White Reflections

Yes, 2 more days left of a pathetically displeasing vacation.

Why you ask?

I’ve been working practically every day on website layouts, SAT, and homework (okay, so I admit that I played a few games and watched a few shows, but I didn’t even get to finish KDO). And all the random family related parties day after day get old really quickly.

3 layouts I set out to do.

I didn’t finish Jai’s and now I’ve got her coding her layout. *feels so guilty*
Chinese something something? Yeah, my friend said a guy I didn’t even know was pissed off at me because I hadn’t updated him with anything. I would, at this point, care less about a recommendation because I have plenty for university just from school teachers alone. They did not give me any direction whatsoever on the project, and they’re getting mad? I even asked my friend to e-mail them for me (I don’t like to e-mail people and I’d rather avoid it if I can), but did he? No. Plus, I only received some dismal 5 or so forwarded e-mails, one with a person saying she’ll get back to me on logos. Have I seen any? No. They have no right to be mad.
And robotics layout. After being somewhat pestered about it last month by a mentory, I started working on it. I’ve gone through 4 layouts since the beginning of November, and I guess 4th time’s a charm? Freaking retarded that I can’t do anything right.

Oh, and when people mock me for my lack of knowledge in terms of newer styled divs and the whole web 2.0 style, I feel like I’m reading to break down.

SAT’s? Aside from spending what I’d say to be at least 13+ hours studying this week, will I have any more time to study? Not for the rest of this vacation. And build season starts on the 6th, meaning daily afterschool robotics meetings until 9 PM and weekend meetings too. I would’ve gone for March SAT’s but LA regionals just happen to be on that day. TALK ABOUT CONFLICTING SCHEDULES. RETARDED SOME MORE.

And of course, homework. That’s what I’ll be spending thet next 2 days of my vacation doing. Yes, forget about that trip to Little Tokyo I’ve been planning. I spent the whole day drawing. Yes, finishing and redoing a sketch my dad said was inferior. Oh joy! After 12 hours of sitting in practically one position, I’m sore everywhere. But at least that’s done. Now 40 pages of Spanish reflections to type up, AMSCO homework to do… Indeed. Wonderful. Math test on Tuesday and ~40 log review problems. Oh, and 20 pages of US history notes to type up plus defining history terms. Plus a mini-report for art… And physics reading.

In addition, I have yet to register for AX (waiting on my cousin) and I still haven’t faxed in that permission form.

Yes, so 2 days. And when a friend reminds you that you have 4 days left of vacation when you know so well, yourself… yes, you’re annoyed. NO DUH. I’VE BEEN BUSY ALL VACATION. THIS VACATION SUCKS, BUT YA KNOW WHAT? I WISH I HAD ANOTHER WEEK OFF. JUST. SO. EFFING. MUCH. TO. DO. This friend also happened to be the same friend that I asked to critique my robotics layout. Yes, he liked 95% of it and said he’d do a rough Photoshop of the jpg version I sent him to show me the changes he’d want. That was 2 AM one morning… By 5, I had nothing. Forget him. Forget his ideas. Making me wait like that. HOW DARE HE “REMIND” ME OF MY DAMN TIME LIMIT.

Oh yes, and an update on my domain renewal.

I got an e-mail today saying it couldn’t be renewed. Wow. I’ve waited 4.5 days, sent in a support ticket only to have a harsh response… and this is what I get? If I can’t renew and am forced to get a new domain, I’ll have the additional task of going to TAFL and TFL and filling in FL moved forms. Yes, indeedy. I can just hear the sound of a Troubles notice.

So? Wanna see my support tickets? Yes, angry ranting.

My ticket: Today, I received an email notification saying my domain can’t be renewed, and it has become a great inconvenience for me that I do not have an accessible domain. I understand it’s my fault that I didn’t renew the domain name before it expired (I did it last year and had no problem), but after waiting four and a half days for a renewal, I really think this is ridiculous. I understand that there are a lot of domain names that need to be processed. (And frankly, the response I got to my previous ticket was not the most pleasing in terms of customer relations) Why is there no explanation as to why my domain can’t be renewed? Because frankly, if the dates active for the domain can’t be changed, additional days of my one-year plan are passing and being wasted (under this circumstance, is it still impossible to get a refund?). Anyways, I’d still like it if I could renew thet domain, because a lot of additional people using the server only know it through that address.

Response: I recently renewed a domain, shiroi-kaisou.net, which expired on the 23rd. During checkout, it stated that it would take about a day for the renewal to be processed, and I got an email verifying the renewal. I renewed on the 26th, and I’m wondering how much longer it will take for my domain name to be reinstated. I remember renewing my domain last year, after it expired, and it only took about a day, if even, for it to be renewed.

Yes, so to all those people who have gotten on my case about some issue or another this vacation, thanks for making it 10x more unbearable. You guys suck.

EDIT: And thanks to my lack of time to read LJ entries and visit forums like ABaka, I’m a day behind everyone in finding out that NEWS is back. D: Yay? Unfortunately, I cannot be involved in fandoms, at least until after build season is over.
