Attack of the lousy Internet
Lately, I've been having so much trouble with the college's internet setup that I haven't bothered to try working it out. I tried to do a little editing, and lost my internet connection...for hours. I tried to check my e-mail, and my computer froze. I tried to check my blog, and the computer ran for ten minutes without getting anywhere.
MY computer is doing fine. Granted, he's getting on in years, but he's mellowed out and we understand each other. I spend hours on my computer, off-line, doing homework. I know when he's acting up or coming down with something. Lenny (computer) is alive and kickin'. This is not his fault.
Apparently our server went down this week. I'm not surprised. It goes down and stays down, and then it comes back with more problems. The boys over at tech support must be dying or home sick or something. I'm hoping that this blog entry gets posted. I hope that I can explain to my grandmother why I haven't been answering her emails. I hope that someday, I get out of college and get a reliable, understandable internet.
In other news... My mom says we can get new kitties when I get home from college. Makes me happy. ^_^ I hope I get one a little like my buddy boy, and all new personality otherwise.
Also, on the other hand, my classes are going pretty well--though I feel like they're holding out on us still...waiting until there's no chance for us to back out before they spring the big surprises on us. "Yes, the project for this class is a 75 page paper! It'll be fun! The first half is due next week!" (class drops dead in horror)
And also, I finished a group project this week, got ahead in some of my homework, and fell a little behind in some other homework, and...
Oh yeah, I HATE MY JOB.

Well, hopefully the server will get to running normal sometime...or better than normal. It's a good thing that you've been getting ahead in a lot of your work...but I'm sorry you hate your job.

Thanks for commenting, Chimpy. My job has gotten better, and the internet seems to be fixed for the time being. Hopefully, I'll be on a lot more this week...but then again, maybe not.

Are you still at the same job as you were at the beginning of the school year? I'm sorry you're working at a place (or job) you hate. I know how rotten that feels! Give your kitties an extra cuddle when you get home. Not a cure, but a darn good emotional band-aid! :)

They changed my job situation without informing me. My job contract says they can do that, and I'm not happy about that, but it's the only way they'll accept students to work on campus...
