Bit of Ivory

Well. That was a pain. Not exceedingly difficult, but long and complicated. At least it’s over. I’m talking about my CHum final. I did alright on the Blasted Key Combinations part. It was cake, and took very little time. Then came the real meat of the final, which was impossible to study for. Our teacher […]

The above numbers may surprise you. I was surpised myself, when I walked into the computer lab last night only to find that my CHum final was not last night, but is on Wednesday instead. In some ways, this is good, in others, it is bad. Now I have to get work off. But, I […]

Okay, so here’s how it’s going to go: I have a final today at 5:45.

From being DONE with this semester! Well, done with the classes for this semester, anyway. I’ll still have to study for and take my finals. But those will be cake after this week. I never want to have a week like this again. I’ve just been getting more and more tired as the week goes […]

is not dead! I went to Murray tonight and had my dad take a look at her. Turns out that when they reconditioned her, they forgot to put the screws back in the hard drive. So it kind of just– fell off. Unfortunately, despite the myriad of screws my dad has in his office, he […]

that convince me, as Anne Shirley put it, of “the total depravity of inanimate objects.” It’s just been one thing after another. First, I missed the bus this morning, so I had to walk to school. Then after I got off work, I pulled Ginny (my laptop) out of my backpack and sat down to […]
