Yay
I was notified today that I’m a semifinalist for the Presidential Scholars Program. If I become a finalist, I get a free trip to DC… I’ve never been to DC!
Got waitlisted @ Hopkins, admitted to Carnegie Mellon… guess I’m still going to OU, heh. Hooray for public education that’s actually affordable!
I went out to work on a computer today. It was WAY messed up… XP blue-screened on startup. So I just reinstalled Windows… and then the BIOS went wacky. Wouldn’t save settings, reboot randomly, etc. So I figured I’d take it back to the shop and reflash it. I reached underneath the desk to start unhooking the crazy thing and BURNED myself on the metal. It was that hot. The lady was like “Oh yeah, there’s a heating vent right there.” Doh >_<. Nuff said, I hope they didn’t fry it. But after bringing it back here, it seems to work okay. Reflashed BIOS, all is well. Lol. It was probably running at 140+ degrees Fahrenheit.
