I hate studying...

My last exam is tomorrow, and I am supposed to be studying. Instead I am wasting time on the internet.

Also, I learned that I can fix my computer myself. For $200-$400, finding a place that has the parts I need in stock, and a procedure that looks somewhat more complicated than brain surgery. (It involves lots of fiddly screws and taking keys off my keyboard to get at fiddly screws.) If I can hold off until June, I can get my dad to look at it. Unfortunately, I don't think I can -- the problem is the case is buckling around the edges, and that means dust and crap can get into the computer. I can also look into having someone else do it for me, which I might do. Means letting my computer out of my sight for a couple of days, but it might be better than trying to take the thing apart. Though part of me would love an excuse to learn how my laptop is constructed.

It is very surreal to be reading the comments on a science blog and see your father mentioned as a blogger.

(Yes, my dad has a blog. He uses it to write about real stuff, like politics and science and how many birds he's seen in his life.)
