Gone so long

Today at some point after I began recovering from exam number 2 I realized I haven't posted anything for a long time. So here it is, a new post. Only I don't really have anything to say because I'm in the middle of finals so there hasn't been a lot of stuff happening.

But... 2 down, 3 to go. Well 2 to go actually... for my US law class I have to write a paper next week after final number 3. As of April 27 though I'm free like bird... aaaand I STILL have no prospects for summer employment. But that is OK because I have some ideas coming together. None of which will generate revenue, but at least I'll have something to do. More on that later.

I bought a new computer. Last Saturday. My laptop problem, which I talked about in my last post, got REAL bad to the point where it would switch to battery power every 30 seconds and it was getting so I almost couldn't get it to switch back to AC in time. And when I say "in time," I mean the 6 minutes of battery power I have before the whole thing dies.

So I just up and bought a new desktop computer. I thought about buying a mac (Ryan) but didn't quite make the jump this time. Mostly because I networked the main computer and laptop so I figured it might cause some problems if one was a mac and one wasn't. And since I bought the new computer, I haven't had a problem with the laptop. Of course, I haven't tried to move the laptop. And because the main point of having a laptop is mobility, I'm going to get it fixed after finals. If they ever end...

Ok enough about that. Need sleep....

April is evil... and so is my laptop

If March of the November of spring, April is definitely the December of spring. Here's what I've got to look forward to:

One week of classes
One US law memo
Secured trans final
Commercial trans final
Civil lit final
Corps final

After that I've got four months of freedom before it all starts back up again in September. So what am I going to do? Well, according to the votes in the comment section... um... which would be a grand total of one (thanks Matt)... I'm going to be a mime. So look for me down at Granville Island this summer doing the mime in a glass box thing. Or something like that...

By the way, my laptop has decided it's time for another cash injection. For some reason, about every 20 minutes, it switches from AC power to battery power. The battery depletes and then it hibernates. If I notice in time, I can unplug the power cord from the back of the laptop and plug it back in - then it switches back to AC power. But the thing is, I have to notice quick because it takes about 4 minutes for my battery to go from 100 percent to nothing. That's right. 4 minutes. No exaggeration. So it looks like I need a new power cord and a new battery.

Happily though, tonight the clocks go ahead one hour. So we're losing an hour of sleep tonight? Who cares. It's not going to get dark until 8pm tomorrow night and it only gets better from there. I'm just waiting for summer... and daylight savings time means it's almost here.
