there's a point when studying for a test that you reach the maximum level of preparedness. further study is trivial, as it will not increase the odds of getting a good grade. at this point, all that's left is to wait.

i reached that point at about 9: last night. and i cant take the test until 3: this afternoon.

so i wait.

and wait.

wish me luck.

my computer is dead.

dead dead.

the other day it started acting suspicious so i gave it the ol' 3 fingered salute.

only it didn't reboot. just gave me one of the most depressing sounds known to man:

beeeeeeeep...

beeeeeeeep...

beeeeeeeep...

beeeeeeeep...

no POST. no video. just an incessant beep...

a gig of dual channel kingston hyperX ram. we're talking just shy of 200 bucks to replace...

luckily kingston has a great warranty. i got an rma, sent in for a swap. should be getting more ram in a week or so.

until that time, i am reduced to listening to fm radio, stealing a moment or two on a roommate's computer to check email, doing homework in a lab on campus.

but i can see the light ahead. disaster averted, travesty overcome.

although our acquaintance was brief, he will be missed.

he was a good pizza, well made, not too hot.

he brought us joy in the moment of our friendship.

buried in an unmarked grave, amidst the remains of soda cups and waste paper.

his contribution will not easily be forgotten.
