Oops, been so stressed about everything that my lungs have been bothering me on and off for a solid two days now.

Gonna fake insurance information just to get my car plates, my mom has so little money that she currently owes me $60, the manager that has been giving me shit hours should be back next week, and I dunno how I'm going to pay to fix my car with its issues that are only now popping up. (So either my friend lied about all of its issues, he didn't know of these issues, or these issues literally happened while sitting in my parking lot. Don't want to believe the first one, hoping it is the second one, and doubt it is the last one.)

That's just part of my stress, welp, gonna get gray hair before I'm 30. I just know it.

[Lemonray]

The stress monster is back. So are my shoulder/neck pains.

Sometimes, I wish I could just forget things completely. At the same time, I don't want to forget these things either.

Hm.

[Maxpphire]

Can't fake the insurance information because who the hell gets insurance before a car. No one. thanks mom for being so smart.

I'm annoyed because I've had a headache for a while now, but it isn't caused by looking at a computer screen.
It's because I jumped on a trampoline, ran, and jumped off swings for too long a time yesterday.
Sometimes I act like a child.

just had a virus scare

shit, first red flag was that I was using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox (my main browser). But there wasn't any red flagging after that; I pretty much click a link to a news site on my dad's website, and it had a weird article that was just some quote on life. I bring up the fact that it's my dad's site because he's huge on information security, and it's pretty much his job to clean computers from malware infections. Naturally, I closed the article, then proceeded to go to Youtube (I use IE almost purely for browsing Youtube). Then, the page started popping up without my control, and I almost shit myself. I closed the pop-ups, and multiple ones took its place. None of my anti-virus software began to alert anything at the time, but I couldn't stop them from popping up.

So I flipped the power button to stop it all.

I rebooted, kept my internet off during the reboot, nothing popped up when I started up again. I ran a Malware Bytes quick-scan, and it said I was clean. I ran a Symantec scan, and it said I was clean. I deleted all of my temporary internet files and cookies on IE. I rebooted my internet, nothing came up. I ran a second Malware Bytes quick-scan, still said I was clean. I think I'm in the clear now, I just did another reboot to check and see if there was anything malignant (there wasn't).

Jesus Christ, I can't afford to lose this laptop of mine. This isn't one of those "I'm addicted to the internet and vidja gaems" kind of deals, this is the only thing I've got that's keeping me in contact with my professors regarding assignments and work in general. This is the only thing I've got to access professor notes and various other necessary files that I need to study from. This is the main place where I need to finish a 27-page project for a 4-credit class, keep in contact with groupmates on finishing a different project in a 3-credit course, keep in contact with my CS professors/co-workers in case there had been a mishap in a code I wrote and I need to re-run it on my end so they can complete their exams, access the textbook pages for another 4-credit course very relevant to my major, finish a resume for a co-op class... And, this is all going into finals week.

I'm legitimately shaken up right now, my entire term could have blown right the fuck up in my face if something happened to my laptop. I'm talking outright failing some courses because I couldn't prep for final exams, or finish final projects. If this happens, I lose a literal fuckton of scholarship money, money that's permitting me to attend this college, and money that prompted me to choose this school over the other offers I got two years ago. Oh, and did I mention these credits don't transfer? Because these credits don't transfer.



Thankfully this venting's making me feel better. I need sleep, anyway.

drop what you're doing and back up all of your school files onto a flash drive right now
if you dont have one go buy one

make sure you have multiple copies if they're that important

[Lemonray]

Why am I so god awful at animating? :<

Also, there are days when I'm so full of stress from so many things I just feel like dying. Days like today.

already did that with the everything

but what I need is the internet access, which would have been the main thing affected if I did get a virus (namely, my college'll shut off my internet if I get infected with something nasty. So I'd have a broken computer, and no devices to hook up to it afterwards). Going to computer labs to get my final assignments and to read up on exam material wouldn't have been feasible :C

Like I said, though, nothing came up and my computer isn't flipping out. Not gonna do anything on IE for a good long while though!!

[Devicho]

uhm

I'm not even a little sure what my sisters did to this computer. At least it's not my computer but uh

[Butler]

What the hell?? Your sisters have managed toobsure just the webpage and nothin else.
Is that possible?
any way sometimes i get really deppressed after playing videogames for a while, and end up wondering what use am i, what the hell i'm going to do when i grow up, how hopeless i'am and how i don't like videogames at the moment because they've just made me godamned deppressed.
This happens frequently, and bascally ends with either sleep, playing some more or watching TV.
I'v also got one week to finish my best essay, which is 3000 words, been OCRed badly and to be checked several times until next Friday.
I should be doing it right now, but the deppression is stopping me from feeling up to it.

[Lemonray]

Another day wasted doing absolutely nothing.

[Kriven]

lmfao. Every fucking time plans are made, you reschedule the day the plans are to happen without any actual prior warning. Kind of getting really sick of this shit.

[Vipershark]

so my concert tomorrow got rescheduled to freaking JULY

ugh

[Lemonray]

Feeling ill again.
And, I've been having trouble sleeping these past couple of days.
