MacBook Crisis

Crisis solved but I'll give you the story...

Last night, tried to get Windows on my comp and it must have partitioned wrong or something and I ended up wiping my Mac OSX off my laptop and it sucked...

So then I went to the Apple store with my beautiful Brittany and they fixed it but I could have done the same thing as them if I had had the Apple store to fix it for me! All they did was reformat my hard drive with the Apple store network and then Josh proceeded to tell me about time machine so I wouldn't lose any information but would not help me with installing Windows. Or tell me why my iPhone is super quiet. I love Apple and all of its associates but some people are just no help...

So I'm back and rolling and gonna try to partition my system again after I print out some directions and do time machine. Hopefully I will get to play City of Heroes tonight. If not, so be it MacBook Gods!

Pilot: Blog 101

So here's a blog. It's Dan's blog. I can write whatever I like.

I've always thought about starting a blog for myself being internet savvy and such and with college starting and all I thought the timing couldn't be better. So here I go entry 1:

Went to sleep incredibly late and woke up incredibly early to go take placement testing for placement. Took the train and then listened to an annoying lady read the directions like a robot. "Please print your name in the squares provided and then fill in the corresponding bubbles underneath them." Ya I know I've been using these scantrons for like 10 years.
English easy, essay easy, math easy; it took 6 fucking hours though! I would finish one part and sit there for 20 min and so on and so forth like for 6 parts. Thought I would meet somebody but I didn't, everyone looked so bored and unapproachable like "just get me the fuck outta here so I can go home and smoke my brains out cause I'm a college student now!" So I tried to talk to people but it was all one word answers. I'm not worried about the social part of college though. Nor anything else about it. It's all very exciting and boring at the same time cause like it's new, but the probably just gonna be the same things I always do.

Anecdote: My mom just came in with like cleaning supplies and dumped them on my bed and told me to clean the bathroom (wtf?)

At least I'll have my freedom...

So then I got some food and was walking to my train when I ran into my - I don't even know how he's related to me I think he's my dad's cousin - cousin Andrew who works for the Technology Dept. at Temple and we chatted a bit and he's gonna hook me up with some bandwidth and stuff. Plus you can get cable in your room which is cool.
Ok, time to start the better part of the day.
Don't go away. More updates soon!
