It’s inevitable, isn’t? There will come a time when the disk drive that we have will be in critical level, in other words, there will be scarcity with the available disk space that we have. That only means that we have to add more space, or delete a few programs and files, or move them to an external disk. And in my case, the unused space that I have is starting to deplete. To make matters worst, I don’t know which files and programs that I have to throw to the recycle bin. I also don’t own any external devices that I can use. The only means to backup the data that I can do is by burning files in CDs or DVDs and you know how unstable they are.
Moreover, I’m starting to feel that the physical memory that I have is not enough. Even though my physical memory that i have is a whooping 1 GB, I can feel that my computer is acting sluggish sometimes. During simple tests, I still have to wait for a few seconds or even minutes before my computer will respond.
I also have to upgrade a lot of things. Not only hardwares but also the programs that are currently installed in my computer which also contribute to the sluggishness of it.
Oh, it’s not my laptop that I am referring to but my brain. For more than 18 years, my brain has been abused, damaged, and over-used especially nowadays where I have to memorize a lot of things. Seriously, I badly need to shut down or just even hibernate it for a while. My brain hasn’t rested for almost a year now from school work. My brain cells are dying. And if I were to sell my brain, I’m sure, I would only earn a few cents because no one would like it and it’s overused!
A couple of weeks ago, I had to subtract something. Yeah, simple Math. God, I wasn’t able to get the right answer. The thing is, it took me five minutes before I realized my mistake: I used the minuend as the subtrahend, and the subtrahend as the minuend. How stupid is that?
All I want now is a very long vacation in a quite place far from civilization where I can rest for weeks, I don’t have to think about school related work, annoying blockmates, read unreliable text books, incompetent instructors, and avoid eating in fast food chains so that my brain could have all the rest it needs.
Of course, if someone out there is willing to lend me his or her brain, I would really appreciate it!
BTW, I’m now hosting Kathrin’s blog. She’s one of my oldest friends in the Internet.
