To Whomever It May Concern,

As a result of spending all summer at Jesse's house and working at Publix 30-39.5 hours a week, summer wasn't quite as fabulous as I expected. I managed to enjoy myself nontheless, but I wasn't as productive as I had planned on being. I managed to build a debt with my dad from borrowing a bunch of money from him to pay the rent I couldn't pay at the beginning of the summer. I hardly touched my paintings as soon as I was at Jesse's, so I still have my snake and fish painting to do, not to mention the canvas I have to finish for my sister. I didn't make any metal club t-shirt sketches, nor did I complete any drawings all summer. And I hardly got any reading done, although I did come home with a LOT more books than I left with, so there is reading material aplenty.... the issue is that I don't have time anymore to read it all. I didn't get ahead on my DEP 2004 reading, and I didn't get my books til... well my last book came in the mail Wednesday so, yeah.

I played plenty of WoW tho....

And since I wasn't home, I didn't get to visit the fitness center as often as I expected I would. I did, however, ride my bike to and from work every day, so it's not like I got fat playing WoW.

I am currently stressing over the status of my computer. It turns out, though Ryan claimed he was unable to put Windows on my old "burnt out" hard drive, Jesse was able to put Linux on it just fine, which leads Jesse to believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my hard drive and Windows will function perfectly fine on my old laptop. So right now I'm under the impression that I've been had. A lot of computer drama, and I still don't really know what's going on. All I know is that when Jesse received my laptop from Ryan, he was unable to connect to the wireless, which means my laptop came back in WORSE condition than when I gave it to Ryan. All it was doing when I gave it to him was it was shutting off occassionally when it overheated. I NEVER got the message "HARD DRIVE NOT FOUND" or anything like that, and my wireless card was working PERFECTLY FINE before.

$70 on a new hard drive, $110 for labor, and I can have Linux running on my "burnt out" hard drive.

Drama, drama, drama...

Besides that, classes are going great so far. I'm a little frustrated that I can't do my classwork on my laptop because I do not HAVE my laptop, but I just have to be patient. I'm even more frustrated that I have to wait forever in the library in line behind DOZENS of people who are checking their fucking MYSPACE in order to use a SCHOOL COMPUTER, but then again that will also be remedied with time, when I get my fucking laptop back.

Fucking technology.
