Moa

Assignment: Choose an interactive system in which there is a high likelihood of problems occuring. Come up with a few tasks and let a test person perform them. Monitor their struggles. Write an evaluation.

Our choice of system? The school's web-based student admin system.

Which SUCKS. Our poor test person won't know what hit them.

I've been studying (or rather, fretting over the fact that I was NOT studying...) for an exam this past weekend, and today I took it. And it went ok. And I'm so relieved.

Evidently I'm so relieved that I just HAD to post about it.

RELIEEEEEF. Good feeling.

I have neither the means (no TV) nor the inclination to follow Swedish Idol, but a comment made on a forum I visit made me go youtube-ing for videos of the final three contestants. I didn't like any one of them very much. What I am wondering is WHY THE HELL THIS GUY is not one of them?!

Singing You're the Voice, Imagine, The Scientist, Grace Kelly, Baby one more time, Roxanne, Livin' on the Edge, I don't feel like dancing, a bad quality Live and Let Die, and California dreamin.

SERIOUSLY, SWEDISH PEOPLE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. D: D: I especially like... okay, let me put it this way, Grace Kelly, The Scientist and Imagine were good, the others, I kind of almost loved. <3 Okay, so I especially liked his take on Baby one more time, he gave it a seriousness I didn't think it had.

<3 <3

The fan fiction thing? I kind of blew that, believe it or not. I had to use an article about real person fic written about a popular Swedish artist (another Idol contestant, heh) as a starting point, so I kind of went into bandslash (YEAH I KNOW WTF) and LotRiPS, and via a little side trip into Dan/Emma to Harry Potter and TV show fic. But I made the mistake of thinking I didn't have to really prepare this thing, as I know the subject inside and out, which meant I was kind of rambly and unfocused. >.< Teacher said that what I said was good, but it took me too long to actually say it, so I... passed. But that was it. Which kind of sucks, since I've got an A on everything else.

But that's irony for you! Scraping a pass the one time you actually know what you're talking about, and getting A's when you're just pulling things out of your ass.

Hey, Mac users of friends list! Have any of you upgraded to Leopard yet? Because I did so on the MacBook a while ago and it went without a hitch, everything just worked. Like the ads say!

However, I just upgraded the iMac, and suddenly it stubbornly refuses to connect to the wireless network. It seems to be unable to detect the network at all, or at least I think it is... the network showed up once in the list of available networks, but when I couldn't connect to it (kept telling me I had the wrong password! The audacity! Computers these days, honestly.) and restarted Airport, the iMac wouldn't even list it. It can't even detect the base station.

If this doesn't get resolved I'll have to downgrade back to Tiger. LE SIGH.

In less nerdy news... I have none. I'm doing well in school, yay?
