Computer Woes

January 2nd, 2006 · No Comments

Well, I contacted Dell via their customer chat option. It took a while, but was preferable to speaking over the phone with someone whose English is limited, which I’m sure is just as frustrating for them as it is for me. In any case, I was finally able to convince them that the cords were […]

Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2006 · No Comments

My laptop’s power cord has apparently gone kaput, so I’m back to using my ancient desktop (it’s six years old now, that’s like 87 in computer years). I’ll have to call Dell tomorrow about getting a replacement, and it should be under warranty. Since I plan on spending a goodly amount of time on my […]

So guess what we’re doing for New Year’s Eve? Watching The Lord of the Rings. All of it. The Extended Editions. I love my family.

I think holidays agree with me.

December 30th, 2005 · No Comments

I love not having to do anything in particular at any particular time. It’s great. I’ve spent mucho time at the Quill, stayed up late and slept in, gone shopping (I got two new pairs of boots! Yay!), met up with my fellow SQUtah Quillers, locked my keys in the trunk at said summit and […]

Whee! Christmas!

December 27th, 2005 · 1 Comment

Did you know that Christmas break is seriously one of the best time of the year? It’s not just the good food and the presents and the family– it’s the time off! Three whole weeks, this time. Yay! The presents were good. I got a new bow for my violin (I used to play the […]

In the past week, I have written 33 pages worth of papers– research papers, response papers, research proposal papers, annotated bibliographies, the works.

Ick.

December 1st, 2005 · 1 Comment

Have been sick the past few days. Skipped work and school. It hasn’t really been *terrible*, but bad enough that the thought of trying to concentrate on either editing or school work made me want to lose my lunch. Or perhaps that was all just the sickness. Anyway. It hasn’t helped that I kind of […]

Movies!!

October 14th, 2005 · Comments Off

Went with my sisters and their friend to see Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit tonight. Dude. So. Funny. I haven’t laughed that hard in the theatre since we saw Finding Nemo in Orlando and I was almost on the floor at the whale-speak part. I’m still giggling over a few parts. I […]

Whee!

I officially have one signature out of six on my prospectus, and have made the necessary changes he recommended. The second is promised, I just need to get it tomorrow. I still have to pitch the idea to the prof I want to be my second reader–he’s got office hours tomorrow, so I can ambush […]

It’s fall.

October 4th, 2005 · Comments Off

When did it turn into fall? This is bad. Not that I don’t like fall– I do. I just have too much I was supposed to do this summer. Now I’m scrambling at the last minute. I know, I know. What else is new? I’d like it better, though, if it was a nice fall. […]
