I thought I'd finally filled up what appeared to be a 40GB hard drive last night until I realized that, for some reason, it was only 18GB.  Hmm.  I spent last night and most of the time I was awake today trying to get my computer set up the way I want it by scavenging parts I already have, and now I've got a 40GB drive where I need it, after much cursing and flailing.  The problem is, now I'm stuck with a ghost drive in Explorer from when I was fiddling with backing stuff up off other drives before I wiped them.  Disk Manager doesn't see it, and neither does Hardware Manager, which is as it should be, but Explorer thinks there's an X: drive that it just can't access. Puzzled over that when I got home from school, then crashed.  Oh well.  I'll just live with it for now.

Anyway, money's really starting to worry me.  I need to get my card paid off ASAP, and having to pay for lessons is not helping &gt;:E  Also, I fail at jet lag.
