In the last few weeks:
I went to Canada, and made myself right at home on Rochelle's couch. Her couch is comfy, her company is superb, and Canada is not nearly as cold as I was led to believe. (Also, I'm pretty sure Rochelle should be working in marketing, as she managed to make me wildly excited about hand soap, tooth paste, bad reality television, and scones. In a week! And, alright, scones. They didn't require a whole lot of selling.)
Then I came home and had a birthday. I am not a big celebrator of birthdays- I've been known to forget my own birthday from time to time, but this was nice. Mellow. My family came up to visit, and we went to the zoo. (Hyenas! Sea lions! Kangaroos!) Obviously, we can take from this that I am all about the age appropriate celebrations of my natality. I think last year I learned to bowl.
Then! MAN. I got food poisoning of death and spent three days in bed, and two days frantically trying to catch up on all the stuff I'd missed. Not so good for the stress levels. Bah. Also: humbug.
THIS weekend, the roommate's parents came up, and I participated in a wildly productive craft day (Whee!). So, at this point in my week; I have finished my hardest-class, taken my Ethology test (HOLY COW, TWENTY FIVE ESSAY QUESTIONS IN AN HOUR FIFTEEN.), mostly finished my sculpture piece for class tomorrow, half finished a book for presentation on Friday; and finally chosen a topic for my immunogentics presentation. (My papers are due Thursday.)
Remember how much fun college is?
This means that I finally have time to begin pretending to deal with my current laptop issue. My laptop is old and cranky, but it's been really remarkably good to me, considering how hard I am on it. I acknowledge and am thankfull for this, but this last week it's started doing this thing where it tries to shut the screen off. The screen is still there but illegibly dark. I can make out that what ever I was looking at is still technically there, but not, like, usable. If I leave it alone long enough, the screen will come back. It did this once at the beginning of the year, and I think it's something wrong with the video card. The fix for this is shutting the computer off, turning the thing upside down and shaking it. (I'd take computer repair more seriously if this wasn't the best solution to ninety-five percent of my problems, I tell you what.) On the other hand, the last three days I've been rebooting every hour or two, which is annoying like smooth peanut butter.
So anyway. I think Friday evening will be the evening of poking around the inside of my computer to see what happens.
Now: how are YOU doing?
