In light of exams this week

I’ve decided it was finally time to upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu. This is *usually* both easier and quicker than most Windows upgrades, but the potential for insatiable time-wasting is certainly there. I’m mostly engaging in this monumental act of stupidity because (I claim) it is too late to study (but never too late to engage in IT-related stupidity… unfortunately not alcohol-directed — read on) and because I’m driving to Dave Rodger’s house in an hour and a half or so — that is how long it should take me to install this thing and get everything back to normal — to watch Australia play Brazil… and probably lose along the way. Certainly not what I’m hoping for, but… actually, who am I kidding? If we get knocked out of the World Cup there’ll be no excuses to stay up to stupid times of the morning anymore in weeks leading into exams. Hmm… but if we play again it’ll probably be after my exams are over. Dilemma. Bah! Aussie Aussie Aussie!

So… yes. Here ends the blog post. I’m off to break my computer.
