damnit, I thought I could sit my lazy ass here in front of the pc for a few more days. I was wrong. FUUUUUU-

I thought the first day of classes at my new school was on june 15. turns out, it was actually june 8. that really caught me off-guard. my lazy cells are panicking right now! but, well, they're not panicking as much as they should be. because fortunately, my enrollment procedures would be greatly simplified by.. let's just say, a lucky advantage. maybe someday I'll talk about it, but not right now. we don't want that advantage jinxed, right?

since my days of being a house-ridden bum are almost at an end, I'm going to start sleeping early, so that I won't go into shock once school starts.

ermm.. it's past midnight right now, but let's not rush things, shall we? besides, I still have 5 days left. that should be enough to prepare me for next week.

there are a lot of things that I am very nervous about right now. and all of them are connected somehow to the coming week. I just hope I can survive whatever they're going to throw at me once school starts. this is my last shot, and I really need to do good this time.

5 more days. 

anyway, I finally managed to reformat my old pc. well, before that, my sister asked me to reformat hers. and man, did that give me a headache. I was supposed to switch her older 40gb drive and her 'newer' 120gb so that the one with the larger capacity became the system drive with the smaller one as the backup disk. unfortunately, that 'newer' hard drive wasn't very cooperative. it had disk read errors when I tried to switch it from slave to master. I tried all the jumper settings, cable select, flashed the MBR, boot records, you name it, but to no avail. in the end, we decided to just use the old configuration.

and, then, a day later, my pc was suddenly unable to play videos without crashing the system. I still don't know what caused that problem. I knew it was graphics driver related, but I don't know what kind of fix I should do. so, after more than a year of a stable system, I finally had to reformat once again. it was quite a task, but at least my pc's clean now. plus I had the chance to really fluff up my desktop with widgets and stuff. she looks very, very nice right now, with her digiclock and calendar. I can't be more proud. 

hmm.. what else.. ah, they've been talking about katrina halili and hayden kho's sex scandal on tv for a while now. I know, I'm already late in jumping in on the bandwagon, and I'm supposed to have an opinion about it, but well, I don't really give a damn. as long as they don't show it on tv that much, I'm fine with it. that is, IF they don't show it that much. I mean, yeah, it's news-worthy, but should you really be talking about sex scandals in front of viewers who could potentially be minors? elementary students have civics for a subject, which means their teachers would have to discuss sex scandals in the classroom since, after all, the media's buzzing with it. current events, 'ya know. and a scandal is a scandal only when it is scandalized (LOL). just stop talking about it and it will go away eventually (and I just contradicted myself with that statement, haha).

so anyway, it's really late, and I have to sleep now if I'm going to repair my broken internal bioclock. 

prayer for tonight: I hope I can make my remaining free days count.

ciao!
