AMY E MARTIN // Thesis

Today, some feelings of general panic. I had to send a file to Kinko's and it would've been easier to send it via email but because I could deliver it on a CD, I did that instead. Also, when I got to the laser cutter studio at school, I discovered that the computers tied to the laser cutters were infected with some "don't use a USB drive" virus. The work-around was to send the file to yourself in email and then grab it off the web from the laser cutter computer. Der. So if I really did not have email, I could've given the file to a friend to send to their email and have them retrieve it off the computer but that was too much of a pain in the ass so I logged into an email account that I never use and sent it from there.

I am beginning to feel somewhat anxious again although I'll be able to check my email tomorrow. My first thought when deciding to do this experiment (i.e., not use email) was that I would do it for a week. Then I thought that was too wimpy and so I should do it for the entire month of December. Then I chickened out and went back to a week, which I've decided is a good time frame for now.
