Three cheers for my computer working again! It's been down for over a month now, so all I've been bumming my roommate's computer this whole time. I'm glad to have my own that finally works like it is supposed to. Well, almost like it is supposed to.

Turns out, the little guy had over 5000 infected files from 6 different viruses. Megan said my cmopy was a whore, sleeping around and contracting CTDs. I have to agree. It was pretty bad; my hard drive had to be reformatted. Everything was trash and too virus-ridden to be saved except my My Documents folder. I now have a CD with that folder on it. I need to re-install Microsoft Office on to it now, all I can do as of right now is access te internet. Looks like I'll be spending some time infront of my screen this weekend. I'm sort of excited about reprogramming it. It gives me a sense of independence and accomplishment.

And I get to look for a new screensaver! I was getting tired of the changing Legolas theme. Hot as it was, it's time for a new one.

The biggest bummer is that I lost all of my music and pictures. Groan. Time to rebuild.

Moving on....

I've been listening to "You are Still Holy" by Rita Springer over the past few days. I can't get it out of my head. Nicole and I went to the prayer chapel downstairs and played it on the piano and sang really late one night. I loved it. I'm glad she can play. I wish I could play more.

I'm the only one in my suite tonight. Cole and Meg are at a retreat and Kalee went home for the weekend. I'm on duty so I have to stick around. It's so dead! The dorm is half-empty and nobody is doing anything fun. Ho hum. I've already cleaned the bathroom, washed all of our dirty dishes, and done 2 loads of laundry. I'm like a little housewife, except nobody is here but me. Look at me being all domesticated! :)

Speaking of domesticated, I really want to see my cat. I miss her.

Last night I went to Greentown to Mark's house, where I hung out with Mark, Ben, and Jeremy Weed. Great fun! I haven't seen those guys in weeks and I missed their goofiness. It was good for me to get off campus, even just for a few hours.

Andrew is coming tomorrow! Excitment lingers in the air. Yay, boyfriend!!

I got a 100% on my philosophy exam! Woo hoo!! I missed one question but got the bonus right, so it evened out. I knew I missed the question when I handed in my test. Upsetting? Eh, not too much. I couldn't remember the difference between pantheism and panentheism, and the definition he gave was not what I wrote down and studied, so I just picked between the two. For a moment, I was bummed that I didn't get a 101, but the moment quickly passed and I laughed at myself b/c I'm not usually perfectionistic. Nicole told me I could hang the test on or refrigerator as soon as he records the grades and passes them back. I wish I had one of those "Look what I did in school today!" magnets, but alas, all we have are those poetry magnets and a few random ones I got from the Taste of Marion freshman year.

Wowey, I am really rambling. I need human interraction. I've been by myself for the past 6 hours.
