install

I’m jinxed. I had the WORST CD-ROM luck today. In my afternoon class we had to install Linux on our removable hard drives. Well, I kept getting bum discs!! First I had to go into the BIOS and switch the bootable drives, then my CD 1 paused out and I had to start over but my professor was messing with my machine and he put the messed up disc BACK into my drive without me knowing and of course after 15 of installing it paused out!!! I was so… ARG! So then I get a good Disc 1 but the 2nd disc just wouldn’t mount. I tried around 10 disc 2s till I gave up and said screw it. Left my professor a note and all. I wasn’t alone, a lot of ppl had installation problems b/c Linux doesn’t recognize the new hardware on these PCs (we are using an older Red Hat OS.)

So, about 2 hours later I’m in my night class… doing what? Installing Windows XP. Hit a few snags there too but in the end got it together. The disc my professor burned me didn’t work on boot-up. I tested it first but he blamed everyone for not “testing it correctly.” whatever that means.

Needless to say I came home with a headache ***sigh. After getting some food I felt much better and want to get some knitting in before it’s too late. My head is still a little o_o and I’m slightly irritated b/c Mike keeps calling me and talking to me while I’m trying to type this! hahaha, I know cute huh?… gets annoying after 4 years, hahahaha <3: luv you Mike.
