So, it has been almost a year since my last post but for some reason I felt in the mood to blog.
Right now I am battling my internet connection. I need to work on my part for my 462 project but everything is being so slow. Normally internet is fast enough so you can just leave your files on your CS drive but not if you live at the Ridge. So, I am trying to get my files off, but it is not being very responsive. I yelled at the customer service for my isp on Saturday and he assured me someone would call me back by Monday, but of course I haven't. It just makes me angry. I need to complain to the office about it. Let them know that when they say "free high speed internet" some people really do need it to be "high speed."
I've been a little stressed out. I got back from Thanksgiving and saw just how much I needed to do in the next 3 weeks. I've slowly been marking things off my list. You should see my kitchen counter, it has a sticky note for every day and lists everything I need to do all week. I borrowed that method from my old cubemate, Julia, she used to make sticky note lists every day.
I bought a new CD today. I had been trying to resist and save some money to buy Christmas presents and stuff, but it is a Christmas CD, so I kinda need it before Christmas is over. It is Songs for Christmas by Sufjan Stevens. If you are into indie folk pop Christmas music, I definitely recommend it, and even if you aren't you should check it out anyway. If you buy it in the store it comes with stickers and stuff, but I couldn't find a store around here that sells it, so I just got it off iTunes. It is 42 songs long, not bad for 15 bucks. Plus, I had tried listening to holiday music on Pandora, but I've come to find that there are really only 12 Christmas songs. This CD has some of the classics sung in Sufjan Steven's awesome voice plus some cool new songs.
If you are bored and are looking for a good blog to read I recommend this one. It is about this girl who I think goes to Dimitri's Mom's school or something and she got in a 4 wheeler accident and was in a coma for a while. I've been reading it ever since Dimitri's Mom's blog mentioned it right after it happened. She is awake and can walk and talk and eat now, it is really inspiring. Her Mom is the one writing it, and she is good.
Man, I still have 7 minutes before my CS drive relinquishes my networking code. My internet was fast earlier, I think it is bad cause I tried to download a bit torrent for last week's scrubs episode. I know that doesn't sound to legal, but what else am I supposed to do, it was the same time as Grey's Anatomy. I asked for a tv capture card for Christmas and a huge hard drive, so hopefully soon that problem will be solved. Anyway, whenever I try to download bit torrents they always get to 95% and then all the jerks with the chunks I need go away and then there are 20 people stuck there without the last 5%.
That's all for now... maybe I'll write again before next year.
