transomwhiplassOk. Let me try to explain.
We have two hard drives. One with a measly 10 GB, another with about 50. Since the dinky one is the default the computer puts everything there by default causing stuff to crap up. If there isn't space there, certain programs won't download.. photoshop doesn't work. It's a nasty mess but we have been peacefully co-existing for months now, so why bring it up?
I was trying to install the OBNOXIOUSLY large file for javascript so I could finish my final at home so I can sit and look all hoity-toity while Ms. Stasio crams it up her ass. She's been ticked that she can't really nail me for not having a laptop. The thing is broken beyond repair, it would be HEARTLESS to make a senior repair something for one class. It hasn't mattered because we do group work. My dumbass underclassmen classmates (senior year has been the only year I've ever had classes with younger people, I have drawing that way too; for the last 3 years I've been with upperclassmen in two classes, but never underclassmen) provide there laptops which pretty much kick the might-as-well-be-a-Babbage-adding-machine doo hickey that is currently serving as a paper weight in my house and I do the assigments. Java is not hard, its simple but it requires that you actually learn & apply, something the others haven't mastered yet. Sorry, I'm in a bitchy, pretentious mood. Anyway, last week Ms. Stasio (I was alone with her - the first there because I come from the room next door) asked in a biting tone, "so what are you going to do for your final, you need a computer.. this is an individual assignment." Me, as pleasant & sugary sweet as possible, "you know.. that is a really good question, thank you for giving me plenty of time in advance to sort this out. I'm sure I will be able to use a friends. ::cavity inflicting smile back::" Anyway, in a TOTAL panic... I borrowed Steph's computer to give the image of working today and then resolved to do it at home. The software takes FOREVER to install. It's awful. So I got home and started downloading it immediately. But once the installer was downloaded, "You do not have enough room on x-drive." It wouldn't switch to the other one, I was royally pissed. I decide the only thing to do was to clean the 120 MB necessary off. So after much searching, I realized I had a personal folder in C, hogging a whopping 500 MB. I deleted it. What would happen was sort of beyond me. I accidently deleted the file that operates my 2000 account so ALL of my customization of my account was gone. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. All of my emails from over the year, settings, saved passwords. I had to re-do everything. I'm so pissed off. However.. I did finish my program. It works already and it is due Friday. Yay for me. Tomorrow I can like, nap first period.
I got a 92 on my English paper (92/95). I was so thrilled. Considering the state I was in when I wrote/corrected it. THANK GOD.. she made us do a rough draft, I would have died. It's really funny, the first 4 pages "very good, nice writing, well formulated, interesting point, excellent statement," and it steadily declines into many formatting errors. LOL. It was between 4-5 AM when I was putting finishing touches on it (that was the all nighter - my second at SAA). I'm pleased with my grade, I beat several people I consider "intelligent" so I'm doing a happy dance and stuff.
We finished the paper.. sorta. We sent it in with a rogue copy/paste image I couldn't nail down (which was also causing a color error to pop up) and a font that their stupid checking program said we used but the pagemaking program said we didn't. UGH. I HATE OUR PRINTER'S AND THEIR STUPID PROGRAM. UGHGHGUGGH. I conceded on a few of the pages, I would have liked to perfect them with the maximum potential of my O.C. anal retentiveness but I had to yield. We were so chit chatty Saturday that we got nothing done. Blah. Most of it looks fantastic, if I say so myself.. its just features, spread, & SAA history that could have used some small tweakings and at least another combined 3 hours.
I personally thought that today's mass was absolutely awful. The singers, yikes.. I'm not into the Live Teen thing. Honestly, if I'm being compelled to participate in the Catholic faith even when I have logically come to the conclusion that I cannot believe in much of it (thanks to, ironically, my Catholic school).. I would rather participate in the bland, formal, & traditional part. I'm sorry, a Gregorian chant is less ackward for me than beating a tamborine and strumming a guitar. I always thought the "Jesus Freaks" and new age-y stuff they do was something Evangelists invented, that was the one thing I appreciated about Catholicism. Even if yes, Catholicism means universal and yes is all about community, there is something personal about the Catholic faith - its just, well.. Evangelical & preachy. Its solemn and firmly rooted, frivolous practices are not necessary. But "God's Choir" wasn't what really disturbed me. It was the nature of the homily. Now perhaps, I've been in Mr. Westerman's class too long - I've just grown accustomed to wanting to disagree with everything he says. Let me explain as briefly as possible. We had a huge discussion about feminism, and the pill which he hypothesizes "started feminism" because it disconnected women from the necessary role of motherhood. It made sense to me actually, the whole discussion which I won't get into. Just trust that if he convinced me, who would impale him on a giant pike and wave his head around on a stick, concured on a matter I feel as strongly about as feminism - the point was well stated. I agree that motherhood is something specific to our gender, I don't think it is something to be ashamed of or a role that should be destroyed - rather something that should be embraced and celebrated, I mean.. a guy couldn't carry a life around and take care of it.. well... if he was a seahorse, but whatever. The mass really pushed the point to far. The priest was comparing Mary and Eve. Basically, he was stating that Eve who made the free choice on her own came up with sin. On the other hand, sinless and "good example" Mary, conceded to God's will and was "willed into" taking on motherhood, her proper role. I know that doesn't sound well prhrased.. I can't really explain what he said because a lot of it was "how" he said it. Basically it conveyed to me through his diction and tone, women should follow men.. motherhood is their absolute duty and if someone with autority wills it -it shall be done. Eve, independent free-choice maker, is now forever to blame for sin in the world because she was trusted in this way and screwed it up - women can't be trusted to choose what's right. That is what it conveyed to me. I wish I could phrase it better but it was really disturbing. While I agree motherhood is a important role that women only can exclusively play.. I don't think that "just any" authority has the right to deem it - "you.. have my child, I'm the guy.. I'm in charge." I don't know. I really didn't like the mass. It pissed me off.
Ok, well I'm getting tired. I hope the paper sent so I don't have to worry about anything similar for another few months. I really, really, really want to be exempt from my Econ. final (I could go see LOTR on opening day!!). I hope Ms. Stasio accepts my java program and isn't all nitpicky like "you could have done this.. or add this. or now you can help so and so.. or... well, you can compile all the parts together." Blah. I'm seriously tired and going to bed.

You're right
Date: 2003-12-09 01:09 am (UTC)Stupid woman accused me of cheating my sophomore year.
I was sitting in the hallway, recopying my geometry homework because I thought it looked too messy. Stupid woman walks up to me and is like, "WHOSE homework are you copying?!"
"My own. It's messy. I'm redoing it."
Then she proceeds to snatch my papers from me, compare 'em, and then hand them back. She just walked away after that. No apology or anything.

Mr. Westerman HATES feminism. I know, a lot of what he said made me really angry. But then again, Plato was totally a misogynest. Or whatever that word is. So consider who he's getting his info from. :P
