You can has status update on Manji? =o

Right, so not a whole ton of stuff has really happened since the last journal..to name a few things:

I've been getting a little bored of Mabinogi...i dont intend to flat out quit it, but i'll probably take a break...but Nexon decided to put on an event to get free stuff, so i may pop on a lot more than i just said i would xP darnit Nexon

Search for a summer job = fail
Search for a job for the this coming semester at school = in progress
Research opportunity get? maybe. i'll let you guys know...if i remember >.>

Been playing Alundra a lot...like i should've been doing MONTHS ago when i got it xD
it really is a lot like Zelda...i spent like 25 minutes on one single room in this desert shrine x.x it was pretty rough, but it's still fun =3

I took my PC to the person that helped me build it to try and see if we could make it run faster. It turns out, there was a driver missing that we forgot to install...something called an SM Bus Controller...we missed it the first time because it didn't install right away from the disc. we had to manually find it on the driver disc =/ so when we tried to install the driver, it said Windows needed to be updated...when we tried to update windows, it said "something's wrong. could not update"...

so we just whiped the whole operating system and reinstalled it =3
unfortunately, when we were deleting the partition the OS was installed on, we found an odd partition that we didnt recognize, and we deleted that...that was my external hard drive...so i basically wound up reinstalling Windows, causing me to reinstall most of my programs, and reformatting my external hard drive, causing me to lose most of the program stuffs i had wanted to save that i put on that external hard drive. can you say "Baleeted?"

but my PC runs so much more smoothly now =3 before it took 15 minutes from the time i pressed the power button until the time firefox was usable...now..it only takes a little over 2 minutes which makes me very, very, very happy =3


last, but not least...i couldn't sleep last night....soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i stayed up til 7 am and beat Mother 3 =3 the ending was amazing. my mouth was just hanging open at a few parts. literally, jaw dropping. you wouldn't normally expect that from a very simplistically-designed and simplistic graphics-wise gameboy advanced game... normally....which just goes to show that the Earthbound series is amazing x3


and how am i doing? pretty good =3 i've just been doing whatever and hanging out with people irl. oh, and i cleaned my apartment when i got back on tuesday. we hadn't really cleaned it since we got it, and when i walked through the door on tuesday the place looked HORRIBLE. so i took the liberty of cleaning most of it. we just need to clean the bathtub and clean the kitchen. those are the only two places left.

anywho, that's all from me for now >.> so..
