Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: My new Chromebook should be coming tomorrow. I can't wait, seeing how it's the best Chromebook (In terms of performance) on the market right now. (On top of the new hard drive that's coming with it that I'll install after about a week just to be sure that I don't void the warranty in case something doesn't work)
Joy: On Tuesday I should be getting a new DC jack (The thing you put the plug into so your computer will charge) for an old HP laptop our family doesn't really use anymore. The one that's in it is really, really touchy. My research seems to indicate that this isn't an uncommon problem...
Joy: After that, I'll basically have 4 fully functioning laptops. My Samsung Chromebook, my Acer Chromebook (The one that's coming tomorrow), the old HP, and my Dell. Don't ask me why, I don't know why I need 4 either.
Joy: On top of fixing the HP, I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive from the old HDD that's in it to a new SSD. This means that I'll not only make it as fast (if not faster) than a new laptop, but I won't have to worry about any old viruses (Or anything else for that matter) that my family may have put on it. I never really used it so I don't know what kind of stuff is hidden in the depths of the memory... (I'm also thinking of getting an SSD for my Dell for the performance increase.)
Sorrow: The problem of 4 laptops (A first world problem if I ever heard one) lead to the question of how keep effective track of them and all of their equipment (Chargers, mouses, Ect).
Joy: I actually already solved that problem at a thrift shop. A huge laptop carrying case that I actually thought was for storing a desktop tower at first. Got it for $5. I didn't look up a price for a similar sized one, but I'd imagine it would run at least $50.
Joy: I also solved the problem of keeping too many wires and wired things (Like ear buds) in the same space. I found some velcro wire straps that are absolutely AWESOME. They will no longer become a tangled mess just from simply keeping them in the same pouch.
And one final Joy: Got paid some money today. Not a lot considering the work I did to earn it, but money is money.

Sorrow: Being forced to take charge of making a decision that really shouldn't be mine (and should have been made a week or 2 ago), and I'm going to get some flak for it.
Joy: The fly that has been buzzing about and adding to my frustrations tried squeezing through the crack between my laptop screen and the keyboard Apparently the space was too small, and it died in the attempt. My mood is now increased.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Sorrow: Gonna be another late one. Today has been kinda draining but this paper is almost done and I think it'll be good.
Joy: It's not gonna be an all nighter.
Joy: Tomorrow morning I'll actually be able to just wake up and play some bass before class.
Joy: Got three movies off my watchlist this weekend. And in the end that's all I really want to do on any given weekend. I'm glad I got to just experience the joy of watching new films again. It's been to long.

Sorrow: I think I've officially run out of creative thought to give outside of school. All these threads in front of me, and all these new and interesting things I'm finding, and I can't think of one "correct" thing to say about any of it. Just gibberish and confusion.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Sorrow: Last night my television died.
Joy: I still have radio and my record player.
I was sad that I didn't have anything to watch my movie collection on, so I decided to count it. Just by cases and not counting multiple disks per case or multiple movies on a single disk, it turns out I own 463 DVDs... and I can't watch a single one.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
A little Joy: Had a nice personal conversation with a friend of mine.
A little Sorrow: He asked me who my crush was. Problem is, he is one of them. You could imagine how hard it was answering his question but at the same time not tell him the truth.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: A friend offered me roommate position at a cost of less than half the rent. He makes more than I do, and could cover the rent entirely, but if he did, he would not be able to afford the furry cons he goes to fairly often.
I think I have to take him up on this.

As I had said to Sleet before, bury yourself under blankets, kick up the thermostat if it's okay, and drink lots of warm water. Try to sweat if possible, it helps to rid the body of heat through perspiration. Going to the toilet often also helps.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: Got that essay finished, and managed to find a few out a few interesting things nonetheless
Sorrow-ish: I look forward to getting that essay back and hearing all the things I already know went wrong...AKA, the paragraphs don't flow well, it seems I've referenced things that don't need referencing, the essay isn't focused enough etc.

Uncertain Joy (ha): Naps for the past two days were a nightmare, but today I feel good. I still have a light stomach, though and I generally only want to eat light foods. I'll likely be going to work today and see if I can work through it.

Sorrow: I'm not going to have anything fun to do for a full month. I was hoping to get a new gaming computer since my last one kicked the bucket, but I have no possible way to afford one.
