Aww, I'm so glad I checked in <3

 

It certainly feels good to have people care for me. (Apart from back home of course)

 

I think that it's difficult to be friends with people you will get relatively graded against, which is the case with most of the people I know around here. Feels really empty all the time.

 

best of luck (etc.)

 

yeah i may be grinding but i ain't getting better (at getting the grades, i think i understand the stuff just fine). i just want it to end which it should next week. i hate courses where talent beats hard work, but this is one of them, sigh...

aww man i feel like deleting the last post, i messed up that course anyway 

 

so anyway, i just found out laptop batteries last best when you keep them between 40-80% all the time. keeping it plugged in all the time and letting it discharge totally are both bad...who knew. i guess anyone serious about taking care of their laptops, i found out soon enough i suppose.

 

in other news it's super cold here. i guess it can't really compare to being in a place with snow, but ok.

 

Good night~

It's never snowy here so complain all you want. u.u

I'm sorry about the course, though.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the batteries. Lithium ion batteries last pretty long now if they're not garbage. Conversely, the one time I tried to store an extra battery at exactly 40% long term (after looking it up) it was dead a couple years later when I next tried it (and the battery I'd been using all in the meantime was still okay). It's almost definitely not worth the effort of keeping it "optimal", especially since a lot of the electronic manufacturers are usually already doing some of that for you (e.g. 100% on a phone is usually not actually 100% of what it could charge to, for exactly this reason).

yeah i was thinking the same thing about why my phone has lasted me for so long despite me taking such bad care of it.

aww happy new year to you too :)

 

my resolution is to drink more water and not get headaches due to staring at bluescreens and not drinking enough water (on that note i should buy more paracetamol tablets, as one of my friends said, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when)

I'm used to it being "acetaminophen" (if not brand-name) so I had to look that one up.

...

It is now time for me to hook myself to sensors and machines and get some practice at being a cyborg (and hopefully give the sleep docs useful data).

In this case it involved a lot less sleep but the hope is that it leads to more, later.

Basically sleeping with a CPAP machine plus a couple extra sensors (an oximeter, and a belt strapped around my chest that measures chest expansion/deflation from breathing) all wired up to measure stuff as I try to sleep with the CPAP (which went horribly for the first part of the night, it wasn't giving me enough air, it was like breathing into a bag).

Now I have gone over and given them back the device and now I am going to go sleep some. x.x

Well, this was like step 3 in some longer process—next step is a bit weird, at some point a medical supply company is supposed to contact me to go get me a CPAP machine that I own (using the results from this last test as guidelines on exact what to get me, I think).

All the while I'm hoping to get through as much of this as possible before doing taxes, at which point the government learns that I made little enough money last year that I could have qualified for MediCal and I'm worried the wheels of bureaucracy will churn me right out of my current Obamacare insurance (as if I could have ever known that in advance, with my highly variable income, or likewise as if it had any bearing on this year's income)...

Anyway, once I do procure a breathy-machine somehow, next step is to use it for a month-ish and come back to the sleep doctor, wherein they'll read the machine's records of how I've been sleeping (and particularly, breathing) at night and we go from there.

I don't know what the care react is. owo;

But I have hugs whenever you want them?

(>• •)> ?

Edit: I apparently am somewhat on-tack in my wild interpretation of nonsense words, a quick googling tells me. Well, more that it just happened to be about hugs which of course I will offer independently anyway uwu

That's at least what I get from googling it ~w~ I wouldn't know about it naturally, having never really been on facebook and all.
