Busy busy

Current Mood:Stressed emoticon Stressed

Ha thanks to all concerns about my issues with HP. Unfortunately I have given up in calling them every day. I am way too busy with school and I honestly dont know when I’ll be receiving my adapter. So much for that 1 year warranty which is completely useless…. My plan b consists is after this semester I’m going to go back to the store where I bought my laptop and get it fixed there. I did pay an extra 2 year warranty (which I almost refused). That should be enough time for them to fix my laptop before I start second semester.

Speaking of school, I really should be doing my assignment since I have 3 due next week. It’s just that that’s all I’ve been doing the entire week that I’m feeling lazy so I’m just in here playing with my laptop and playing the games that came with it. Technically I’ve done one of them just have to do some final touches. The other one is being worked on by someone. Yes I am a bad person for letting him do all the work but I have loads of assignments as it is. Plus after next week I have a 10 page essay that I have to do. I really should get that started this weekend… Argh… I’m in panic mode now… :nervous:

Finally after days of ranting about it.

Current Mood:Bored emoticon Bored

So yesterday I received a customer service survey from HP and decided to take it. Normally I wouldnt give a flying crap about doing surveys but due to my recent experience with HP I just had to voice my opinion. I gave most of them low ratings except for the agents. They were helpful and patient. It’s the fact that they said I would get the adapter in 14 business days (or something like that) and a month later I still have not received it. Also how it took them 3 agents to tell me that they were out of stock. :pissed: I also stated that after dealing with that that I would never buy another HP product again (which is true). I will never buy another HP product again. I was eye-ing this really pretty Toshiba laptop last month and I wish I had bought that one instead of this HP laptop. It’s white and it’s so pretty… Mind you, my HP laptop is cute, light and all nifty except this Toshiba is prettier and cuter. Anywho after all of that rant in their customer survey, I check my email the next day (today) and low and behold, I get a confirmation email stating that they have shipped my adapter and that I should be getting it tomorrow… :slant: So hopefully they live up to their email and I do receive this adapter. :)

Essay writing stinks.

Current Mood:Tired emoticon Tired

After hours and days of writing my essay, I’ve done one thing over and over again. Get distracted. This is why I need to be locked in a white room with nothing but my notes for the essay, a pad of paper, pen/pencil, table and a chair. I admit I dont usually get distracted this easily. Normally with all the noise and a tv in front, I can write a paper hours non-stop. Now with all the mess in my room, a desktop in front of me, I can just as easily go to facebook, check emails, go to msn and surf before I can even concentrate on whatever it is I am doing. :sowhat: Clearly this sucks. Next month once exams starts rolling in, I cannot be here. I can no longer concentrate at home because there’s my sister constantly yelling and a desktop pc that will tempt me to go to the sites that I usually go to.
I am clearly doomed… :ashamed: Speaking of which I don’t think my essay will end up being 10 pages as required by the prof. I always do this. I end up writing 2 pages short of what’s required. Last time I wrote an essay I ended up writing 6 pages instead of 8. That was after coming up with so-called clever ways to make it longer. Change the font, change the size, change the margin.. Still it was not enough. It’s happening again. I wish I had a class where there was no requirement on how long an essay has to be. That would make my life a tad easier… Therefore I don’t have to worry that it’s too damn short. :irked:

I feel like such an ass

Current Mood:Tired emoticon Tired

Ugh have you ever sent an email that came out so wrong that you wish you could undo it? It just happened to me tonight. I wrote an email to members of a group project and one of the members got so upset that he told me off. He called and ranted on me on why I did that that I should not have written that on the email. The more he explained himself the more I agree on it. A part of me still disagree with him on another issue but he was right that I never should have done that at all. It’s terribly embarrassing. I dont know if I could ever face him tomorrow in school without feeling all weird and guilty about it. I wrote the email after hours of frustration on what he wanted me to do an hour ago. I guess I wanted to make him suffer just as much as he’s made me suffer. I’m pretty vindictive like that. :devil: I have learned one thing though.. I could never work with him.. We just clash.. It’s continually annoying.. Sadly I have no choice since I’ll be in class with him for the next year and a half… Ugh this really stinks..
