It finally happened. I tried the system recovery on my computer, and now I can't start Windows. This computer is such a piece of shit. So far, in the about 20 months that I've owned the computer, it's needed two hard drives, a fan/heat sink, and an Ethernet card (sort of). That's ridiculous. Since my dad rocks, he's shipping his old laptop up from Atlanta, and it should be here on Thursday. I can use that till the end of the year, and since I won't need a computer for summer or fall, I can buy a new one at Christmas. I'm eyeing the Dell 600m's right now. Anybody have any Dell horror stories? I'm not going through this crap again. If HP hadn't screwed up and said one repair was under warranty when it wasn't, I would have had to spend $850 on fixing this computer just to make it run, and that is NOT acceptable. Don't ever buy a HP computer, and I'm leary of Compaqs now too. I'm going to compose an angry letter after Wednesday.

Otherwise, I finished the problem set due tomorrow (and by finished, I mean I did 3 of the 5 problems-- I don't have time to do the rest) and am at Crerar for hopefully about three hours of paper. I need a full draft tonight. That's the goal. I have 7.5 pages right now, but the last graf is a bit sketchy. Then one more problem set due Wednesday afternoon, this paper due Wednesday night, a 'midterm' on Friday (sure there're two classes after the midterm), a takehome over the next weekend, and then beginning to study for my finals and such.

God, my life is BORING.
