The death of my laptop cord...

... and the case of incurable insomina (for now, anyways...)

HP Laptop Cord Obituary
-> Certified: Monday, June 15, 2009 around 12pm GMT +08:00 time...
-> Attendees to the funeral: none
-> Condolences offered: mom call me on my cell phone

My cord has been having connection problems for a while (charges only when the cord is placed at a certain angle), but since I decided I wasn't going to get a new laptop until I get back to Toronto, I tried to keep it in the best condition possible. On Monday, it started sparking... =T very scary stuph... unplugged it and there was a hole in the cord. Hence my laptop was rendered useless without the cord.

Now normally, it wouldn't be that bad without my laptop, BUT I had 2 presentations + respective reports due within the following 2 days AND a final exam. Perfect timing, no? =___________=;; Luckily, I had everything backed up on my external drive (cuz I was expecting that my computer/cord might die any day) so I basically bummed at the student lounge computers everyday to finish all my work.

I was planning to be laptop-less for 3 weeks - which is when my family comes to Asia with dad's laptop. I definitely wasn't going to pay for a new cord when I would be ditching my computer in a little over a month's time. I decided to try the limits of my 3-year global warranty and it actually covers the replacement for a new one! =) I used to always joke and complain about this exceptionally long warranty cuz I would've gotten a new laptop in January if I wasn't covered. My motherboard was changed under the warranty back in January and obviously, no one would pay to change a motherboard if they weren't covered~ Needlesstosay, I'm VERY glad for my 3-year warranty at the moment - I won't be bored to death without a laptop for 3 weeks. ^___________^ God has His good plans. hehe*

Incurable Insomnia
Well, it hasn't been cured as of yet - that's all. It's not that bad, I suppose~
I think about a week or two ago, I started having trouble falling asleep. I used to be able to fall asleep within 5 minutes, but lately I've been rolling around for over 30 minutes before finally drifting off into dreamland. =_________=;;
During the time of finals, it's not a such good thing to have.
My brain just won't stop functioning at night - keep thinking about my finals, what I'll do in HK, what I need to pack in TW, what I'll do when my family comes over to TW, where to bring them to eat, shop and play in HK, etc., etc., etc. OH... and course selections for next year... =________=;; that's a biggie...
ERG!... hahaha... such RANDOM thoughts...
There have been interesting suggestions to use sleeping pills or booze to relieve the effects of insomnia, but I prefer not to. Thanks. =P hahaha...

Currently
Despite my insomnia, I managed to survive my 2 hard presentations + respective reports - one day after the next.

My one and only final exam - which was the easiest exam in my life - was a joke. The professor had the class make a total of 100MC questions and he said he'd pick 20 from there for the final. So I finished the exam in 5 minutes and used the remaining 5 to triple check my answers before handing it in. =) My mark will not be any lower than 90% in that class - happiness. =)

So I have one more presentation to go next week, but it's a really easy BS one.
I consider myself pretty much done! ^________^

Starting to pack certain things now - lots to pack!
Now that I'm basically a week away from leaving here, it's starting to feel a little weird...
There's 50% of me that wants to leave and another 50% that wants to stay longer. =(
The good thing is that I'll see my 2 close girl friends back in HK again~ ^________^
As for the guy friends - adios! *sniffs*
Going to enjoy my last week here!!
