So I lied on Monday when I said that things went well with my "mock thesis defense." Sunday night when I was preparing, Matlab, the "programming language" (yes those are air quotes) that I was supposed to use decided to stop working. Yes thats right. Suddenly I couldn't make pcolor plots nor could I read pcolor figs that I had already made. For those who are lucky enough not to know what I am talking about, a pcolor is a 3-d plot where the 3rd dimension is defined by the color of the pixel. Anyway I desparately needed these plots for my project. So I got up early on Monday morning to get to the lab early and make the plots on my desktop "computer" (air quotes again). And that worked to a fashion.
Well guess what. After three re-installs the matlab stuff still doesn't work. The pc help people thought I might have a virus but I don't. And who knows what is wrong. It doesnt help that this program is the most annoying I have ever used to install. You have to use a license manager because the licenses are served out from our central server. ARRGGGGGHHHH!!!! And the license manager keeps not working.
I am trying one more time.
Cross your fingers.

I am so tired and not in the mood for work. I guess I could work on my assignment for econ but that sounds brain numbing. I have been feeling kind of numb the last few days.
I spent the last two nights watching movies on my couch since the SO has been busy. Not necessarily a bad thing just wish I had cleaned the apt those last two days, or had the energy to do it so that we could go do something really fun tonight instead of picking up my trashed out place. Oh well.
