No, no, no.
Out of Commission! Or so my computer has been for the past, nigh, 2 weeks now.
I can boot it up properly, but as soon as it gets to the desktop and I do a couple clicks (to cancel internet connection and exit some of the auto-startup programs), it simply freezes. The mouse, the clock. If I wanted a lovely picture of a bamboo forest to decorate my apartment, it'd be no problem, but I'd actually like to use this device for things other than the wallpaper decoration.
The timing was a real bummer because I was just about to get on and have my biweekly chat with Miss Steen when it started it's freezing fit. Aside from that, it was a bit refreshing to have a forced break from the internet. I've gotten addicted to watching random youtube videos (particularly Ellen) for hours on end. It's a pretty petty hobby, and just leaves me feeling cloudy headed and unaccomplished at the end of the day.
In this past week, though, it feels like a whole new world of time has opened up. I've begun studying Russian, wrote some more letters, and mainly worked on making my first quilt! I had lots of time to think about Grandma Romfo and how great she is at quilting, then about Grandpa Romfo and how he would criticize some of my corners.
Hmm. Well however nice it has been to have a bit of a break, I'm really itching to get it back up and running again. Can't skype with people, can't post pictures here, or watch family / friend's videos, and must squeeze emails between classes at school. I guess there's nothing like an absence of something to realize how nice it is to have around. Let's just hope it isn't too much longer.
