Laptop problems cont.

So yup, my computer is indeed overheated. I downloaded a program which monitors the computer's temperature, and it says it's 53 degrees and therefore critical. Ahh, shit. Plus side, I haven't had any problems with my computer randomly shutting off, which seems the most common problem people have due to overheating. Seems like the main advice out there is to buy compressed air and clean out the fan, which I'll do, but odd thing is that it's not actually hot around the fan - it's hot on the other side (on the bottom and the keyboard - top right side, and the fan is at the top left side). Other people said that their computers were hot in the area where the fan is, so that seems a bit strange. But whatever, I assume it's the fan. I've had it for a year and a half, after all, and I do use it on my lap or occasionally on a bed/couch even though I know I'm not supposed to. I'll check out various stores at Pen Centre and see if they have compressed air, because I really don't want to trek out to Futureshop. I assume that Source would have it; they have ink and other computer stuff. Hell, might even head across the road tomorrow and check out Avondale - that place has everything. Best convenient store ever (anyone remember my printer USB cable for $1.99 story last September? Yeah.)

So, no work done on essay writing after all today, but did manage to find a number of articles this morning (took two bloody hours...) and have outlined the essay. Am relatively ahead of schedule, too, so feeling good. But want to get this one done by Monday or Tuesday latest so I can start essay #3. Blaaah.

One month exactly until I'm home! Woo hoo! Though getting stressed now, not only about school but about packing and sending stuff home and getting a stupid extension so I can stay in my room until I leave (rez rules suck). End of term is stressful enough without having to deal with hoping I can cram everything into my suitcases and then getting on a plane. Eeep. Am sick and tired of planes - been on far too many, it feels, in the past few weeks (RW, then Orlando... 4 trips within 2 weeks).

Guess I'd better turn my computer off now. Le sigh. Good night...

Are these things somehow based on our profiles? o.o Because the 'meow' thing and 'video games' are eerily apropos.

And don't get any ideas from this, bk635. XD Though it does sound fairly similar to how we'd spend an evening hanging out, heh.

1200 words done on my prison essay. Woo hoo! Now off to a rez thing - it's an 'iron chef' thing where we had to take a secret ingredient (chocolate) and make something from it. We made brownies and a chocolate lava cake, now off to get them judged. And eat them. Though I just had McDs, so not really feeling up to eating chocolate... o.o
