This is the kind of s**t that makes me go FFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Okay. All this week I've been able to get on the internet from my connection in my room in my res hall. No problems.
Tonight? It logs me out of the connection. Okay, no problem, it usually happens on Mondays, but no big deal. I put in my info and click log in and what do you suppose happens?
Yeah. It says I can't log on because the shitty internet the college provides us with comes at an extra cost; you have to have an approved anti-virus software. We use Sophos, and Sophos, I'll have you know, is the biggest pile of s**t I have ever seen.
Where do I begin? Well, to be blunt, I'm sure that Norton probably does a better job of keeping viruses off of your computer. Sophos doesn't have an automatic updating system like AVG does, and just having your computer hooked up to a useable connection doesn't work. If you want to update it, you have to GO to the Sophos site, find the latest updates, and download them manually. What a pile of ******** ********, back to my problem. It says my Sophos isn't up to date, so it gives me the option of updating it from the "Limited Connection" screen. I click update, and a box pops up and says it's updating Sophos and then it says 'No new updates available.'. Assuming it did SOMETHING, I try to log on again, only to have the log in box say I still don't have the software required to log on. So I try it again. And again, and again.
And here's where it gets bad. How am I supposed to fix the problem when the GODDAMN PIECE OF s**t WON'T LET ME FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IT CAUSED BY BEING SUCH A USELESS PILE OF s**t IN THE FIRST PLACE? All Sophos does is sit there on my desktop and occasionally bring up a huge honking text box saying "SEND A SAMPLE OF LAKJDNADLKF TO SOPHOS.COM". Yeah right.
It's so stupid. Why do you have a antivirus software that doesn't do anything and is basically just a drain on my resources? And why did you make it so that it won't let me update the software when I am in DESPERATE NEED OF DOING EXACTLY THAT?!
UPDATE: The college didn't renew their contract with the antivirus company, which in turn ******** up all the computers and suchlike. The college has posters all over the place telling you what to do, and it took me two days to figure out how to do it. You had to set your computer clock back a year and then update the antivirus software and then put your clock back to the year it is.
It made me delete my AVG just so it could renew the antivirus software. How stupid.

Good news/bad news.
Good news: I'll be going to Oregon this summer to see the Shakespeare Play Festival. A whole week on the other side of the country, going to plays and similar. I'm quite excited about it.
Bad news: I had to walk out of a play tonight before it even started because of how HORRIBLY uncomfortable I was in my seat. I like there to be a bit of space between me and other people, but I had the misfortune to sit between two morbidly obese, oblivious women who hogged the armrests on either side of me, forcing me to basically hug myself so that I wouldn't brush up against either of them. Wasn't room to swing a cat, I'll tell you. After five minutes, I was getting a serious cramp in my leg, so I said ******** it and left. It was supposed to be an assigned performance for a theatre appreciation class too, but I don't see the point in going to a play if I'll be too distracted by how incredibly uncomfortable it is. I've sat in airplanes that had better seating arrangements, and that's saying something.
If I ever have to go back to that theater, I'll be sure to buy the seats on either side of me, just so nobody else can crowd me. Honestly, it was that bad.
