IC COMPS ARE TOO SLOW

This is going to be a very jumpy post because I'm jumpy, sleepy and pissed at the computer.

I'm sitting at a comp in IC because I want to do my ArcGIS assignment but the computers are way too slow and my ArcMap isn't loading fast enough.

So here I am, opting to make a blog post. I missed last week's. Why? Because I was busy doing an assignment and helping my friend in Japan do translations. Oh and when I wasn't doing that, I was watching Grey's Anatomy. I started from the beginning again because I have no idea where I stopped watching like five years ago.

Last week, my boss from my old job called me and gave me my job back - instant. I start again in two days. The second I stop wishing for something, it will always present itself to me. Due to this, I suddenly had much less time to do my assignments/studying (you know, since I leave everything to the last possible minute). I was supposed to spend the Saturday with Freak so I was freaking out about no time and I started wishing for her appointment to be cancelled. It was. Ok, wish hard enough, you get it.

WELL HERE'S A WISH: I WISH ARCMAP WILL STOP BEING SO SLOW ON THIS STUPID COMPUTER.



Whatever. I also learnt something new. For the past week, I've been tortured by Python because we are learning it for compsci111. I didn't pay attention in class so I struggled with the lab. Thank god I have the co-founder of Notable as a friend. Messaged him and he explained the code to me and wrote one for me so I could learn it. Finished it in time.

Today Nescafe was hanging out in the quad giving out free coffee. Asians don't say no to free things - even if I don't drink coffee. So I walk up and grab some freebies.

First, you get a voucher for $1 off the pack in the supermarkets...

Then the girl handed me the cup of coffee.

I was thinking how did they get a tap in the middle of the quad? Who cares, I had to go to class and the cup of coffee was burning my delicate hand.

The extra sachet that was also given with the coffee.

After my freebie collecting self was satisfied, I headed off to my GIS lecture. I suck at paying attention in class. God knows how I manage to pass. Since I am really bad at it, I ended up playing on Instagram - I've discovered the joy of hash tags. Well, I've always known it, so I guess I should say "I've discovered the joy that hash tags bring me". I used hash tags in one of my pictures and people liked my pictures. So... being the attention seeking whore that I am, I went back and hash tagged most of my previous pictures and waited for the likes. So lame.

Also, I just quit the ArcMap programme because I couldn't handle the wait.

Back to my being unable to focus in lectures? Well, I started taking photos of my scarf.

I love red. I have yet to post this on instagram. Also, during my lecture, I decided to do a few things.

  1. Hurry up and pass my full license
  2. Do something crazy - that is go with my friends to Momotea. ...in Hamilton. Thus the need for my full license.
  3. Drive up to Cape Reinga. BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS WILL FOLLOW.
The coffee must have worked well because I had become focused and I even took notes in the last half hour of the two hour lecture.

Well, I've killed enough time. I should probably head home. My eyes are killing me but I cannot remove my contacts.
