Holy cow. I hadn't realized it's been a week since I last posted to
Gopher. Things have been busy lately, especially since I've been
watching my one friend closely after he had a breakdown the other day.
He's okay now; I've made sure of that. And he's coming home with me over
Spring Break, which is even better. I can keep an eye on him, help him
relax, and have a good time. It's all gucci.
I'm still waiting on a response from Dr. Pearigen on the Computer
Science petition. I don't want to e-mail him and end up receiving a
premature response, but I am getting a little worried since Major
Declaration day is March 22nd, which is only 2 1/2 weeks away. If
nothing else, I'll just declare in applied mathematics, but to be honest
I'd really rather not. I also want my friend to be able to stay at
Millsaps, which isn't going to happen without them gaining Computer
Science. I'm really worried about that especially, since I don't want
him to have to be off in some new environment where he has no support
system and he's just a newcomer and an outsider. Other campus
communities aren't like Millsaps', and I really worry for him. I want
him to be able to stay here. It just requires Computer Science and
convincing his benefactor. *Please* get it back Millsaps. It's 2018. Get
with the program. For me, for him, and for future students coming to the
school. It's a big deal and it needs to happen. I'm praying, I'm hoping.
I need all the help I can get. //if anyone out there is rich, give money
to Millsaps College to get them to start a Comp Sci dept//
In other news, I ended up installing an SSD in my Alienware 13, which
I've barely used in over a year now because it would drag on and
barely work at all. I replaced the SSHD with a 7200 rpm HDD at one
point, but it made no difference. Rob gave me a Sandisk SSD a while
back, and while the capacity on it is only 240gb, I decided finally to
use it and make the laptop usable again. And thankfully it worked. The
installation is clean, the drive is in perfect condition, and the disk
usage stays at 0 unless there's *actually* something being done (by me).
It's honestly great, and it means I can go back to using my gaming
laptop without an issue. Maybe now I can finally finish Skyrim lol.
Also, again, I accept donations of any and all electronics,
books, video games, stationary, etc, and my college mailbox is listed
right here on Gopher. So if you want to make your junk my treasure, feel
free! I'd love to have it.
Now then, it's time to prepare for my exams and for Spring Break. And
probably sleep. Peace out, Super Dimension Fortress.
