i'd rather sleep
May. 20th, 2009 01:28 pm- I'VE DECIDED. I will purchase a new computer! It's time. I swore I could start thinking of a new one three years after getting my current one, and poor thing, it is showing signs of decay. The fan noise bothers everyone in the house, it's sloooow, and there I certain things I can't do on it, not if I don't want to have to reboot every ten (or less) minutes.
I'll be buying a new one with vidding in mind. I'd ask for advice, but I'm pretty sure what is available elsewhere might not be so available here, and there'd be significant differences in price. I feel okay about that, though. I'm having a store I trust custom-build the computer, and they'll figure out what it is I need to get what I want. :D
- Bus strike in the city yesterday and today. Classes are sort of cancelled, since so many people rely on public transportation to get here. I could skip if I like, but I'll go. I'm here anyway. (I had to go to auto-escola in the morning, and it's right next to campus.) Brownie points? I really could sleep, though. Wanna nap. >__<
- The best way to get through the hours at auto-escola, I have realized, is to ignore the teacher and/or the vids, and read the booklet they gave us. That way I get far more material than if I paid attention to her, and I save my time not having to read the booklet outside of class. What a waste of time. :P Thankfully the last class is on Friday! Later I'll take the written exam, and if I pass that, it's time to start practice driving! COOL. ...Though I'm more worried about driving than before, what with all the reminders of the gruesome that can happen in accidents. :P
- Urgh. I really can't deprive of myself of sleep. If I get less than 8 to 9 hours for more than a couple of days, it really gets to me. I hate having such a sensitive body; I'm provoked by the slightest stimulus.
