Pwned You, Semester Exams!

With some long study sessions, a lot of frustration and falling asleep with socks on, it’s all over. For a couple of months at least.
I don’t have the right to complain just yet. That is, until IB2, and now that’s something.

Now I noticed that it’s pretty fashionable to say you’re going to fail, even if you’re a top student, actually, especially if you’re a top student. The funny thing is that half of those will get grades about, say, 30% better than me.
Yesterday I put my MacBook in repair. I’m a little worried that they’ll overlook the display problem though. The guy I showed it to “couldn’t see any problems.” Seriously, there’s a gigantic gray blob in the middle of the screen caused by inconsistent backlight, give me a break! They’re probably just going to overlook it.

So here I am, using some ancient machine that actually works (yeah, I kinda forgot I had it). It’s so slow that it’s much more practical to run a VNC session to my home server and work over there. Seriously. I threw out that PowerMac “Beige” I had, it was simply pissing me off, I’m talking about a different machine.
Should be getting my MacBook in about 14 days. At least that’s what they said. I hope they’re not gonna close for too long during christmas, I need that machine!

The Next Few Weeks

Exams are killing me. I can’t sleep properly, and not because I wasn’t trying. Within a week of worrying, dark circles came to be drawn around my eyes. Dreams are no longer confined to sleep, but rather surround me throughout the day. Every night I tell myself that tonight I’ll sleep just fine - and every morning, I wake up with the feeling of dehydration and wait for the whole thing to just stop.

In two weeks I’ll be sending my MacBook for repair. This discoloration certainly does not match the color of my eyes and that screen flickering is driving me nuts. So I’m going to have a hard time finding going online. I’ll probably find some trick at some point.

Basically, I won’t be around for a while. Say two or three weeks at max. I’ll try to make an occasional post, sure, but I can’t promise much.
