And it’s 4am. I woke up ill and knackered this morning - like you know when you have a dizzy spell, and the thing you’re looking at seems to be coming closer and going back and coming closer again all distorted and yeah.
My own fault for not eating properly (hey, my budget’s happy =P) and it’s gone now, but it’s been work, and maybe a bit of chilling out, then work again. Eating means preparing, and then cleaning up, and then cleaning up in general and two hours lost that could have been work, or sleep, or relaxation time (which somehow is higher priority than food O.o but relaxing helps me work better than eating does. And generally, the day is my most productive time, resulting in not being finished or taking a break until either the shops are shut or it’s not safe for me to walk the alleyways to the 24-hour superstore.)
Note to self: Do not ever think that finding software to make a DVD with menus is going to be remotely easy. You’d think “Ok, 7 day trial but I only need it today so it’s all good!”. Oh no.
It’s a 7 day trial, AND it won’t actually save or burn.
It’s a 30 day trial, with a godawful watermark.
It’s a 14 day trial with no watermark, but it can’t read .avis, or .wmvs, and that converter you just downloaded needs a codec, for which the link is broken and it doesn’t tell you how to install/use it.
It’s one of the… about (edit: Not 7. I counted. 12…ok, I exaggerated in the thread =P) things I installed and uninstalled that fucked up explorer whenever I tried to open my documents so even after saying “Fuck it, I’ll just merge them all, they’ve got a pause button!” I was still stuck until I solved that. (On the plus side, I now know how to start explorer when there’s no start menu or desktop or etc, which… could be handy? One day? When it blows up again and won’t restart itself?)
And then movie maker. I’m sure I don’t actually need to go into how much movie maker sucked, but it was actually more than usual. As in “I selected the only 5 second clip with no sound on the timeline and it crashed, AGAIN!”
But now I’ve got everything finished, I’ve discovered that essays aren’t nearly as tolerable as they were in 6th form when we were doing one like, every other week.
This weekend they have works on the trains. Which means I can’t risk staying in London til Monday morning in case they overrun and I’m stuck. And then late. For my second 10am deadline. So instead it’s a lovely replacement bus.
Last time I got a replacement bus, its engine started smoking and we had to pull in and wait for another replacement bus to trundle along, and I ended up sitting next to a smelly bloke on a seat that was held up by the person behind me’s knees. The journey’s not as long, but still mleeeh. I still need to print out an aims and rationale, synopsis and evaluation and so on so I guess I can do that sunday night. And to send my loan request form home so parents can sign stuff and get it sent off before the end of May. Cutting it close but I can’t find my NI number and I won’t get it unless I do ¬_¬ (I know I’ve got it here, I just can’t find it)
Time to try to sleep and get… 3 hours, ish. I did sleep until 12 today, so hoping I’ll be fine.
Edit: Thanks Decay, Raven (sorry I didn’t reply earlier! ), those comments made me feel better about stuff. I think it’s just one of those things that just reoccur in your head when you’re not feeling that well and just make things worse.
