Here's the situation: My assignment is due tomorrow, so I have to post it by today in order for it to arrive in Wellington on time. I decided I'd put the finishing to my assignment as soon as I got home last night and so it'd be all ready to send by today. My laptop didn't agree though...
When I got home, I tried turning on my laptop but while it turned on, nothing appeared on the screen! It would momentarily turn on but as soon as I moved the cursor it would go black again!
I had no idea what to do, and so tried taking out the hard drive, thinking I could maybe plug it to my external hard drive connection thing. I had to get Aonghas to help me over Skype since he was working at uni till midnight. Anyway it was all a waste of time since it turns out my hard drive is too old to use the connection!
Fortunately I had a saved version from a week ago on my USB drive, and I had printed out my latest copy that I showed my preceptor the day before. Now I had to go through all my pages and find any changes I had made and update my electronic version, and it was almost midnight by now...great....
Aonghas got home some time after midnight and thought he'd try hook my laptop up to the TV to see if it was really a problem with the monitor. It looks like it was, as he was able to see my desktop normally on the TV! He copied all my assignment files onto a USB and I was able to work off those.
I didn't end up sleeping till 4.30am, but not for long as I had to wake up at 6.30am to catch the bus to work! Oh, I also had to print two copies of all my documents, which ended up being about 20-30 pages each.
I don't think I left the house till 8am, which had me worried I wouldn't make it to work by 9am! My dad ended up driving me to work, and surprisingly (and fortunately) the motorway was clear! I made it to work 15 minutes early!
I spent my whole lunch break reprinting pages and after work had to reprint a few I realised were wrong, and put it in the post just in time for the 6pm pick-up.
Good riddens, Assignment 3! They better not make me resubmit!

Upsize It!
The monster bacon, tomato and egg sandwich my mum makes me for breakfast! It helps get me through the morning at work!

Crossing off the Dates
I cross off each day on this calendar beside my bed every night. Half way to go!

Double Downing It!
I feel so dirty - I just tried KFC's Double Down Burger unknowingly on the very last day it's available in New Zealand! It felt like eating two pieces of chicken, one on top of each other! (Wait...that's exactly what it was!)
I had to visit my patient again today to give him a sheet with information on the medicines he's currently taking, as well as offer him some lifestyle advice. He seemed to be impressed which was a relief because I stayed up till 4am this morning working on the assignment and then slept in till 11am, having nightmares that the patient found all these problems with my information sheet!
After my meeting with the patient, Jireh and Ben, a couple of friends from youth group were keen to hang out and enjoy my one day off work! Originally we had planned to go watch a movie, but there wasn't enough time, so I just walked down to West City to meet up with them two and we just wandered around for a while, bumping into Cleo in the process!
I went back into Dick Smith today and bumped into the salesman who tried selling me the MacBook Pro yesterday! He really tried to sell it to me again today, but after doing some reading last night I realised maybe it's not so great for its price (?)
Anyway we were getting hungry, so Aonghas and Hamish came over, we bought some bread and were served by Kassandra at checkout (HAPPY BIRTHDAY KASSANDRA FOR THE OTHER DAY!) then we headed off to KFC!
We had to get home by about 6pm, which meant we only had 15 minutes to get in, get out and go home. Hamish and I bought the full KFC Double Down Zinger Combo (upsized!), while the others who had already tried the Double Down Burger just bought a snack box.
We dropped off the other guys, then found a carpark at another nearby KFC to eat our meals...well we had to document this experience with photos first of course!
To Get Her!
Well I've just finished watching my latest Chinese drama - ToGetHer (Superstar Express) featuring Jiro Wang and Rainie Yang.
At first I wasn't so sure about it as Rainie Yang didn't have her trademark long hair (not that I watch dramas based on what the girls look like), but I started to grow into it! I've been watching it from time to time on my iPod during bus rides home and finally finished watching the last of the 10 episode series last night at West City while waiting for Aonghas to finish work!
My life suddenly feels so empty now! I really need to find a new drama to watch. I really want to try find something without Rainie Yang in it as I would like to diversify my tastes, but I'm aware I said that last time!
Anyway a SPOILER ALERT after the break! Don't click if you don't want to find out about the ending!
