Tired Of Being Tired

Will this post lead up to a point? I can't say for sure, and if it doesn't, oh well. This is one of those times that, for once, instead of trying to think of something significant to speak about, I'll write what's on my mind and make it up as I go along. If I stumble across something, well then, it's nice to have some filler material.

I recently upgraded the processor in my computer, Serenity (I didn't pick the name), from a Celeron 433mhz to a 1.1ghz. I suppose it should be mentioned that it's actually a Socket 370 processor mounted in a Slot 1 adapter card, which is how I'm using that processor in an older machine. Unfortunately, the motherboard only runs it at 800mhz, which means there's 300mhz of clock speed inaccessible from my current setup. That and Windows has blue-screened on me every 5 minutes after bootup since I put the new processor in. I just reinstalled XP. Hopefully that'll configure it to the new processor. Crossing fingers, crossing fingers...

This Semester

It's been a week since classes start and I think that this semester will in fact be more time-consuming than the previous one, even with the absense of a mathematics course. Plato is wordy, to say the least, but also very thoughtful. It's something you have to read and think about at the same time, or in some cases, read and then reflect on later (This book is required for my Religion & Society course). Things do aim to be faster-paced this time around, but I will try not to falter, at least not on purpose.

I also spent part of tonight listening to Radio Free Burrito Episode 4, a nice little repreive. I don't need to tell you why to listen to it if you haven't already. Just do it. Do it.

Anticipation

Classes start again in about two days, and all I can say is that I want it to happen sooner. I want to feel that exhiliration, the tenseness, the fear and loathing, the whole nine yards of emotion in the college life. I've felt myself grown increasingly stolic while I've been on break. I just want to break out of this lazy mold and do something constructive that will actually further my college career, not that I haven't been doing other forms of construction while on break.

I'm facing this coming semester with a higher level of confidence as opposed to the previous one, which I attribute over half of my difficulties during that time to calculus. Without a math class to worry about this semester, and just one science class, I think I'll have a wider berth to have some fun with my courses.

No Comment

Never underestimate one's own powers of laziness.

I can't say that anything significant, life-changing, or Nobel Prize-quality has happened in the last few weeks. I ordered in a wi-fi card for my Thinkpad but unfortunately it appears that the laptop needs some driver updates or something of the sort to let it use the wi-fi card for Internet access, so I now have to order in a dial-up modem or LAN card to get online to get the files to get online.... wirelessly.
