I’m struggling to get any coursework finished at the moment. I really can’t find a way to get around the block in my mind and it just goes blank. I think that I sound mad saying that but it really hard to decribe.

I was really pissed off by the end of today. Well firstly like I already said, I’m currently struggling to do any work which means I am slowly getting behind the coursework. I don’t know if it because I have extra pressure as they think that I am doing very well or something. I rather they would piss off and stop pointing out my grades to everyone. They making out I am more clever than I am.

Then the person I used to go out with in school and then was friends with untill recently at college have suddenly managed to get popular at college and have all these people at college to hang with and I am slowly becoming a loner. Each breaktime is currently painful for me as I don’t really have a proper friends at college. And a group I thought I was friends with just used me when they fell out with each other. I was in the middle of the war and then when they calmed down, blamed all their problems on me :(

So life pretty much sucks at the moment. Oh and I have a driving lession tomorrow which I am not in the mood to do but its too late to back out of it.

Slow drag of a day

On Wednesday I managed to call Dell to sort out my laptop problems I had were they said they planned to replace the motherboard and battery which is exciting. I tried booting it up just before the courier picking it up, to my horror that the OS wouldn’t load. They might be annoyed about that. I expecting a call from them cause of this..

Today I had the most slow day ever. I woke up early but somehow managed to leave it late to get of the house. Good job my teacher wasn’t in for the first lesson at college as she would of went mental at me. Walking to college wasn’t that pleasurable as it was really cold today and it were raining heavy in the morning. One arse of a taxi driver nearly soak me by driving though a puddle. All the paths were soaked and filled with puddles especially with the park which reminded me of when I tried doing the Ock Valley walk yesterday. I ended up with so much mud on my jeans.

Now I am considering tidying my room up so its all nice when I return from Disneyland Paris.

Dell and their sucky support for Ubuntu/Linux

200When I first heard of Dell preinstalling Ubuntu on a range of computers and laptops in Amercia, I was excitied and looking forward for it arriving to here. It wasn’t because I couldn’t install Ubuntu but the idea of Ubuntu being tweaked for the computer for you sounded good for me. So when I was shopping for a college laptop due the bad times with the one the college gave me, I went for Ubuntu as it was cheaper for it that way.

I wish I just spent that tiny bit more and had Vista on it as then I would of been treated normally. It would seem that the having Linux mean that their customer support freak out as their computers don’t have advice so therefore they blame your problem on Ubuntu and try to use that as a get out clause to direct you away telling you to call Dell Ubuntu.

It is quite clearly that Ubuntu isn’t the reason why my laptop isn’t charging as it doesn’t charge even when it shut down. The reason why it isn’t charging possibly because of a defective battery or a fault on the charging circuitry. Try telling Dell that. Well I did and asked them to have a look and if this is a case replace it under the Warranty. I haven’t yet had a response to this. Not even a automatic ‘We got your message response’.

I might get somewhere if I called them but their opening times is mostly when I’m at college and there not open on weekends. I wish my Dad would of helped me out but he is useless. When I had problems with my phone, he didn’t offer me any help and I was the one getting stressed out calling O2 when I needed to be doing other stuff.

Dell and their Ubuntu can get lost as far as I can see. I’ve been in contact with them I think since late October 2008 and their support hasn’t been impressive at all. Taking something like 2 weeks to response to a message is not appectable not is being treated like a idiot. I still got this laptop problem meaning it more harder for me to take notes at college. :(

Update: It would seem to be a more commen problem than I thought it was. I’m not buying anything Dell in the near future then.

If you like this post: please digg it. :)

I can’t hold chopsticks

I’m currently watching the X factor and with the housemates sitting on the floor to eat Thai. Well I am not eating Thai because I don’t want to look like a fool if I don’t like it and I can’t hold chopsticks. I hardly can hold a pen so being told its like holding two pens is alittle bit silly. They decided that they doing a Come Dine With Me style thing and they recording the cooking so they can cut it all together. I want to eat some fish fingers and chips but I feel I look a tad out of place and I feel embarrassed by my food diet. I am sooo going to eat loads of stuff I never tried before this week.

I feel my single relationship status when I see other people cuddling and being romantic in general. I miss I am so glad that I haven’t added many people from my college as some of them would be surpized with some of the stuff on it. I been thinking how odd and sometimes painful it is still meeting up and being friends that you no longer hooked up with and seeing them snog and hug someone else. Dan that is, I so wish I blogged more about him.

I haven’t seen Megan in ages and she only lives behide the house of mine. That another person I went out with however with her I think I made her have a great hate for me. I don’t know why, maybe cause I didn’t feel much love for her. I never kissed with her. I did offer to go out again with her and she was like, fuck off.

Anyways, my fingers are hurting already as I’m writing this on a small keyboard of a Acer One. I nearly paniced as the wifi stopped working after a upgrade but a backport sorted the problems out. Haha, I said backport, I’m a proper geek.
