Four point oh

Ok not too shabby for a first semester. 4.0 gpa. I would have been happy with a 3.0. So...I'm enrolled for next semester already. And I've begun taking apart my first computer. I need to buy some thermal compound before I go any further. It sure makes a big difference working on a junker computer and working on your own gaming computer which I would not attempt just yet.
I took the heat sink out of the junker, and cleaned the fan blades, and now I need some thermal compound before I put it back in. Actually I put it back in already but only just to see if the computer was getting power to it, it is, but that is all that's getting power is the cpu cooling fan.
Oh and the little green light in the back of the tower. So the power supply is getting power and the fan is, but ...we don't know what goes on from there. We'll take a look at the motherboard. I had a good long look inside the old computer. It's an HP. It's very old. And yet it doesn't look near as scary as one might have thought. It's pretty simple actually. You don't have to know how to put a motherboard together, you just have to know where it goes and what goes on it and it's all pretty straightforward. Lots to learn though.
I got that 4.0 and now all I want to do is rest my brain.
Today at work was very very hard. Busy all day, no rest for eight and a half hours. I'm trying to be very cheerful in order to get a decent bonus. That comes tomorrow.
But I want a different job at least so I can have pain in different parts of my body for a while.
Last night went to 3 Legacies with Liz, she gave me the book I'd heard about on NPR..."Lit". I can't wait to read it.
Today at work coworker gave me a VCR tape of "Heathers". ... (What's your damage?)
that was sweet of him.
I got a card from I ; and we went to lunch Monday at Surin of Thailand. That was nice. Her hubby works at some computer place over by Calhoun. WE dropped something off over there. Very good to see her.
They live not six minutes from me... I could walk there. I might someday!
So tired. So happy that xmas is almost over.
