two weeks from sunday...

... i'll be [here]

week ten

somehow week ten never ceases to amaze me in how busy/stressful it is. leading up to it i'm always very on top of things and all of a sudden week ten comes and BOOM.

so this past weekend...

my computer exploded. no really, like the logic board and everything. and it's week ten and i didn't have the majority of my files. saturday morning it just went boom and nothing worked. the guy at the apple store pulled out a screw driver and said something to the extent of "man this doesn't look good" it's currently at the apple store getting fixed (2nd time there in 2 weeks, first time was to replace the cd drive..) they said i'd have it back by tuesday and today is clearly wednesday... they have not called. tomorrow morning they are getting a lovely good morning now WHERE IS MY COMPUTER message. anyway, they couldn't get any of the files off for me. i have some parts of things but i've spent the majority of the week tweaking and redoing things i've already worked on. plus there were enormous amounts of traffic getting there which was annoying and time consuming when i needed to be working on final projects.

but life goes on...

first, i have this awesome friend tyler (who maybe reads this blog? hi tyler!!) who happened to have an extra computer because RIT kids are cool like that. and it has cs5 and everything so i was able to recover one of my files! hooray! especially because the labs close at horribly inconvenient hours.

the drive to the apple store was kind of relaxing because there were so many gosh darn red lights that i just got to sit there and think and not be annoyed.

friday was IV, praise night and awesome conversations with friends because the other two musketeers are fantastic like that.

saturday was roommate girls night with hilary duff (we watched A Cinderella Story) and then my goofy friend came over for a late night chat.

sunday morning was church (complete with a willy wonka set due to a children's play that is to be put on later) and brunch after church. plus lots of new people came which was AWESOME. then IV meetings planning for big campus christmas parties.

even the lady at the gas station was nice and chatty.

i'll let you in on a little secret (i wrote most of this post last sunday and forgot to post it) i apparently also wrote this next statement...

"is it weird that i'm not stressed out for all of the final projects and tests I have? probably."

HA. i take that back. stress overload.

it's also real cold here. but apparently only for me? my body temperature all day has been about 2 degrees and despite having 4 layers on (one of which was underarmor) i was still about ready to shrivel up and die. how nice. everyone else had a t-shirt on.

anyway... lucky for me i have 22 more things on my to do list before break officially starts. and no, the things are not "brush my teeth" ... real hardcore to do things.

top five fridays

life is quite time consuming as of late.
good, but time consuming.

i've come to the realization that things are never quite "finished" with things. but i can say without hesitation that this year is a whole heck of a lot better than last. times a million.

two weeks from today I'll be flying home for a nice 23(?) hours at home before headed off to Wisconsin. i'm getting back into the i-don't-really-have-a-house mindset which is good but occasionally unsettling. should be an interesting next couple of months.

i realized yesterday that i have not made a list in weeks-- which is weird for me. i list everything. what i need to do, what to eat, everything. so to get back into that...

top 5 things i currently love (in no particular order)
1. Coffee-- not so much the caffeine, although that might have some pull, but the concept of it. it's so nice during weeks 9/10 to just go out and grab some coffee in the middle of a day (or middle of class). it helps keep my head on straight.
2. friends/roommates. all for multiple reasons. but they are just awesome and deserve a good pat on the back.

3. church-- the new church i've been going to for a few months now, more specifically. i feel like i actually belong there and all of that neat stuff! if only it was sunday everyday.
4. backup harddrives.. it's especially nice when your file just corrupted to have the peace of mind that you saved it in 12 other places. helps reduce panic attacks.
5. this song which i might have possibly had on repeat all week...
