days that make hell look not so bad

so it's been awhile since i last spilled some thought onto this digital canvas, so i figured i'd take some time out of my incredibly bad day to reflect and try and convince myself that it really isn't all that bad. but the real reason is i'm just procrastinating since i really don't feel like redoing my entire presentation about beijing's hutong which was conveniently saved in PPT format on my now deceased computer.

that's really the crux of it all. i've been staying up late sneezing and coughing trying to get this amazing presentation off the ground. in fact this is probably the first time in a long time i've truly prepared for a presentation. the ppt had everything from pictures to videos to notes below each slide to help me along the way. today i was gonna go over the presentation and get all the grammar structures firmly grounded in the mushed up brain of mine. i even had a teacher correct all my stuff, and make suggestions. and then my computer wouldn't start. this usually happens; i wasn't worried. then it wouldn't start again, and i started to wheeze. i've been sick for the past three days, did i mention that? then it wouldn't start again. well by the 345th time i gave up believing my computer and i just needed to rest after a couple long nights of work. so i took and nap, my computer took a nap, and i woke up feeling sicker than ever and my computer might as well have taken a shower cause it was useless as ever. so here i am in ACC's luxurious computer room. coughing up hateful words gazing soberly a a computer screen wanting nothing more than to go to bed.

and i haven't started studying for my final yet. this presentation has taken that time. perhaps i'll just sleep it all off and go back to the states.

and here's a picture i took:
