because I'm a lovely procrastinator

I'm at school right now and it is about 6:45, and I have no idea how much longer I'll be here. Damn inputting grades! I wish I had known how tedious it would be, other wise I would not have waited until today to put them in my gradebook. I also wish I knew when grades are DUE. Yay being the new teacher on campus. lol In other news Tuesday is the ( Read more... )

If your lappy has a virus, just reformat. You'll have to back up everything you want to keep, but then you can do a fresh install of windows and your lappy will run better than ever!

GREAT luck with the dedication ceremony!

Thanks! :)

I'm computer illiterate - how do I reformat? and where can I back up everything to?

You'll want someone else to do it all for you, so you don't lose any files.

To reformat, you need a new copy of windows, or a backup disk for the copy you have on your computer already. Since most people don't have backup disks, you can download windows (which is illegal, but eh), or you can buy a new copy. Since you're a teacher, you might be able to get a good deal.

To backup files, you can just burn them to a CD or DVD, or use a cable to transfer the files to someone elses computer until you're done reformatting. I'm sure SOMEONE you know can do this for it. Any geek will say it's easy. :)

Dang, I came here to offer the advice of reformatting your computer and reinstalling Windows, but I see I have competition. I feel uprooted!

Good luck with the dedication!

(Also I'm jealous that you're a teacher.)

haha thanks philip!!! I thought you were no longer an LJ member?

(Do not be jealous that I'm a teacher - I hate having to deal with grades, parents, and paper work!) :D

I'm no longer posting entries on LJ, but I still have an account here. I also still follow everyone's blogs.

I don't know about you, but I enjoyed dealing with grades and parents during my 12-week student teaching stint. :)

good luck on that performance, i'm sure it'll be awesome!!!!!

and don't worry about your mom. It might be rocky for a little while, but when you're gone, she will miss you and realize why you had to leave and it will be okay. When I moved out my parents (mostly my mom) was super passive aggressive about it and would make comments all the time like " well since we never see you anymore..." etc. But she got over it. Now she actually invites me over and I make an effort to see both my parents, but it's a hard adjustment for sure. I think it's almost harder to move out of your parents' and stay in town as opposed to moving across the country like my sister did :-)
