Can It Get Any Worse?

Just when you think you’re on a roll and things are going your way for once… That’s when life hits you with that proverbial “fuck you” pie and then laughs when you go blind. Yeah, it laughs at you. Or well I’m pretty sure thats what the hacker is/was doing when (s)he completely dashed my hopes of getting a good grade on my Marketing Strategies project.

Yep, that’s right kiddies. The Whitters got hax0rd. I made a mistake, and this time my project got fucked for it. Now our backend deliverable for the project is completely undeliverable because I know it isn’t safe, and at the moment, I don’t know why. So today after our presentation, I am basically removing myself from my group and offering myself up as a sacrifice to the powers that be in hopes that they will take pity on my group members. We’re still delivering a pretty spectacular front-end website and a promise that I will personally fix and deliver the backend to them ASAP.

Here’s to hoping that they pity me. Or at least my group. I don’t want them going down for something that I did.

Withdrawl

The school year is finally starting to wind down, meaning I’ve been buried under a mountain of homework and will remain that way for at least another month and two weeks. Not that I really mind though since it’s something that has to be done and no amount of complaining is going to make it go away. But once that’s over, glorious summer will be here and I’ll have a chance to relax for a while.

Speaking of summer… The closer it gets, the more I find myself remembering back to the summer between my freshman and sophomore years. I had the job on campus and was primarily living with my aunt. Problem was that I also had campus housing and all my stuff (including my computer) was there. I didn’t get many chances to be online after that first month, but oddly I didn’t mind it. I think, in a way, I was actually happier that I didn’t have to keep up with both ‘online life’ and ‘real life’ at the same time.

This summer I’m going to be living with my aunt and working full-time on campus again. I don’t have to stay on campus, but I decided that it would be better for me to be down here in the office than at home procrastinating about the work I need to do. I get way too distracted when I’m sitting in my own house versus when I’m in the office and the boss could drop in any second. So I’m going to be living with my aunt again and even though I’ll be able to have my computer with me I’m thinking about not using it much.

The desktop is definitely going home – m y mom can use it and I can use it when I go home on weekends. But I’ll have my little HP laptop down here with me so I can do the online thing if I want to, but I really think that I’m going to be withdrawing from my ‘online life’. I don’t talk on messengers much (except to Mike who is going to be down here too), and I’m positive that nobody on Facebook is going to miss the application-denying party-pooper. I just need a break from the Internet that’s not a forced one (due to lack of time). I need to have free time but choose to spend it somewhere other than in front of a computer.

I’m going to attempt to blog more though so that I can continue to prove that I haven’t died. But please don’t expect much else in the way of contact.

The One in Which Whitters Just Rambles On

Got the email confirmation today.. GoDaddy now has their caring hands on my beautiful domain name. They even called me to see if I was enjoying the transaction process and make sure I wasn’t having problems with my previous registrar. Whois information is locked down tighter than a nun’s chastity belt and the domain won’t expire until March 2011. Whitters: 1, Stalkers: 0.

It’s still cold here, and I’m still miserable. Add my recently acquired sore throat into the mix and I have become the destroyer of worlds. But somehow, chocolate pudding makes that all better, even if only for a short while. I even sat down tonight and watched Tin Man in an attempt to quell the inner rage. Unfortunately it didn’t work as well as I had hoped. There were a few hours of shamelessly drooling over NM and then the anger was back.

Unfortunately John has been on the receiving end most of the time when my pissed-off attitude can’t be contained anymore and I end up spewing some incoherent ranting at him. But he says its not a problem, and actually seems a bit amused by it. I guess it’s better than the alternative: me shouting at someone and them having me committed. I’ll take humoring a friend over therapy any day.

I need to do laundry, I need to study, I need to do a lot of things. I’ve just been very blah over the past few days, probably because of the weather and current aggravating problems. I’m going to make a conscious effort to get everything done tomorrow though, since we’re FINALLY getting to start our I4I project (woohoo), and it’s probably going to start consuming large chunks of my time!
