Arrrgh! (and not in the fun Pirate way)

I hate Registration. I've been pressing the refresh button continuously since 5:53 AM. And you know what it says? "Server too busy" "Traffic exceeds the Web site's configured capacity." And this happens, every registration day. Hours til finally you're lucky enough to hit the right spot and get on the site.


You'd think the intelligent UW would figure out after a while that hey, maybe they should add a couple of servers to lessen the strain. Or not make registration a free for all at 6 AM for thousands of students.


But nooooo... thinks it's fun for students to develop carpal tunnel by clicking over and over (ow, my hand).


But I've been making the best of my time. I'm starting my Buffy countdown marathon. The Gift. The end of Becoming. Once More, With Feeling. Selfless. Conversations with Dead People. And to top it all off, Chosen. If by then I'm not a sobbing mess, I'm probably unconcious.



ETA: It worked! Finally! I'm registered and nothing was closed! And wow, do the LJ servers seem wonderful in comparison.


Also, The Gift is a really depressing way to start the day. ::teary:: I think I need more sleep. Though I have to wake up in an hour anyway.


ETA Again: 7:49 - Can't sleep! ::shakes fist:: Registration, you may have won this battle but it's not over yet!

Okay, so actually it is, at the moment. But until next time! :waves threatening fist::


Yes, apparently I get this way when I'm short of sleep.

That's my girl

I started watching this show when I was in the 7th grade. I was 12. I'm now 18 and in my first year of college. This has been such a steady part of my life that I'm not sure what I'll do now that it's gone. I know it's not completely dead. There are still reruns. DVDs. Merchandise. Joss. But this is still the end of an age.


I think part of me is still in denial. How can something so constant be gone? I've seen nearly every episode when it originally aired. Every Tuesday (and the Mondays before that) it was assumed to be Buffy's night. It still is... ::sniff:: Is it really over?
