Day 10

October 6, 2009
Even after sleeping at 12:15, I didn't sleep well and feel pretty out of it. Spanish class is the usual boring meh. After class, I call Tekserve and he speaks to the guy and says that the technician is still working on my laptop. I find out that the guy gets off at 6 so I should really call before that to at least get an update how things are going. The guy on the phone did recognize that this is taking especially longer. I'm not letting the guy not speak to me today and waiting another day while he gets to work on it tomorrow.
I get a flatbread sandwich at Subway and then go the library. The flatbread is actually pretty good and I think I would prefer getting that over their other six inch hero breads. Instead of taking out a laptop and dealing with finding somewhere to use it and such, I just use one of the computer lab desktops. There's someone else waiting for it and I stand behind her. Then, a guy just random slips in and takes a computer immediately as someone is speaking. Right before he sits down, he sees me. From across the room, I give him the dirtiest stare I've ever given. This is a tired, not in a good mood day and I don't need this fuckin' shit man. I look like I'm going to stab his heart out and then eat his babies. He's quickly done and gives me a motion to "Go ahead, my bad bro."
I then go to my Democratic Theory class. During the break, I get one of those really big Red Bulls, but obvs the no sugar one. I also realize that I probably should participate more. People do talk about really stupid stuff and it again is free points that I'm not picking up on. After the class, I run into Evan and we walk over the our next classes, which is in the same building. We have a speaker in for my Constitution and Minorities class. Basically this guy was a green card holder and commited a drug crime. He tried to submit for citizenship while in jail, but there were complications. In 1996, a law is passed that immigrants, even if they are documented, that have been charged with certain crimes are allowed to have mandatory deportation with court hearing. It's a bit of a sob story because they guy has been here for decades, has an American citizen wife, and four American citizen children born here and that he might be deported on Friday because he has ran out of options and his mandatory deportation should still be going through.
Immediately after my class, I call Tekserve. I finally get an update from the representative while the technician has left for the day. After a week and a half, the guy has open my computer, clean off the parts, and now they're set up to be put into the dryer. So after they're dried, then the computer will be tested. So after all this time, I still don't know if I need replacement parts. I really hope I don't because that will take even looongger to fix. I hope to find somewhere else that can do that. Their customer service is bad and they give attitude. I also read from reviews that they overchrage for their parts and replacing them. They're testing my fuckin' nerves over here. After getting off from the phone with them and giving them a shit attitude back, I go to the library to write them a mean letter.
I still have an hour to hang out in the library here until my ACLU meeting at 8:00. I can't wait for it because I'm really starved and can't wait for that Thai food that's planned to be ordered. Awesomes! Ugh, afterwards though, I guess I'm going back to the library. Another day, another night of this shit.
The meeting isn't bad. Not too many people show up and we watch a video on your constitutional rights when dealing with the police. It's actually really informative and I really suggest you people watch it. It can be corny at time, but it really gives you knowledge on how not to get caught for stuff when you really can avoid because the police are intruding on your rights.

The meeting also has pad thai and other really greasy Thai food. I was good today with an apple and a subway sandwich, which is under 500 calories. However, I'm treating myself for dinner at least.
After the meeting, I decide to call it a day and immediately go back. I get some cleaning done and work on some Spanish before calling it a night. Even though I stay up watching TV until 2:30... I guess the Military channel and Food Network are too interesting for me.
