I woke up, and I'm still tired :x

On top of that I had one of those shitty dreams that make me feel lonely when I wake up, but this time with extra shame.

Accidentally cocked up my Windows 10 upgrade, so it's just overwriting my Win8 instead of setting up a dual-boot. There goes... A lot of stuff, but thankfully nothing irreplaceable (I had the presence of mind to back up the few things that are truly irreplaceable). Mostly save games, some shitty 3D models, pictures that can be found elsewhere and freeware games.

The Windows 10 free upgrade overwrites existing Windows by default -to the point where it is literally impossible to set up a dual boot without upgrading your Windows, reverting back to Win8, and then setting up a new install from scratch because it needs to upgrade to generate a CD key. Fortunatley, except for Windows Media Center and a handful of programs (which it will tell you about when you install) it shouldn't touch a single byte of your data.

I came across a funny left-leaning political comic earlier today, but as I read through it it became increasingly clear that the author was the secular left-wing equivalent of an uneducated redneck religious nut.

The clincher was here when he started spewing "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" 9/11 conspiracy theory bullshit. It's a total non-sequiter; I don't think there's anybody anywhere claiming that jet fuel can melt steel beams. Anybody who thinks that the twin towers melted, or who thinks that the authorities are claiming they did, seriously needs to lay off the LSD. There was some new-age hippie luddite anti-technology bullshit in there earlier too.

It's a shame, because at other times the comic is really funny and sometimes makes really good points; but I don't think I can keep reading it, because I've lost all respect for it.

Also, I can't seem to break the habit of surfing the web on my phone when I'm supposed to be doing other things.

The curse of today, cliche as saying that may already be. Good for getting through long queues, terrible for attention span. And it's not like the phone can just be eliminated as a distraction, because a phone might be needed in case of an emergency.

Someone trying to do that would be a good setup for a horror or disaster film though

Anyway; in addition to the fact that I'm not supposed to be on it, I also end up bogarting my family's data plan.

Have just worked a night shift but I have things I want to do today and also people want to hang out with me.
I'm gonna be very stretched thin. Which sucks because I'm working tomorrow night too.

hrm

Exam coming up in a week, feeling uncharacteristically unmotivated to do anything about it despite it being a subject that i can actually handle. Mom's basically revving up to get angry about it already, telling me to "get going so i won't stand there on the last day with a stupid excuse like last time" (she has a point on the part about getting going, of course). Probably doesn't help that i haven't mentioned that anxiety is also a huge factor here. I haven't mentioned it because i fear that she'll just get angry about it, like she does with pretty much everything that she mildly disapproves of. I also don't think she realizes that you can't just rationalize anxiety away, and that shouting at anxious people only serves to further the harm.

She's a great mom, really, when you discount the temper that would make Cerberus go whimper in a corner. I just feel like i really need a break from all this university bahoogle, so i can sort out myself in the present before i sort out my future. It's really not easy to concentrate on a study when you're constantly being plagued by doubt and insecurity, especially when some of the doubts are "is this what i want to do with my life?" and the likes. Unfortunately, my dear mom, a very large figure in my life, doesn't really believe that a break would do me any good, saying that i'd just sit in the basement and game all the time away. I would game, for sure, but i'm bloody tired of not knowing what i want to do, so i'd probably, y'know, look around for things. Maybe even find some free time activities, once i have the excess.

The elementary school I went to when I was younger is currently on fire. It sounds like the structure itself is going to emerge mostly intact, but the smoke damage is still going to be ridiculous. Still hurts my feels/nolstalgia/memories.

I know how that feels. Sorta. They're going to demolish the school I went to for my first two years of schooling. :\
