Life lesson: If you’re going to buy something that looks cheap, examine it before you buy it. It might already be broken.

On the one hand, I have determined that I should turn the computer off in order to get more work done. I definitely have a bad addiction to the internets.

On the other hand, I am utterly dependent on the computer. I decided to start one of my homework assignments. I download the problem set from a web site. The first problem asks about density and gives me one solar mass as a unit. I open Google and search for “mass of sun” to find its mass in kilograms. It’s not just that. I need Word to do my writing assignments. I can’t win.

I’m like an alcoholic who needs to drink in order to get anything done.

Curse you, technology! My savior and my devil.
