week in a flash (week 24)

1. Soooo…who forgot about Daylight Savings Time?  I didn’t (yaaaa) but that’s only because my phone automatically updates the time lol!

2. Still tired.

3. My computer is officially dying.  I can’t open more than one Internet window, I can do tabs but even then when I try to close the Internet browser I get the little box that says Internet Explorer has stopped working.  Windows is looking for a solution. Followed by Internet Explorer is restarting.  And if I try to ‘cancel’ the second box it just sits there with a blank webpage and a little hourglass and even starting task manager and hitting “end task” a jillion times does nothing.  Basically I have to let it restart and then I can close it because when I do that I get a little information box that informs me that something went wrong with the program and it will now close…………no?!?!?!?  Really???  Because I totally couldn’t tell!!  Also Microsoft Word has started doing funky things too, and Facebook does weird things and wordpress…what else…oh yeah I went through and cleaned out what I could from my C: drive but it randomly changes on how much space I have left going up and down, up and down, up and down.  *So I ran my antivirus and antispyware deepscans and Big Fat NOTHING, that’s right no viruses or anything else*  This sucks!

4. On that note – I moved what I could off the computer and on to a couple of thumb drives so I don’t lose anything.

5. Wi-Fi also sucks, still randomly disconnecting and having connectivity issues but I’ve noticed that it seems to stay connected longer and work better when the ‘signal strength’ is between ‘poor’ and ‘good’ but if it moves up to ‘really good’ or ‘excellent’ that’s when it really starts acting up.  Wierd.

6. Days to graduation = 26 w/o holidays and weekends

w/ holidays and weekends = 39

w/o holidays = 34

7. Days to Thanksgiving break when I can go home and see my family and my cat = 16

8. One of my plants bit the dust but my bamboo sprouted a new…stalk? branch?  I’m not sure what to call it but it is new growth which is soo cool!

9. Hey it’s my Mom’s (aka purple dragon lady) b-day today!  Hippo Birdies Mom!!!

10. Do you know what else I get to see on my Thanksgiving break?  The new Harry Potter movie!!

11. A lot on my mind…mostly that I miss writing my longer, more in-depth blog posts (because I have a few things on my mind that would work better that way but I just don’t have the time) and my stories…but I’m thinking that even when I’m out of school I’ll keep this ‘week-in-a-flash’ thing up but it’ll be more like a placeholder for a certain day than anything else……

12. The town I currently live in is so odd, it’s a college town but it pretty much closes down at around 9 or 10 pm and I mean streets empty, stores and restaurants closed even places like Perkins which is usually open 24 hours…in fact the only thing that stays the same is Wal-Mart because it’s Wal-Mart.

week in a flash (week 21)

1. We have a slight invasion of box-elder bugs here at the hotel and every morning I can hear my landlord walking around the complex killing them with a fly-swatter…I think the bugs are winning the war

2. The other day I went to log in to wordpress and I accidentally misspelled my username as “gothiqued,” I’m thinking there’s some significance there, so what do you think the definition of “gothiqued” is?  I haven’t decided yet, I’ll let you know when I figure it out in the meantime feel free to toss me a few definitions.  :D

3. Leaving for Denver on Thursday with the PRSSA club on campus and I’m excited but at the same time I kind of wish that I could go solo in my own vehicle and stay there all weekend…oh well, I’m sure I’ll have fun anyway!!

4. Been eating Pork and Chicken Eggrolls and Cheese Wontons this week…Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!  I’m becoming corrupted, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

5. Days to graduation = 41

6. In reference to the above – it hit me the other day that by the end of the month I’ll have a little over a month before I’ll be a graduate and then it occurred to me that by Thanksgiving it’ll be just a few weeks and I’ll be done with school…I think I’ve moved past the excited stage and am now in the freakout stage…

7. I miss writing stories…  :(

8. Hell week(s) continue

9. I just learned that Yellowcard is going to come out with a new CD, eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was apparently wrong when I said a few months ago that they were broken up and I couldn’t be happier… you know, about being wrong??!!

10. tired, tired, tired…

11. One of my plants is in the final throes of death…poor thing  :(
