And now the thing won’t even start up.

Kidding. Seriously though, I’ve spent more time talking to tech support this week than I have James or my parents. My brand new apple iMac is still playing up, having issues staying connected to the internet via the wireless internet connection. I called tech support a week ago and thought the problem was solved, but it has started up again. An hour on the phone last night, and an hour this afternoon still didn’t solve the problem - I have to call tech support back tomorrow to be walked through a MacOS reformat and harddrive scan. If the problem doesn’t fix itself after the reformat, it’s likey to be a hardware malfunction.

So disappointing! A two week old, $2000 product shouldn’t be fucking me around… *sighs*

Okay.

So I just watched Click with Adam Sandler for the first time, and I swear to god I cried sobbed like a baby through more than half of the movie. WTF.

I have a theory. Adam Sandler makes me cry.

Seriously. I’ve seen 50 first dates at least 100 times and still bawl through it.

Fuck you, Adam Sandler. Stop messing with my femaley hormones.

It seems that i’ve taken a vendetta out against myself and am trying to do damage to my body without giving it a second thought. The vommiting and headaches are gone, but I slept terribly on Saturday night, waking up with a mild backache which got progressively worse throughout the day. By the time I had to go down to work, I could barely bend over or move vigorously without getting searing pain on the lower left side of my back. It’s milodly better today, but sitting up all day in a not-so-comfortable chair to do study wasn’t the best thing I could have done for it.

Anyway, an hour before closing last night at work, I was cleaning the coffee machine as best I could - my manager wasn’t in, and nobody else had used a coffee machine before (I had used the machine a few days before for the very first time) and I must have done something wrong, because I burnt between my ring and middle fingers quite badly. I was nursing my hand with a damp, cold cloth until I fell asleep, and woke up holding it. It’s alright now, just a little bit tender. I was worried I’d have to go to the doctor with it - it seemed like it would blister, but luckilly the swelling subsided.

Oh, and when I got home I stubbed my toe.

I’m such a moron.

My first exam is on Saturday. Thankfully I don’t have so much work for it as I first thought - It’s just on two topics, and i’m almost halfway through my readings for the first topic. I’ll finish the chapter before bed tonight and get started on the rest tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be finished with Evolution by the end of tomorrow and on to Biochemistry by Wednesday. Wish me luck! I’m quite concerned about my Law in Society and Computer Science exams. I don’t think I’m going to do too well in them - I havent done any of my Law readings this semester and Computer Science well… It’s difficult. I don’t really care if I fail them, though - I’m just testing them out.

Going to get myself a bowl of cereal for desert and finish watching 50 First Dates (for like.. the 100th time. It’s such a good movie!)

I’m sick, again!

I’ve been feeling nauseous and headachey since I woke up. I woke at about 9 this morning, got a drink and then went back to bed. I proceeded to sleep until midday, when I got up for an hour before going back to bed again. When I finally managed to get up, I had a couple of Weet-bix and some neurofen — which I proceeded to throw up :(

I felt better after I went back to bed and slept for a few more hours, but I’m starting to spiral down again. I had dinner about 2 hours ago but i’m starting to feel queasy again. Hopefully I can sleep it off. :( Especially with exams only a week away, I need to be as healthy as I can.

Ew :(

… Describe and discuss the potential impact of global warming on Antarctica.

Oh, what a fun way to spend my week. I could list hundreds of potential impacts on global warming in general, but do you think I can think of an essay worth of impacts in regards to Antarctica alone? Sure, I could talk about Patagonian toothfish for the entire essay and how they won’t be able to adapt to temperature increases, but fuck, my last essay was all about Toothfish. I WANNA DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

*shakes fist*

Look’s like i’ll be reading a whole heap of scientific articles tonight just to get ideas. And a whole heap more scientific articles tomorrow just to get my facts.

And in the mean time, my apartment is still a mess, my laundry still isn’t done, my fridge is still lacking anything edible and my patience is running low. Serves me right for not doing this damn essay in the holidays, right?

In other news, I was scared out of my fucking pants this morning. The Emergency Alarm System on my level of the apartment building was turned on. Of course, they didn’t announce that it was a test and that we did not have to do anything until AFTER i’d gathered things important and packed my stuff. Since the alarm, i’ve been jumpy and nervous all day. I mean, I nearly shat myself when a cellphone went off right behind my head in a lecture. If that’s not jumpy, I don’t know what is? They really should have left us a notice in the mail or in the elevator that the alarm system would be tested this morning. At least I wouldn’t have had to scrape my stomach off the ceiling! (metaphorically speaking.)

Damn this essay. It should learn to write itself.
