Wow, that's a lot of stuff. The only thing I have trouble doing is going through my starred feeds and doing something with them. That requires time I don't have.
Alex and I are taking a little road trip to Springfield, IL this weekend. Saturday is when Barack Obama is announcing whether he's running for President...we decided we wanted to go.
We were procrastinating on actually deciding if we wanted to go this weekend but we finally decided for sure yesterday. We'll stay at a hotel for one night on Friday (they were filling up as I was making my reservation this morning!). The press conference is at 10:00 am, and if there's time we'll probably try to go to the Abraham Lincoln museum again while we're there (I love that place!) Although I'm sure there's other things to do in Springfield that I'm just not aware of...
Then we'll probably stay with Alex's parents in Bloomington on Saturday and head home on Sunday. I have a crazy amount of work to do too so we'll see how this works out. I'm leading class discussion on DRM in two weeks for my digital copyright class and I need to come up with about 6 or so articles for the class to read. Since I may be without sufficient access to the internet while I'm gone I might have to look for those this evening. This evening we also need to pack. Usually we do this at the very last minute but I work until 5:00 tomorrow so that means we won't be heading out until after then...that means we won't even be in Springfield until midnight or later. I also want to clear the pictures off my camera before I leave...I've been taking a picture a day but I haven't been posting them so I have some work to do with those. I need to have plenty of space on the camera for the pictures from this weekend though :)
Ok, so I haven't ordered it yet, I have to get my financial aid money first but I'll be ordering it as soon as I get that. I ordered an external hard drive this weekend...something we desperately needed anyway. I want to transfer things to that and clean up my current computer so I'll be prepared for my new one.
I'm really psyched about getting Windows Vista too, I don't know why but I just want to play around with it!
I would also be nice not to have to carry this 8 pound beast to school. The new computer I'm looking at is a couple of pounds smaller but even a couple of pounds will help. I think I almost threw my back out yesterday...I need one of them bag on wheels things, but honestly I probably won't ever get one because it makes people look like they're at the airport and not at school.
Oh my gosh! THIS prevented me from getting to work on time this morning! I-94 was closed entirely and they were routing traffic off on Rawsonville Rd. Since I normally come home Rawsonville I decided to just skip the interstate mess and take the backroads...of course I was already supposed to be at work by the time I got onto Rawsonville. Wouldn't you know I also got stopped by a train taking the backroads. I got into work at 9:00 according to my car clock and 9:10 by the clock we usually open the library doors by. I was running around like a mad woman trying to get everything open. I don't even want to get into how the rest of the morning went, it was pretty much crazy for the next couple of hours.
So because some moron decided to pull up his sock while driving my entire morning started out crap! Thanks!
Luckily everybody is ok, it sounded like a pretty crappy accident...
