lishesquexThis week is assessment week which means I get to stay home and happily procrastinate for 5 days while simultaneously being stressed as hell. So far I've stayed more or less on track. Two assignments down, three to go.
The last 5 days, I've been on dial-up internet because stupid Telstra screwed up our internet order and the new modem/installation package still hasn't arrived. When I called last Thursday they said it would arrive on Friday. When I called on Friday they said it would arrive on Monday. Tuesday at the latest. It is now Wednesday. I called earlier and they said "It's just left Sydney, and it should get to you by... maybe tomorrow, but probably Friday."
-.-
The sad thing is that my current dial up speed doesn't feel any different to the 256 kb/s ADSL I used to have. With the added bonus that Photobucket actually works again. Anyway, it's totally weird to hear the dial-up modem sounds again. It feels like I'm back in the year 2000 or something.
In other news, I had another traumatic cockroach experience yesterday. There was a big black cockroach on my desk, my desk! The most intimate and sacred part of my room. It crawled over my keyboard. It was on my mouse! >.<
It was my own fault. I got careless with bringing food into my room again. >.< Luckily, my mother and I teamed up, and armed with a slipper and a can of bug spray, we dispatched the vile beast with minimum casualties. And then mum was nice enough to get rid of the corpse for me, so I wasn't too traumatised. I then proceeded to sanitise my entire desk with tissues. *shudder*
Eurovision is this weekend and I'm really excited about it. I really hope I have new internet by then because I will need to download the entire Eurovision 2008 soundtrack after watching it. :D I know what you're thinking - my life must be really sad for the highlight of my month to be Eurovision, right? Well, all I can say in my defence is... WHAT WHAT IN THE BUTT.
