I can get type & get online & stuff, but the visual distortions are srsly unsustainable for doing any real work. According to AppleCare (who just took me thru troubleshooting) it is apparently a hardware issue, probs w/ the video card,...

Please understand that being disabled/sick doesn’t mean I’m not still a human being. I have to spend most of my day being very careful what I do, and if you visit I might not seem like much fun to be with, but I’m still me stuck inside this body. I still worry about school and work and my family and friends, and most of the time I’d still like to hear you talk about...

It's the FI-NAL COUNT-DOWN!
So: My Master’s Thesis is due *in a month* (!), and I’m in the midst of Srsly Epic Overwhelm. Like, I made a Five Part To-Do List last night with bullets & sub-sections.
