Though I don't celebrate it personally...
Dec. 24th, 2010 03:34 pmMerry Christmas to those of you who do~

Been a bit of a crazy few weeks for yours truly. I've been sick on and off for most of them, though this past week was pretty much the worst of it all, complete with coughing like a dog and producing phleghm (SILENCE. I KEEL YOU!) in mind-shattering amounts. I missed a whole bunch of classes due to preferring to only come to things I couldn't catch up on later (such as labs). Then, on Wednesday, in the middle of some work on various things (including watching recorded ecology lectures and rephrasing some things on my PokeMon Evolution essaything for 'charms) my laptop decided to spontaneously die.
Fortunately, the cause of death was entirely unrelated to the hard drive - so it and all its data are still safe and sound. I've purchased an adapter case today which effectively turned the laptop hard drive into an external hard drive - which, other than the nice fact it has all my data backed up portably (I still want to make another backup copy just in case something happens)... well, it'll serve as a nice external HD (80 Gigs are still pretty good for extra storage space for -my- needs anyway) for me when I get a new laptop - which should be in a matter of a week, possibly two or three, depending how certain things at my dad's workplace go. (The laptop in question is his work laptop, a rather lovely two-year-or-so old Dell which not only still runs on XP, but also has a widescreen -AND- a serial port, which means I could probably plug in my ancient fossil tablet again eeee-)
It's SO nice to have my data intact in the meantime. ^^
