So... I hate to say it, but I think I'm going to have to count my hard drive as pretty much gone. It took my poor computer ten minutes to boot up today. Ten minutes! Though at least tech support believed me this time... even though I had to have my mom call to confirm that they were supposed to send the box to the Shoreland, since I don't live at home or have the same last name as my mom. Yay, jumping through hoops. Of course, I couldn't get through, so she couldn't confirm until she got home from work (I don't know why I didn't guess that she was at work).. so the box won't get here until Wednesday. Then it'll take them ten days to fix my computer. And when it comes back... it's going to have a new hard drive. (And goshdarnit, if they don't also fix my CD drive and wonky sound card, and whatever may or may not be wrong with the RAM, I'm going to be angry at them or something.) I hope they're amused when they see all the stickers on the back of my computer, at least. (And that's only about a third of them.)

I hereby officially apologize for any voice posts I make in the next few days because, let's face it, I'm lazy, I live 9 floors away from the computer lab, and it's lonely in here... unless there are other people... then I become paranoid about them reading over my shoulder. It's not anything people here are above. I don't like it. Plus I have a lot of homework to catch up on, and this is as good an excuse as any to actually do it.

There's a lot of stuff I did today, but I haven't the motivation to write about it right now, because I'm at my mental limit for sitting in white, air-conditioned rooms, and someone else just walked in anyway. Suffice it to say that it was not important. I went to class, I went to dinner, I fell in the law school fountain, and I saw Serenity again. (Okay, fine... the fountain was empty. But I had no idea that the sides were slippery.) There was also some random exploring done that made me wish I had my camera, and [livejournal.com profile] solitaryjane and I also crashed a giant party at the GSB. (Though in this case, crash sort of means "walked confusedly into, because I'd never seen the GSB building, and we had nothing to do for 40 minutes before the movie.")

Editness: So, apparently my hard drive is good enough at this point to deal with one Firefox window. Poor thing. But at least I don't have to die slowly in the computer lab until next week when I send it off. Ahhh. And I think my firewall isn't working... so it's probably not the greatest idea for me to be online... of course, if I catch any viruses at this point, it's not going to make a huge difference.
