aideMy computer is being a supreme bitch and I don't know why. This is the third time in a week that it has just... turned off. Twice tonight. It's plugged into the wall, I checked all the connections, we're good. The battery is pretty much useless now so I took it out after the 2nd time and we'll see how we go from there. If the connection gets knocked out now, it'll shut off but I don't move the damn thing so it shouldn't be coming loose. And even if it did, a little thing should pop up that tells me I'm on batteries now, there's 5% left, etc, but it doesn't. This is very worrisome. I'm in the process of backing up all my music (videos and pictures are already done) because I don't not want to lose everything. This beast is only 2 years old, what's the fucking deal? But I guess laptop life is considerably shorter than desktops. The Staples dudes said 5 years was a long time, even for a desktop, when mine finally died in 2006. I'm scanning now, but I'm pretty sure it's not a virus. Is it because my computer is over-heating? If so, it's a pain, but easily fixable with a book.
Siiiiiigh. This is so not what I need right now.
I got an email from Cleaveley, my advisor and friend from first year, and she asked if I'd gone to see a counsellor yet. Maybe it was a mistake to tell her about my meltdown. Although, she is the most "trained" for it, having been a rez advisor for like 5 years and has probably dealt with something like this before, or been trained on some kind of procedure. It's the smart response, "Get help" but not really what I wanted to hear. It always comes down to money. I just don't have the money to go see someone. Although if I didn't spend on other useless things like drinking or going out or shopping for a while, I could manage to go to at least one session. I am too logical and have too much common sense to let this go; I know I should nip it in the bud and get it taken care of now before it blows out of proportion and I really hurt myself or something later on. But when I feel fine now, I can't see the point of going... you know? I don't even think I do.
We have some random teacher's meeting tomorrow afternoon so I get to "leave work" early. I thought it was just an ALT meeting, but its every teacher. It must be some Board of Education meeting or something? IES hasn't been very forthcoming with the details. At least Amanda will be there so if it's completely stupid I'll have someone to roll my eyes at.
I started writing a fic today at work. :D I want to work more on it now but I don't want to open too many things while I'm transferring because it will slow things down to a glacial pace. I've got lessons 1-3 periods tomorrow and then I'm free to go to this meeting, I think. I'll have time to write a little before maybe. I finished watching Honey & Clover finally as well. I don't know what I was expecting, but I was disappointed at the end. I guess because I always want a happy romantic endings and this is definitely not one of those stories. Oh well. Toma was good. That's really the only reason I watched it anyway. I need my Mago Mago fix before bed. Hurry up transfer! Hurry up scan!
