Fairy Tales and Frustrations

It's be again. If i don't post, happy Halloween in advance. Moving on. I'm starting to hate web design even more. It's one of my online classes. The syllabus says something about a final web site that we create ourselves. The topic is on Community or whatever. The thing is, she hasn't mentioned anything about it. There's six weeks left in the semester. She said she should post rubrics and guidelines at a later date. It's just getting annoying. I'm just not going to worry about it. Another thing, she keeps babbling about random stuff that we aren't even doing. Example: we are suppose to do Carolyne's Creations (a website in the book that we are working on) and she said that in the syllabus, and in each assignment week. In her information posts that she posts on the main page of the class website, she talks about Tripsmart at random times. Something about help on number 13 on page 10-24 when the highest number is 4. Then she did a dirty thing to me. 9 weeks into the course she finally switches up her routine and i didn't bother to double check it. For Carolyne's Creation we switched up the layout of just th ehome page, according to the book. In her extra instructions under the assignment she posts doing it for all the pages. I found out by looking at one of her reminder posts about how to do some CSS stuff for the other pages. Luckily she just checks all the pages at the end of the course. But I had to spend a couple of hours doing that today. I was almost done with this week's assignment when i noticed that. Let's just say I wasn't happy. Then it got complicated. I won't go into details because chances are you aren't even reading anymore, but let's just say I took a less complicated way and took her exact instructions to word, even though it meant something else.

On the plus side, my online grammar class is easy. Got a 90% on my midterm. That's the only class I had a midterm in. I miss math, though. A few weeks ago we were doing stuff with binary in Cisco, and I was happy because I got to use math. Aced that test. I love subnetting.

Going back to web design, I came up with a great idea for an April Fool's Day prank on my website. You'll probably forget that I just said that so hehe in advance. Bye.

Coming to You Live from Lappy!

Hey how ya doin'? I hope good. I'm on my laptop because apparently defragging takes a long time in Vista. Granted I had never defragged my 200 Gb partition since I formatted and installed windows, but I didn't think it'd be more then seven hours later. So here I sit. Waiting patiently. Well, I got my online classes done for the week. So that's good. I really don't like laptop keyboards. I also found out where my hard drive space went.

On my Vista partition, I have about 200 Gbs of space. I had only about 50 Gbs left. I had to scratch my head and think where all this space went to. So I figured it out. 53.7 Gbs are in a download folder, 6.1 Gbs are in my Program Files folder, 19 Gbs are in my Program Files (x86) folder, 4.57 Gbs an ISO image of a DVD, 21.8 Gbs is in my Users folder, and 12.8 GBs are in my Windows folder. That comes up to 138.02 Gbs. So add 50 for my free space. That's 188.02 Gbs of space. I still wondered where 12 Gbs went. Then I remembered, I created a backup state for Windows to access if it every died. I'm thinking that's what the extra space is. When I created it, Vista said that it'd be a really really big file. They said it could be 1/3 of my space. I hope that's where it went. I don't feel like formatting for awhile. I am defragging it now, like I said and to ruin that wouldn't be good. What do I have in those files? A lot of crap. Users is where my documents, music, videos, photos, etc are. So that's why that's so big. The x86 program files is where i install programs to. The other one is where programs that don't know what a 64 bit computer goes to when they install. Not very many go there. I don't even know what I have installed in that one. Unreal and Hellgate london, and Stalker, are all installed in the x86, so that's why that's so big. The regular Program Files though, I don't know what takes up 5 Gbs. I have to check that out when it's done.

I just needed something to do so I blogged about something totally random. Later.

Happy Birthday to me!

Ok so my birthday was on Friday, but it's all good and gravy. I think the day was just wonderful, but it sounds boring. My teacher, that I have for three of my classes, was gone and canceled class for friday. So I got to wake up late. While I was eating breakfast, Cartoon Network was like "It's Roy's birthday, let's play Scooby Doo Where Are You? while he eats breakfast. My favorite show. I was happy. Then I opened by cards and got lots of money. Then I had English at 11 so I had to get up for that. Oh well. The class was really easy. Just some peer critiques on our essays. Went out to lunch with a friend. Wendy's was good and we got there right before the rush. I just sat around and watched House. That was good. Then I had to work at 5. That was too bad, but I had a good day. I was in electronics, which makes me happy. It was an easy night, but we were still there until 11. That was a bummer. Still it was a good day. So that was my birthday. I liked it. I'm having a party of sorts today, so that makes up for the lack of party on my birthday. Well I'm gonna go finish editing my essay. Later gator.

That sucked

Let me tell you a story. For the past couple of days I've been sick, and I've not been sleeping well because of it. Yesterday, I didn't have to work, didn't have class in the afternoon, and I got a lot of stuff done that I needed to do. I needed to finish my layout design for the family reunion site, and i got that done, needed to do my online classes for the week, got that done, and I finally got around to installing the forum on my site. So I thought it was a pretty productive day. Watched some Scrubs with friends that night. Went to bed at midnight, was very tired because of lack of sleep and being sick. I don't have class today, so I was happy that night that I could sleep in as late as i wanted. It was going to be a good night. Fell asleep fairly fast. about 2 am, I wake up to being half asleep. I switched to a different position to fall back asleep. Then I woke up completely. From the right side of my neck, to my right elbow, my shoulder was in pain. And I mean pain. It hurt no matter what position I moved my arm. It was bad. I went upstairs, looked through our medicine cabinet. I found some Absobine JR, but I didn't want to apply a liquid on my shoulder. I found Ibuiprofin (however you spell it) and took one of those. That didn't work. At 3 am I finally asked my mom if she had some muscle pain medicine. She had some spray stuff and that helped. Made my shoulder tingle, but masked the pain a little bit. I finally just layed down, closed my eyes and finally sleep overcame me. Slept good the rest of the night until 11:30. My shoulder still kinda hurts. A hot shower made it feel even more better.

I'm hoping that my shoulder will feel better before work today. I'm still sick too. It kinda sucks. Well I'm gonna go do something else. Later.
