Last exam as an undergrad...

I've been waiting for this moment for such a long time. At one point I didn't think I would make it. Actually at many points in time I thought about throwing in the towel. But whether it be divine intervention, people who never gave up on me, or absolute stubbornness (I consider a mixture of the three), I've made it to the final paragraph of the final chapter of the unabridged novel that has been my college life. I'm so excited right now, but pretty contained at the moment, I'm trying to stay calm for this final exam, making sure not to freak out beforehand. I'll save that for when I actually get the test. Maybe I'll just skip the whole nervous part altogether. Well, just wanted to get this post out of the way before I head towards my destiny.


T minus 49 minutes.

Calvin - Laptop = Sad Panda.

Well, my laptop is off to HP to get repaired. It took me some time to actually send it off because I didn't want to let it go. There is a strong chance that I will be without it for up to two weeks, so I'm pretty bummed about it. I thought I'd be alright since I have my mother's desktop to keep me from going completely insane, but not the case as it turns out. Her computer is slow as FUCK. It has a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. The processor is registering at 994 MHz. I knew I wouldn't be able to do any sort of graphics work on it, which I can live with, but Reason keeps crashing on it, and it's pissing me off. So no music creation for two weeks, which puts a damper on my plan to finish a couple of songs I was working on before the year was out. What sucks even more is the fact that I came up with 4 ideas for songs this week alone. No idea what I'm going to do about that.

But in the meantime I can do other stuff, like actually work towards finishing the typography book I started reading so long ago. And then I can begin reading the typography book and CJ let me borrow. CJ also let me borrow his copy of "The Watchmen" graphic novel. I can read those in the meantime. And also concentrate more on my math class! I'm almost done with it! Only two more classes and the final on the 22nd to go! W00t! But in the meantime I'll make do with this computer...maybe I'll be able to fix it and get Reason to work! One can dream....
