Button

I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out how to turn on one these suckers:

I was writing my paper in a cubicle at Biola when the screen suddenly went blank... I frantically, and/but calmly traced the power plug and found out that the guy in the next cubicle had unplugged my line to plug in his laptop. I was like, "oh no you di'nt," with a growl but it came out like, "it's alright, good thing I saved right before" with a smile. Luckily, I really did save my paper, but unluckily, I didn't know how to turn the computer back on... My PC pride prevented me from asking anyone for help. Never surrender. I quickly realized that there was no mother brain (the standard computer tower for pc's). I never knew that was possible... an iScreen. So I began running my fingers all over the edges, the bottom, the top, in the back, but no luck (by this point, I had wiped all the dust off with my fingers. you're welcome). I even pressed and held down the big mac button in the front thinking it was a touch interface. Nothing. WTFrustration. So I finally reached back and swiveled the whole screen around and...

... are you serious. That button is embedded into the plastic like an ice cube in an iceberg. It's like trying to find that one special loose brick on a fireplace that opens up a hidden door that leads to a chamber of secrets. I am quite certain I unknowingly ran over the button with my finger multiple times when I went all TSA on it earlier. This ain't no iMac, this is an iSpy. "iSpy the audio jack! finally!"

Nevertheless, I'm writing this entry on the very same iSpy. We've overcome our differences, and I've found my new corner in the library.

Hm. It's been a good semester. It's the most amount of papers I've written for school in one semester/quarter. I feel like I haven't gotten any better at writing, instead I've only gotten better at pretending to have gotten better at writing. See, I could have just wrote, "write well," but I didn't because I wanted to pretend like I got better by using unnecessary, unconventional words and sentence structures... I lost me there.

But in the end, it's good to know that I love what I'm writing and learning. For example, the paper I turned into was a Meditative Project on Philippians 2:5-11. By the end of the 10 pages, I was convicted of the responsibility of having a humility that leads to the unity for the sake of the spiritual community looking to the joy in eternity in light of Christ's humility all for the Father's glory.

Now just one more paper left.

Let's go.
