Thank's much you two!  Feartheviolas, the article was very informative, and both your experience and Nietos' seem to confirm what I've been reading.  Will probably buy a new hard drive today, especially an SSD if possible.

Yay! Glad I could help :)

2014 wouldn't be bad, though.
Keep an eye on me. I shimmer on horizons.

* Feartheviolas is going to stay in 2016

There is nothing you can do that will make me go back to my pre-university years. Dark times those were. Dark times.

Glad to know my hours of research into computer components were be of use to someone ;) (I mean, someone else than me. Being able to build one's own computer is useful, even if it requires keeping up with often confusing information.)

Yes, Viola, I can quite understand your objection! I promise to not drag you back to 2012. After university and adult freedom, going back would feel like entering the cage and pulling the door shut.

unsurprisingly, I didn't pass my classical history exam. not sure what that means or what i'll have to do, because it's not technically an obligatory subject for my art history course, but I don't get the study points for it?? does this mean i can do another subject with the same amount of points later?? im gonna have to find some people at uni to ask about it i suppose *flops down on floor*

........wow, thinking about it, I think this is the first time in my life I'm not passing something. what happened to me
you'll know where to find me.

On the other hand, there's a certain lack of responsibility that comes with that age.

(If I went back, though, I wouldn't have my kids and that would SUCK)

I'm not going back. :P 2012 was not a good year and the following ones were even worse... right now is great, I'll stay here thank you. All you other time-travelers, if you happen to see me in 2012 come over and tell me it'll be fine and to think less about upsetting stuff, to read more good books and drink more tea.

...I can't even remember 2012, to be honest. Oh dear. (Maybe that means nothing remarkable happened?)

you can create pretty rad props out of cardboard, you know. cosplaying is pretty expensive as is, and a real flamethrower gets you thrown out of cons...


2012 was an allright year, kinda miss high school, but i don't feel any particular need to reset anything. maybe except to a week before my exam in classical history >:/
you'll know where to find me.
