Gah, I wanted to install RoughDraft and Opera on this computer, but they evidently put restrictions back on it so I can't install anything... not fair. I bet the other computers, the shitty ones, don't have restrictions... well, true, they use Win95 as an OS ¬¬
You see, we have four "working"computers in the computer room here at uni. Two have Win95, two have Win2K.
Win95 #1 works more or less fine, though it has this odd problem where icons on the desktop keep going round and round and round... they switch positions every few seconds. ¬¬ I suspect a virus or something... I'm not touching that computer with a ten-foot pole. No way. I may use it for casual surfing, but I'm not putting any diskette in it or saving any file off it.
Win95 #2 is in dire need of a reformat and reinstall. It used to work fine, then I don't know what happened but now it only works in 640x480, 16 colors, and Explorer crashes / it bluescreens every few minutes.
Win2K #1 works fairly well, though it's slow as fuck so I usually avoid using it. Plus it doesn't have mIRC installed.
Win2K #2, this one, is arguably the best computer of the lot, though it won't install the Flash plugin no matter what (no, it's not because of the restrictions - those appeared yesterday/today, I reinstalled mIRC on this machine on Wednesday fine). So I wanted to install Opera and RoughDraft on it, mostly because it suffers from RAM deprivation, and IE and Word are memory hogs, two IE windows and one Word window are enough to slow the computer to a crawl. While Opera and RoughDraft take up less resources, and work fine for what I do with this computer (ie. casual surfing, the random typing of bits and pieces of essays).
Oh well. Their loss.
This room is such a cemetery of computer parts... 8 monitors, 3 (non-working) towers, one mouse, three keyboards.
Which reminds me. This keyboard is half-broken, some of the keys have to be mashed down to make them work. After I've posted this entry, I think I'll go pillage one of the spare keyboards and see if they work better. No harm in trying, yeah?

Note to self: download the new version of RoughDraft when home.

Update on my university work woes:
- Information Technology essay - done!
- Part of year II project - done!
- Year II project website [shouldn't take long, hopefully]
- "Creative Psychology" "diary", due Monday [I think I can pull this off in an afternoon or so]
- "Creative Psychology" project, ~10000 words, due whenever I finish it (in a week or two) [*whimper* this scares me... how in the world will I be able to write ~10000 coherent words on the kind of stuff my teacher spews?]
- My part of History of Journalism project, due Wednesday [eep. this was an entirely unexpected deadline, I thought I'd have more time. oh well. I have an idea of what to do for it, so it's simply a matter of going to the bookstore, getting the relevant book, reading said book, and writing a summary of it for this project thing.]
- The Editing & Publishing project [this one has the farthest deadline - around the 27th of June - and is something I'll do quickly, and something I like doing, so I'm leaving it as the last thing to do]

^^; That should be all, I think. I hope I'm not forgetting something. So yeah... don't expect me to blog much until I'm done with everything.
Unless of course I'm at uni with nothing better to do, like right now. I knew I should have brought stuff to do, but I was planning on having the day full of classes... Information Technology in the morning, and Spanish and Principles of Marketing in the afternoon. But I ended up having to skip Principles of Marketing because I had an unexpected meeting with the Didactic Coordinator (or whatever, I forget what the guy's exact title is) regarding the unpaid internship I'll have to do this summer. And I just finished the meeting, and it's rather pointless to go to class having missed an entire hour... oh well. Not that I mind.

I turned in the Information Technology essay this morning. All my classmates had not finished it, I was the only one who turned it in today. Yay, go me. ^^v The teacher seemed to like it, too. We spent the whole morning discussing it (while my classmates worked on collecting information for their unfinished essays) and then chatting about various stuff, like writing stories. I like the guy, he's nice.

*wonders idly if said teacher will get to this blog* I gave him the address for my collective. Most people who visit my collective never get to my blog, oddly enough. It's linked right there off my front page at the moment... oh well. *waves to her teacher* If you got here, do drop a comment.

I wonder, I wonder... on Monday I have a meeting for an unpaid internship in a company. They're looking for somebody to help them design their website. It would be really convenient, too, as the company is in the same city I study in.
And today I got another proposed internship, in this other company, still based in this city, which is also looking for somebody to help them with their website. I said I'd go to the meeting on Monday with the other company first, see how that is, see what they want for me, and maybe request a meeting with this company. Hrhm.

...wow. Long entry. Ph34r teh wordiness.
