I'm afraid of the world / I'm afraid I can't help it ...
...I'm afraid I can
College IS services want me to upgrade to Windows XP Pro before I can access their network. For E120.00 per upgrade, it's not exactly a bargain. I'm pretty pissed, since it's not like this laptop was cheap. And I'm broke, of course.
Whining's not going to fix anything, though.
Now I do out my:
timetable of days
weekly budgets
poster for the Arch. Soc.'s first event
---
Later.

I'd have puked, but the only thing I had in my gut was blood.
An immortal never vomits blood.
