back up their stuff!!! i have this woman come crying to me telling me her floppy is screwed. the floppy contains the only copy of her dissertation which is due friday. she looks like is in her 40s and was literrally sobbing wishing me to restore her dissertation for her. i couldn’t. i sent her to the school main computer lab.. they have more sophisicated software there to help in this kind of situations.
i don’t know how many times people lose their stuff because they DO NOT back them up. seriously, working in the computer lab for so long, please take my advice, DO NOT TRUST any machines, back up as much and as often as you can!!! when you start a blank file, first go to file -> save as -> give it a name. always prefer saving it to a PC hard drive than any auxiliary devices. and save every 3 minutes or at least be very very alert about saving. make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of ANY IMPORTANT FILES! one has to be on your PC hard drive. if you don’t have a PC, you should save files on at least three different diskets or zips. sigh.. i don’t know what to say…
GOOD NEWS: ranmaguy is no longer single!! WOOHOO.. you go dude!

ignore what the time stamp says, this is the time on my computer. i woke up.. why? i woke up thinking about this debate, how weird.. i never felt so strong about a debate before. did i even wake up because i cared about that debate so much or because i was stressed out these days.
chemistry review section was fine. i just need to do more practice exam problems. i plan to finish the other one on my own so i can talk to my professor again if i’m stuck. my literature teacher extended the due days from May 9th to May 17th. certainly a relief.. i’m not worried about modern china final or computer organization final.. the two papers for literature will suck and so is the chemistry final. when can i ever finished with all these?! i can’t wait!!!!
andy’s conference went well. tho he’s on the bottom of the waiting list to get into the fall section. poor baby. he’s highly eligible but he didn’t know they were taking interviews since Jan.. so most people have gone before him. if he doesn’t get in this time, he will have to wait for another year! but then that’s all good too. he can save more money. the tools he will need to buy for the ASE training will be $4000. that’s very crazy!
