silva rerum

A being darkly wise, and rudely great

Finally, time to breathe! It’s been quite the roller­coaster ride for the past three weeks, with non-​stop assign­ments, labs, midterms, et cet­era. Thankfully, my trusty new Starbucks order (Triple Grande, Extra Hot, No Whip Mocha) has been help­ing me through the midterms, one by one. I ought to know bet­ter than to cram nowadays but…procrastination happens.

I got around to installing Windows 7 and I really like it! People can com­plain all they want about Microsoft but I think they hit the mark this time, even if it isn’t a bulls-​eye. I wasn’t entirely con­vinced that my life would be changed by their new taskbar (and their new-​fangled jump tasks) but I find it quite indis­pens­ible now. It only took me a day or two to rein­stall everything and set my pref­er­ences back. Thank good­ness for Mozilla Weave!

I’ve also become a bit of a con­sumer­ist now; every time I feel upset, I buy myself some­thing to cheer up. I really should stop that habit; it doesn’t help my back account balance.

I hope I’ll have some inter­est­ing adven­tures in the near future about which I can blog but I some­how doubt it. Is this all it amounts to? I feel slightly embar­rassed to seem so mundane to my read­ers (if there are indeed, any) but I’m quite enthralled by my life, bor­ing or otherwise.
