I haven't said anything in a bit, mostly because I've been too busy. Today we went to the game, which has been fun. We're playing a system a friend wrote, so we're basically helping him work on it, keep fleshing it out, that sort of thing. Frankly, I'm just enjoying playing my character. Think white 'n' nerdy + necromancer. I carry a shovel, because that's how I roll.
Then there's been term papers. I haven't actually started writing them yet, but I need to do that soon. I haven't even started doing as much research as I need to do. Mostly reading one thing here and there. All I got done tonight was eliminate one potential source and decide that another one was perfect. I've got something like a plan for two of them, but I need to do more reading. I have a topic and some work on a third, but I need a plan and I need to do a lot more reading. For the fourth one, I plan to just rework one of the other three. It should work out. Tomorrow is a day for more reading and more source-finding. Oh, and I have to wrote a 600 word paper. That last one shouldn't take too long.
i think I'm looking forward to my classes next semester, but I'm not sure yet. Some of that might just be the desire to get away from Aristotle talking.
My CD-RW is dying, so I need a new one. Thankfully, DVD-R drives are available on the cheap now, so I'll just be upgrading. I keep debating on whether to do that soonish to speed along the system back-up in preparation for the Linux install, or to stick to what my better judgment says about making major software changes while classes are still in session. LiveCD distros are helpful in this case because, without changing anything, I already know that the OS recognizes the important bits of hardware (keyboard, mouse, printer, internet and network connections). I do have a graphical issue on boot-up, and I don't know if that will persist past install. Of course, if it does, I can add permanently add in the boot options that work around it, but I'd rather not have to. I would like to think that once it's installed, it will fix, or at least that I'll be able to fix it by setting the graphics info straight. The problem with LiveCD distros is that if there is a hiccup, even one with a workaround, the steps required to fix the hiccup are unclear. Yeah, major software changes during school = bad idea.
gods, I can ramble.
