The things you find...

moominmuppetI've got an old laptop that I'm loaning to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
harperjean for the summer. Last night I was clearing off the files I had on it. That was a bit of a funny little memory jog, and it was just stuff from about a year to two years ago. Much more odd was what resulted from trying to find a 3.5 floppy to transfer files to our other PC (wow, I didn't need to be reminded of what a time-consuming process that is). I poked around in a box of old disks, and finally managed to find a couple with some space I could use. The disks are from 96-97, though. I didn't go poking around in the files, since I was busy, tired, and didn't think I really needed to get sucked into something that might be really emotionally weird right then. I do want to start going through some of those old disks (I've got a hundred or so, going back to the early 90s), and see what's still salvageable, and get it moved before the disks totally die. And just looking at the filenames was enough to be strange -- folders full of love letters to J when she was in Marysville, letters I'd written to friends after arguments, activism stuff that reflects what I was working on at the time, info about various hobbies, smut I'd written, other people's smut that I was reading at the time -- it has the potential to be a very strange trip.
My exam last night went just fine; I'm certain I got an A on it, and positive that means I've got As for both classes now. Hopefully the grades will be officially posted soon so I can send off my paperwork to the benefits department and get reimbursed; that'd be some nice extra cash to have around.
I got home afterward and managed to get the necessities taken care of (laundry and packing, mostly), so now I'm all set to leave for Chicago today at 4:45pm. Yay!
Hopefully today will be a calm one; no more studying to do, so hopefully I'll have some time to catch up on LJ and email. Becca's uploaded the Bread and Puppet photos, and I want to post about those today if I get a chance. Right now, though, I'm very, very sleepy, and just want to go back to bed. Ah well.
