...you skip the first half of the semester in a class called "computer analysis" only to find out that you have a midterm three days later (tomorrow now )
...you laugh out loud at over half of the jokes in this post in a packed library during midterm week
...you lost your piggybacked internet connection and cant seem to function at home anymore
...you feel unsettled when you leave your flash drive at home
...you wish that $4,000 would appear in your account so you can finish your build, already
...you are a computer savior to your friends and family

Actually that's accurate for me.Apoptosis wrote:In the winter you don't have to turn the heater on in your house and in the in the summer you have to keep the A/C on full blast!
The sun shines into the PC room most of the day, so in the summer, AC is on full blast, and in the winter, I only warm the room at night.
