After nearly half a year not participating in the SETI@home project by BOINC, I have finally taken the time to install the BOINC client on my laptop, which basically means I'm back into participation.
My brain keeps saying that I may be receiving something or doing something or whatever but I have no idea what it is. All I know is that it's most likely from the anxiety from my upcoming piano test...
Nothing much really happened today except for me completely messing up the face of the mask I'm making in art...
Woohoo! I managed to get my parents to allow me to take chinese next year in high school instead, allowing me to actually choose what I want!!!
I was signing up for 8th grade classes earlier, and I found out that Chinese 1B takes up twice as much time as before, making it impossible to choose more than one class other than Chinese, and my parents are forcing me to choose that instead of anything else, so I can easily say GOODBYE to anything fun for the next year. ;_;
I've had a school break on Thursday and Friday, and instead of the usual "Oh, hey, I get to do whatever I want for the next four days!" that you would expect, NO. I had to practice piano over, and over, and over and over again, and on Sunday, I practiced for 6 hours straight throughout the day... The only decent thing I was able to do was fix a dead battery on a computer motherboard for five minutes. :P
Over the weekend, not only was I denied the chance to get some vintage computer history for $30 total compared to the original price of >$5,000, but I learned that I will be spending practically every single minute of free time practicing piano for my upcoming two tests on February 13-14, which I don't even want to do. I am really depressed right now, due to testing at school and piano practice, lack of money, and my brain nagging me about missing a chance to buy a cheap IBM-PC 5150 clone computer (Which is literally almost exactly like the real thing except with a fujitsu 8088 processor clone and half height floppy drives.) Sometimes, I just feel like the world is trying to torture me...
I was playing volleyball in gym today, and I ended up spraining my finger after a speedball hit the joint on the back of my finger, which twisted AND hyperextended it.
Today at school I was standing by the window in the back of school during lunch holding my phone to make people think that I was recording them, when my phone was really both out of power and turned off. The group of girls sitting next to the window just freaked out until i told them that my phone's dead.
I have both run out of ideas, and my brain is nagging me that the MultiCore project is just going to be another failure that I would carry for the rest of my life. Now, I'm feeling a little depressed...
