so first my mac update~ well, my logic board died so they had to have it replaced. they mentioned that it would not affect my hard drive. w00t. a week later, i get it back, it does not get past the loading screen. actually, it just loads for about a minute and shuts down. i take it back to get it checked again. guess what, my partition is corrupt and my hard-drive is on it's way to hell x,x soo... blah. i have to wait for about another 1 - 1 1/2 weeks until i can get back my laptop... very bad.  

but miraculously, i had my stuff backed up, in return for me missing the first day of my east asian contemporary class... OTL... i will elaborate the details of my first week:

motion graphics - seems interesting. i like flipbooks xP

production (???) - interesting due to the fact that i want to learn how to print and stuff. confusing in a sense that i'm a n00b and i do not understand anything about the quality and specs of printing anything

typography - i gotta get studying with mah typography again =_= seriously.

thesis - fearful. ever so fearful. will brush up on my proposals:
a) examining and evaluating the commodification and branding of post-secondary education in public spaces
b) deconstructing, re-evaluating and re-appropriating the perception of beauty in a multicultural diverse setting
... aren't i wordy... not sure how my prof likes them =X   

east asian contemporary art - seems interesting. i'm pretty sure the prof hates me for skipping ;_; .... but... broken mac..! i know, "no excuses", so i guess she'll have to hate me.  

...so first week.... 4/5 classes... it's a whole new realm. very researched based now. like... 99%? hell will be unleashed within the next week or so. that i am sure of.

--------------------------
***status of art trades: will be completed once mac is resurrected. that it will.

what else... la cha ta? that song... too addicting.

ok, i am drained. off to unconscious land~

Oh, nothing happened~ I called you at some point, but nobody picked up, so I was just checking if I still had the right number. :P But yeah, nothing else, then. ^^

shiiiit duuude. How much is this going to end up costing you? I think out of everyone, you needed apple care the most with all the crazy stuff your computer has been doing. Are they going to do anything about the battery? ;.;

after calling and complaining about... some odd amount of times, i managed to regain a year's worth of warranty left. so now is my time to spam itsss!

but when i checked in today, they said my hard drive is covered, but they don't cover the battery =_= they said it had to be within the first year of warranty..? i dunno, cause i asked them about the whole "less than 300 cycles i get for free" dealy, and they didn't know x_X so to comfort me, they're like "you don't have to pay more than [x] amount written here"... i was hoping more of a "you get it replaced for free" kinda thing.. but.. yeah ._.

i swear, i think these macs are made to explode after 3 years x_x

When did they tell you about the year thing? When I went in and asked about my not-as-screwed battery, they were all "well how long is your apple care for/when does it expire?". I told them next year *omgggg D:*, and they said, sure, they don't see why it can't be covered. I went to the fairview dudes if that means anything, maybe they're nicer? Keep asking about it, or tell them my battery story. I had less cycles than you currently do. I think I was at about 80 something cycles, so it was still fairly new before it went from 4hr max battery life to under 2 hour max.

but yes, spam plz!!

fairview, eh.... XD acck, too bad i already gave in my laptop x_x

but yeah, they like, showed me the pricing of the battery (i was so tired and blind at that point because i thought it said $1000 something and i freaked out slightly) thus started my spamming of questions and me implying that i should get it for free b/c of that less than 300 cycles thingy... the genius dude says "i'm sorry, i don't know about that" and then went on with the it had to be within the first year of warranty x_x

he said it may/may not be charged if the repairing people deem it to be =_=

That's just really weird. I think they're just BSing you or something. Hopefully when you get your computer back you've got a new one installed. They'll probably run a diagnostics test on it and find out that it's not your fault that it's dead or something. Mine's funny... the bottom of my mac is kinda full of scratches n things, but then the new battery is spotless. =P

But yes, the fairview people are my friends.
