Not too much is really going on here, but I figured I'd write because I can, and because I have the time.
I've had one of my two classes today, and we actually got all of the assignment done that we were suppose to do, so that's good; one less thing for me to do over the weekend. I also wrote the abstract for my research paper for my Anthropology class that's due on Tuesday, and it feels really good to have things done.
Unfortunately for me, I'm going to have to end up sending my Pac Mate in to be looked at. Yesterday I noticed something loose inside the unit, rattling around. I didn't know what it was, and disconnected the display from the unit to see if I could get it out, but it turns out that whatever is loose is inside the Pac Mate itself, and so can't come out. I really don't know why it happened--I didn't drop it or anything, and it had only started doing that--but I figure I should send it in now, when it still works and the thing is in there, than if the unit were to completely fry because the loose thing hit against a chip or another part that could be dammaged. It was loose to begin with, but now I think it's lodged somewhere inside the unit; I don't know, it is in there, and it isn't suppose to be doing what it's doing or be where it is, that I know for sure. It's only slightly annoying. I won't lose any of my notes and files and whatnot for class, because I saved them on a flash card, but when I translated them into rtf, part of the files didn't translate well at all. Ah well, it could be worse, right? I still have the BraileNote the state bought me, (in case something like this were to happen), so I'm not totally screwed for taking notes and things. I just can't read any of the files too well that I did in FS-Edit, although I have them. The woman I spoke to at FS claimed that once they receive the unit, they like to have it back to the customer within 3-5 business days, but only time will tell. At least I can still use my display.
I have class at 3:30, and I think I've run out of things to say for now, so I'll write when I do . More later.
