computer woes

e_clareThere is little that is more depressing than the failure of my computer to function properly these days. I've been without a word processor since LITS "saved" the machine in January and reinstalled Windows. My efforts to remedy that have not gone well.
This isn't helped by the fact that I really, really, really want an iBook -- have been coveting one for years. Now seems like a good time to invest in one, except that I was really hoping to get through this semester on ye olde Delle notebooke, and also, England made me poor. Plus, I'm a cheap bastard anyway, and hate spending actual money on things.
Not helping matters any is my incredible apathy today. (I think it's hormones. Damn women's colleges.) It's all cold and gray outside, and I just want to go back to bed instead of writing my Stoppard paper. I've spent most of the last two and a half hours messing around online anyway, looking up computers (and pricing Dell hard drives, which would obviously be cheaper, and possibly more sensible, since Mom wants to inherit the laptop anyway).
Right. Going to snap out of this. Plan of action: work on paper until the borrowed library laptop is due back at 4:50 (have I mentioned that I heart LITS, for loaning out laptops?). At which time, I will go back to the room and read/nap, then have dinner and return to the library for a thrilling Friday night.
I'm trying to be good and get this paper at least drafted before Mom gets here tomorrow afternoon, so I can actually be a good daughter and be mostly not-stressed. And tomorrow night, we're having sushi, so I have that to look forward to as well. Chin up, self!
Until then...I need something else to make me happy...
Bean! Dog! Yay!
