I lost my USB stick. The one that has all of my uni stuff and the beginnings of two assignments - none of which I backed up, as usually, I would. Am past freaking out (after several hours) and am beginning to start from scratch with stuff now. I'm just glad I still have my notes to work off!

Meanwhile, house hunting has gone more or less smoothly so far. Zach and I put in applications for one place today, so we'll find out by Thursday if we get it or not. *crosses fingers* I'll be extremely happy if we get the place, though at the same time depressed by my bank account figures going down to nearly nothing.. In any case, I'm trying to not get my hopes up and am trying to focus back on study.

Not at Zach's tonight and he's not at mine.. which is the first time in awhile. We've spent so much time together lately that it's super odd to be back at Ipswich, on my own. Not too hell-ish or anything though. Been talking with Bec a fair bit, which has been nice. I've also spent a few hours panicking over my lost USB (not quite as nice) and am now getting into study (and also snacking on random food items - whatever I can find in the fridge that hasn't expired :P). So yeah. USB loss aside, not a bad night.

Wow. I didn't mean to write an actual entire post! The plan was to write that I lost my USB and assignment parts.. and that was all. Guess I had a little more on my mind to share with you guys.

Oh! And while I remember, the past few nights I've been getting a bit more sleep. Pills from the doctors I've seen have been varied amounts of helpful. Mostly I've found just having Zach there, helps a lot. And cold & flu tablets at the moment, as without them I can barely breathe and sleep is nearly impossible then. :P So. Basically, improvements with sleep. Not a solid 8 hours a night, but enough that I'm not feeling as crappy as I've felt throughout the majority of August/start September.

How're you all going? I'll try to glance over my flist for a bit soon, but can't promise comments on every entry. Comment!updates are very welcome if you have something you'd like to share.

Sucks about USB loss.
Good to hear you're getting a bit more sleep!

Just three days until my one week break...must..make...it..

Does indeed. Lost some of my non-uni writings too. :( Am hoping it'll still turn up.. but moving on just in case it doesn't.

Sleep = ♥

Oooh! Good luck with that. :) Can't wait til I can say the same. Though.. well. I get a 10 day break as I never have uni on Mon or Tues so it works out rather well there..

Yeah, I could imagine. Funny enough I took my laptop into uni today for the 2nd time ever and I kept thinking of what new fics and things I'd saved onto it and not backed up onto my USB...and what would happen (or realistically how would I feel) if somehow my laptop got ruined and/or stolen! :/



Yeah thanks, tomorrow is my "long" day, 3 hr lab in the morning then a 4 hr break then my late afternoon or early evening lecture! :( And I've still got to finish (read do the majority of) my presentation for Friday... *sigh*

Ouch. That would be.. so much worse. Losing all that. I'd rather lose uni work than my personal writings. :S Might go back all my writing up now you've said that actually..



Wow.. okay. Again.. good luck.

Yeah it would. But I think I don't have too much to be sad about...I think I'll back-up check what I haven't got a double of anywhere...at least you have your external disks I don't. But I could...I just can't justify it right now. Yes, backing up sounds like a plan! :P

Thanks...I'll get through it somehow. Even if my presentation sucks (its only a small one that we *then* have to do an essay on on top of!) there have been a few presentations which were 'meh'. One girl was so nervous and she kept saying in the middle of things 'sorry don't know how to explain it better...' she was confident like no 'um...buts' but she kind of danced everywhere and lost track a few times. Even if I do something really basic and dry I shouldn't lose too many marks...I hope.

OH. LIE TO ME TOMORROW NIGHT AFTER MY LONG DAY YAY! XD

Yeah, true. Though there are other ways to back up that don't require actual physical stuff. Could upload online somewhere..

Hmm.. okay. Well good luck, yet again.

:D

Mmhm. Yes there are those options also, I know.

You can find it, I am sure ;) But mostly I am glad you are Ok again, let it stay like that and still, there could be 8 hours sometimes ;)

I'm not so sure.. so moving on and trying to go without it. If I find it later, then awesome. If not, I'll be okay with assessment, with the moving on without it thing.

8 hours would be amazing. But.. I'm good with just 3 or 4 a night if that's all I can get.

A wise woman always said you should want more than you have :D ...Sorry, its just worked here. So the blood test came out okay?

From: [identity profile] xfirefly9x.livejournal.com
Hmm.. true. Well I do want more than I have. But.. not to the point where I'll go insane or something if I don't get it. I can live with what I get. You know?

Blood test was fine, though I do have a mild iron deficiency.

Date: 2010-09-14 11:58 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] karlamartinova.livejournal.com
Yeah, I do. When I want something, in the end I realize that maybe I dont need or want it so much at all:)

*squish* HAI. You posted. It's sooo sucky that you lost your USB that totally fails. & house hunting sounds awful. I've done it more than once and I hated it. Good luck with that hey. & yay for writing and you being on LJ. By the way are you a member of ether ScifiLand or stargateland?

I miss my USB. Hopefully it'll turn up later. Meanwhile.. other uni work to do. Can't really afford to wait and see if it turns up..

House hunting isn't so bad.. so far. At least, not with having Zach around. :) But yeah. Will be glad when it's done with. Thanks.

Writing + LJ = ♥ Got sidetracked and haven't written yet though..

Not a member of any "land" comms. I was awhile back but dropped them all as they were taking up too much time and were too repetitive with tasks.

Losing your usb sucks :(
There's a folklore/spell I've used with limited success for lost things whereby you put a similar item with a (red for preference) rose -dried rosebuds work great out of season. So the matching earring to a missing one, or another usb stick in this case. Place it on your altar if you have one or in a nice dish or similar. Might be worth a try :)

That it does.

The folklore/spell sounds interesting. Going to try it.. I actually have dried roses in a vase on my altar already, and I just found another USB stick (really old, 125mb one!), so shall put those there for now. :) Thanks.

Ack, sorry you lost your USB stick. I hope it will turn up somewhere. :)

YAY for more sleep! :)

Thanks. Might have turned up at lost property at uni. Dropping by there in a few hours, shall see..

:) Sadly didn't get much last night though. Few hours. Guess that's better than nothing.

Oh noes!! Sucks about your USB stick!!! But, good thing about your Uni notes. :) I tend to have trouble reading my own writing lol.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes for you about your new place! :)

And, it's good that you're getting some sleep. In all honesty, any sleep is better than not getting any. And I think because you're also having a cold/flu, it's making it harder to sleep coz of breathing issues. But, once that hurdle is over, you'll be alright. :)

*HUGS*

Does suck muchly. But.. yeah. I'll get by.

Thanks. Still waiting to hear back. We were supposed to get a call today, but didn't.. so hoping that's a good sign.

:) Littttle sleep is better than none, for sure. Though I'd love more sleep. Much more.

*squish*

Ugh... I lost my usb in uni library once... all of my notes were on it. No backed-up of course. D:

If I had it backed up, it would never get lost. :S

:( That's sad. Hope you were able to do okay after that.

Yeah. True. It was stupid that I thought I could get away with not backing up for this long. I usually do.. and this one time I don't.. yeah. Sad.
