soooooo after dealing with various issues with my laptop - namely the trackpad dying and both the USB ports rapidly failing - I replaced it. I'm really upset because I actually invested in a really good laptop for once, something I hadn't been able to do before, and I feel like it just blew up in my face. I got less time from it than my past two, so like.....go fuck myself I guess?????

Anyway!!!! First thing I did was "downgrade" to Windows 10, because I am not dealing with all the bullshit of 11. I'll stubbornly use 10 for as long as possible (much like how I only upgrade my desktop from 7 to 10 a few months ago), and they'll pry it from my cold, dead hands XD I'm also very excited to have a touch screen again, which is one of the things I sacrificed for a "better" machine last time. NEVER AGAIN.

Today is gonna be a lot of transferring data and installing software, which I feel like I just fucking did when I rebuilt my desktop recently, but whatever. Worth it for the upgrade. It's also nice to have a bigger hard drive in this thing~~ And since it's a slightly bigger laptop, the keyboard is already more comfortable :D

ALSO!!!!!!!!! We got a 3D printer!!!!!!!!!! arahith and I should never be trusted in Micro Center alone, because we always end up spending way too much.............BUT IT'S EXCITING. We've wanted a 3D printer for awhile and there was a decent sale and we were already spending a lot of money...totally worth it XD The first test print is going right now and I can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still fairly sick btw, but finally well enough to leave the house for brief periods. FINGERS CROSSED it all clears up before classes start next week ;w; I am not looking forward to starting the semester sick.

Morning update: after restarting my laptop, the trackpad works. THANKFULLY. I thought it might help, but I didn't feel like trying at 2 am; I just wanted to go to bed. So, yay! Problem solved :D

uhhhhhh my back still hurts from sleeping like crap so I guess you win some, you lose some.

I'm sick.

It's some sort of terrible death thing in my throat. I can't breathe or swallow and life hurts

ughhhhhh.

I had a very wonderful day on Sunday, but I'm too miserable to go on about it. Right now I'm drowning my sorrows and misery in Photoshop, my lover ♥ I've gone icon making crazy.

Also suffering through work at Subway when I'm this sick makes me want to just curl up and die, fyi.

OH. And my laptop randomly uninstalled half the software I just installed. wtf. I spent a good hour trying to figure out everything it had randomly deleted >_

My parents sent me a Halloween present :D I was really surprised by it and I love everything loads :D I even took pictures, which are under the cut :3

Today has been decent so far. I slept through my first class D: I have no idea how it happened, I woke up at 8:30 today. I guess I just rolled over and went back to bed or something...anyway. I made it to the rest of my classes though, which is good.

Also, after psych I went to lunch with Cait. ahhh such good food. I had corn fritters and a provolone, turkey, and pesto panini. I love my school food... Anyway, she had art after that, so I walked with and then went to the library. The campus cat was sitting outside playing with someone, which was adorable ♥ I love the kitty...it's just a stray that lives on campus, but it is so cute and I want my own...

( onwards to pictures!!!! )

All in all, today isn't too bad. I did find out that the serial number that I gave the police is the wrong one, so I have to call them AGAIN and get that straightened out D: UGH. I am so tired of dealing with the police...

I am back in school! I can't believe it's my senior year :O Honestly, it's just so surprising to me. I got my LJ back when I was in 8th grade...and now I'm going to graduate this year. Crazy.

Of course, this also means that I have a nice laptop again. Ugly as anything, but it's still nice and I have one with me alllll the time now :D

Righty-o, so I'm supposed to be listening to this super-speshul college meeting for seniors. WHOOPS.
