Please Let it be the Ram

I took my iBook to the Apple store the other day to have the ‘geniuses’ take a look at it.  The guy turned it on and opened a bunch of programs, which got it to start blinking.  That was good since I thought I’d get it there and it would act fine.
After watching it blink [...]

IT Help

My iBook has been blinking randomly for the past few days.  My dad thinks it is because the logic board is broken and the people on the Mac forum I’m on agree.
Today I took it to the IT help desk at school just to get another opinion.  I explained the problem and the guy working [...]

That Would Be Why I Type Things

Today in Creative Writing my teacher had us re-write parts of one girl’s story.  The teacher went around the room reading what everyone had written.  One guy told the teacher his writing was really messy.  The teacher said it didn’t matter and he could read anything.
He had looked at most people’s stuff and then asked [...]

Broken Printer

The other day my dad and I were in the family room.  My youngest sister walks in complaining that the printer is broken.  My dad asked her, ‘What happens when you hit the print button?’
My sister says,  ‘Nothing.’  My dad gets up and goes into the office with her.  He spent ten or fifteen minutes [...]

1 Year Anniversary…A Little Late

I missed it.  March 13 was the 1 year anniversary of my blog.  It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I spent two or three hours in my old school’s library trying out various blogging websites while I should have been studying.  I decided on WordPress after not liking FreeWebs.  Although I did [...]

Survey Fail

My school emailed me a survey to take about my opinion of residential life.  There’s a chance I could win a Wii, Nintendo DS, or GPS unit, which would be awesome.  I clicked the link to take it and burst out laughing at the first question.

First, I have never seen a gender question where ‘transgender’ [...]

Scantron Fail

Today we had a test in Research Methods.  It was our second test in the class and my teacher passed out scantron sheets like she had done with the previous test.  I proceeded to fill it out, realizing as I bubbled in the second ‘A’ in my name that I had put my first name [...]

You Know You Live in NY When…

It’s 45 degrees and people are walking around campus in shorts and throwing frisbees and footballs around.
It has been abnormally warm the past few days.  40-50 degrees, no snow.  Definitely not normal for March.  Today, it’s supposed to get close to 60.
I was walking back to my dorm today and the cleaning lady says to [...]

We’re Killing a Forest

My Creative Writing teacher decided to make each of us print out 21 copies of our 8-10 page short stories.  I was quite surprised at this because normally the teachers make the copies for all the students.
Then I got to thinking, if each of us prints out 21 pages of a 10 page paper, that’ll [...]
