Trying to Stay Awake

Well, I'm running on a little less than 3 hours. Ah yes, I love those nights. It's not so much that I'm incredibly tired, but I feel a little sick all day. Nothing settles in my stomach right, can't see straight, eyes are puffy, etc.

So apparently my eye doctor and my dentist are no longer part of our PPO plan, so that makes me happy, and so I'm currently searching for somebody I can see here rather than looking for new doctors in Hanford. Glasses I think I'm just going to go to a cheap place. Have them test my prescription, get me a new pair, call it good. I'm not really worried about it. Dentist I should probably find a real one. Bro. Staley used to be on the plan, and I would have gone up to Salt Lake to go to a dentist I know, but he's not covered on the student health insurance discount. I'll check with the PPO to see if he's listed there and I'll use the private insurance. I do really hate finding new doctors, especially when I've seriously been looking forward to my eye appointment in December. New glasses, not my prescription of 4 years ago! Nope, j/k. *sigh*

I was ready to kill every open access computer yesterday. So, story due in fiction. Got to school to finish writing it, got it written, tried to print. "Um, you need more money on your signature card, stupid." Oh yeah, I remember. Back before my debit got locked (thanks Wells Fargo. I really owe you one for that one...not) I needed money and had no way of doing it, so I was sneaky, I was. Well, couldn't be sneaky anymore. Went to put money on with my brand new debit card (you do get a thank you for that Wells Fargo) and it's like REJECTED. I was like wtc?! Yeah, somehow, even though Utah is listed as my home address, my card thinks I live in California *headdesk* I'll fix that later. So now, I can print. "Um...Pharos hates you, you can't print, sorry." Yeah, I couldn't get the printer server to come up at all, no matter what. It did once, then it just stopped coming up or responding. The print jobs were trying to go through, but the print server couldn't find them. So I moved out of the LRC and down to the Periodicals room (searched 3 other computer labs in the process and I'm now late for class) and find one computer open and it was the slowest piece of shit I've used in a long time. I mean SLOW. You'd think it only have 56Mb of memory, seriously. So after it finally decided it knew what a flash drive and decided to open Word for reals and not in jEdit (where the hell did jEdit come from? Did I say I wanted to program computers?). With much effort, I convince it that it wants to print my story, Pharos comes up this time, so I go to the printer, and I seriously have to punch everything 5 times to get a response. I mean holy freakin' crap! Windows and I got in our biggest fight in a long time yesterday.

So I need more memory in Wazlib again. 1.25 Gig was more than enough running Tiger. Leopard runs just fine, but the processor cranks harder than I like sometimes. I check iStats and after it's been on about two hours I've used all the memory. I don't know that it's worth hauling it up to the bookstore to have them put it in, though. I refuse to install Mac memory myself, and I would never trust a PC nerd to do it, and I'm not so sure I trust my Mac nerds to do it. So I think instead I'll just start dreaming about a MacBook and let Wazlib be. I just don't like how hard he's working sometimes. Runtime hasn't really slowed.

So, from here on out school will be kicking my butt, just FYI. December 21st can't come fast enough! So, time to finish my term paper, turn it in, and homeward bound! Oh yeah, get my Photoshop business done first, then home.

Oh, did I mention that I have 60 verses of Hebrew tonight? Dang it, I want sleep!
