Joy: alot of things going on smoothly that i feel happy to express!

- Working at home soon!
- Fiber Op internet!
- Bills! Fixed!

Sorrow: Going to miss my old ISP. :(

I had to switch because my new employer required a ISP they were familiar with, and Bell-Aliant is too well known here in Canada.

Joy: My new laptop came in.

Sorrow: Asside from a few breaks, I just wasted an entire afternoon trying to clean the ___ ____ stupid _______ ___-load of worthless _______ ___ ____ shovelware it was clogged full of.

And people wonder why I hate prebuilt machines...

sorrow: so apparently the extreme lengths i had to go to in the removing of the shovel-ware from this thing a while back left lasting damage software-wise, which earlier today made it go haywire. had to wipe it and start over.

Joy: apparently i found such a small portion of the junk that the boot time post wipe is less than HALF the delay it was before... O.o guess wiping it ans starting over was worth it for more reason than one.

Joy: Been getting good grades on my assignments lately, and from getting either perfect or close to perfect scores on the latest test and project, I managed to pull up my overall 73% grade to an 88% in my music class.
Sorrow: My best friend lives halfway across the world, and it's hard to get a hold of him a lot of the time.

*groan*: Time Warner's website is redirecting me from the login screen back to the login screen. Apparently my service was closed due to "Military Deployment." Guess who's not deployed and guess who didn't ask for a hold on my service. If you guessed "Deske" then you'd be correct on both accounts.
Edit: My roommate opened an account in his room and it basically overwrote my account. Luckily everything's getting sorted out.
Edit #2: These support techs are going to give me an aneurysm...

fright!!!: My computer keeps freezing up since yesterday, first firefox caused my entire system to crash, making it reboot itself, then today telegram causes everything to freeze up, so i had to press the reset button. I think it updated after i restarted, so i hope it's just because it's doing that. But i might have to reinstall window again to wipe everything clean soon :(

Joy - I've finally decided what I want to do with my life, I want to be an artist. I'm working at it currently, as it was probably foolish to choose the one profession that I'm extremely bad at.

Sorrow - I have no idea what I'm doing, can't afford art lessons and there aren't even any professional artists or classes near where I live. Also, I cannot decide whether or not I want to go to college for art, or if I just want to stumble my way through it like a fool.

Joy: Comicon was great! And I made it home safely.

Sorrow: I spent way too much money there. I can't really afford it.

But spring break isn't over. Spring break continues on until the end of the week.


Joy: I found lots of stories to entertain myself with.

Sorrow: Those things should run out eventually.
I have ideas and I occasionally put them down.
