2009 - What's Happening?

  1. I injured my left one at the end of the first week of Track and Field practice, then i injured my right one at home from twisting around on it. I had to get an MRI on the left ankle, the results from that show my bones having bruising and some liquid in my bones. Its hard to walk, ive been home from school for a couple of days now. The doctor said if i'm not careful for the next few weeks i could end up fracturing my ankles. :)

    Yikes!!! You definitely do not want to end up with a fractured ankle... or I guess in your case ankles.

    I remember when I was in high school, I broke my left ankle in half snowboarding. Talk about painful. I lived in Southern California at the time. To make matters worse, this all took place during El Nino. So it was very wet an rainy.

    Best of luck and hope you are feeling better soon.

    Not much.. Spring Break is almost over! (thank goodness, it's so boring.)

    Besides once I go back I don't have much work to stress out about. I'm done with the big project of the semester, for my Music Theory IV class, which is my only project. XD (analyzing a piece, writing a paper, and performing the piece in front of the class.)

    See, that is the reason I stick with PCs. It's not that I have anything against Macs, its just that they are so darn expensive. Then again, I don't have a real need for a Mac. My computer is mostly for gaming.

    Ah, thank you. ;D
    I need the mac. I already have a pc for gaming.

    It's not like I had a choice. it's either get a nVidia 6200 AGP (which is a downgrade from a 6600GT) or move to ATI and get a decent upgrade.
     
  15. swmeek

    swmeek I got your benevolent dictator pal!!

    That's not a justifiable upgrade for a computer nerd!
    You're supposed to go with a new cpu, motherboard, memory and video card.
    :rotfl:
