A coumputer guy finally came to our computer, and not the other way around. As it was, the power shortage had caused the freezing. The new powercable fixed that problem, so they tried to put the soundcard back in, to see if we still could use the surround system we have. Figures, the sound problem came back. So now it’s a fact, that the Athlon processor/motherboard we have isn’t compatible with the SoundBlaster soundcard. But while we sent the computer to be fixed, several times, they failed to take the motherboard’s own soundcard into use. So the guy who came today did that, and now we can use the surround system. I’m overly happy, because this means the sound works, and it means that it works with the three different outputs, rear right and left, right and left, and center, which it didn’t after they took the SoundBlaster card out for the first time. And I thought it was me who caused all this hassle.
That’s only one less source of stress. I sleep too little, and I’m so tired at work and school. I’m trying to get back on track with the help exercise; I’m going to a gym class today after school, and tuesday, thursday, and friday. I’m still in terrible shape, I haven’t exercised much in the last year and a half. Not since I went to evening school, anyway. So let’s see how it goes, do I have the motivation to go to the gym four or five times a week. I know it will help my sleeping, and it will definitely get me in a better mood.
I think I’ve taken a bit too big of a bite. If someone ever tells you that going to two schools at the same time is easy, don’t believe them. It can be a bit easir if you don’t care about the outcome, but me being a super perfectionist…nah, it’s very near to hell. You just end up hating yourself for being lazy and not working enough.
On a lighter note, I actually found a new pair of trousers on Friday. I almost gave up after half an hour, when mom pulled out a pair of black semi-formal trousers from the rack. I kept saying my hip’s too wide for them (which it is, my ass is huge…), but figures they still fit, and there was even a bit room left for moving! So now I have black, and even good-looking trousers to wear at work. Now I only need new training overalls, and trainers. My old ones are all bloated after they’ve been washed a couple too many times.
I found out that there’s a Buffy game for Playstation 2. I don’t know when it was released in Finland, but there’s only been one for Xbox until now. Not only that, I want the Quidditch World Cup game, which is released this week, and the Return of the King game, which comes out later this month. And then there’s the Wolverine game, which I’ve heard is surprisingly good, and then the good old Indiana Jones in Emperor’s Tomb. I only want that one because I loved Fate of Atlantis. Very old school, but it’s very challenging to get through the clues and stuff.
This means only one thing. I need at least three new memory cards, though I would want one for each game, and I still haven’t got my additional controller. Each game is around 65 euros, and a memory card two-pack is 45 euros. The controller is a little under 50 euros. So yes, it means I won’t be getting them all, because I’m not that rich. And I would like to have the other consoles, GameCube (Zelda!!!) and Xbox, maybe gameboy advance as well. More games. 
Less money. 
(I don’t think I have enough room for all of them, but one can always dream…)
