out of the final. It's on Thursday.
LGBT STUDIES. |: I've done ONE thing for a grade (and got an A!) but I'm pretty sure I'm fucked for the rest of it.
