the love/hate relationship

If you haven't already heard, my desktop pc died.for the 4th time since i had it shipped over to tassie back in may 2010.
And it chose to die at the most 'convenient' moment. right when i was about to save the 4th and final board for my third presentation this semester.
People always say "Look at the bright side". To put it that way, i guess i am lucky. cos the presentation was not assessed. I just risk making a fool of myself if i came in empty handed presenting to this architect who's a director at one of melbourne's top archi firms.

So, although i had to scrap my plan to have an early night's rest, i slaved the night away for that last board and managed to stun him (good and bad) with my 'beast' of an idea. He has these expectations in his head. and now....i just know i won't be able to live up to it. how ironic.

Anyway, back to the point....i made the jump to splurge on a new workstation. SPLURGE is the right word. noone in their right mind goes about getting a new set-up 5 weeks away from the end. When people were enjoying the weekend, i was busy pc shopping...and installing...and 3 days later....i'm finally all set to go! :)

Don't get me wrong. I'm not rich. far from it. but if the old desktop just decides to die again (and at the 'right' moment at that), having to postpone my graduation would be a true nightmare!

Will update my progress when i think i've made significant ones. heh.
