Every time I read this thread, I get that stupid Monty Python song stuck in my head.

/wanders off singing "Spam, spam, spam spam..."

Now, you know your Spam! :p ;)

Oh, I just have to vent!!

Well, I got home from clinicals Thursday night, did most of my homework here on the computer, but did not print it.

Well, wouldn't you know, when I got up Friday to print my work and finish what I hadn't started, my computer was dead. Yup, I said it DEAD!!

Nothing but a bunch of clicking and whirring then nothing. Black screen and white cursor.

FREAKED ME OUT!!

Well, turns out it was just a dead hard drive, so for $60 I bought a new one, and a friend installed it and upgraded me from windows ME to Windows XP, (Yes, Laura, I have XP now).

Well, I forgot I have to load all my drivers. Ummm, I have had this puter for 7 years. Do I know where all the disks are? Hell no!!

So, I sit here on dial up waiting for a disc from my DSL provider, downloading drivers for my printer and trying to remember what other drivers I will need.

Oh, woe is me!! :(

Wooooooo Hooooooooo

Got the prinder drivers downloaded, printer is up and running!!

Yay me!

J_9, isn't it amazing how dependent we become on our toys? I lost electricity for over 24 hours on Monday. :eek: I thought I was going to lose my mind!

So, Janine, were you able to recover all that you lost on your first computer??

Oh my word you mean we will be able to skype properly shock horror I think I need more wine lol

Laura my dear, get the whole bottle of wine, yes we will be able to skype properly here sortly when I am off dial-up

Mom, I lost ALL of my pics, basically everything except, for some reason, my Word documents. I really needed those too.

I went out and got a jump drive, so now I am saving everything I want and/or need to that.

Shame about the pics I didn't save any either ggrrrr going to go check my saved box in my mail for you

J I have the ones of rea's pageant that you sent me but I can't find anything else let me know and ill send them back to you xxx

Oh, yes, please send them. Oh, and I forgot the pics that we shared on Yahoo, I saved those too!!

So, maybe I will still have some left.

The dude that fixed my computer saved the hard drive and is going to try some data recovery. I sure hope it works.

Sent my sweet :D

Oh, thank you hun!! I don't have my e-mail set up yet, but when I do the pics will be there waiting for me!! :D

Hehehehehehe I was just pleased I saved that email there such special pictures :D

Pour me something tall and strong make it a hurricane before I go INSANE!! :p

Finals are over!! HOORAY!! :D

My study group and I (all 4 of us gals) got a hotel room near the college on Monday night. We studied are arses off...

Well, took the final today 100 questions, and I walked out feeling pretty (really actually) confident. Now, all I have to make is a 64% to maintain my GPA and stay in the course. I know I made that at least.

So, back to the study group. People finished their finals and walked out in the hall to wait on friends and discuss the final. Some girls were crying (one had to make a 95% to stay in the program) and others were just plain ashen looking. My friends and I were there laughing and cutting up, not realising that others were in turmoil. One of the students said to us "Well, good thing you feel confident, you are the only ones, must be nice."

Well, yes it feels nice :D. We NEVER turned the TV or radio on... when we went to dinner we pulled 2 tables together so we could spread our stuff out and study while we ate. We studied until 1 am Monday night and 3 am last night. Now just have to wait until the scores are posted.

Ughhhh, the waiting is horrible!! :eek:

If you felt confident J_9, don't sweat it honey. I am sure you did just fine. Congratulations on your freedom from finals. :)

I found this image while surfing around this morning.
