I'm... actually good at what I do? NO WAY!
Well... a surprise meeting with my instructor this morning revealed to me my vocational status in my trade. She's telling me... that I'm doing excepionally well... a lot better than a few of the students that are in this class who got in here before me. o_o;; She wants me to do more hands-on WBL (work-based learning) around the center, like fixing other instructor's PCs, taking PC parts from in here and making some kinda Frankenstein PC with different parts, whatever. She saw how I handled a recent PC that came in here. The OS was not being detected at all after a slight run-in what was later found to be a virus. So... the first thing I did was try a Windows 2000 boot disk. That was a no go, so I shut 'er down, popped off her casing and took a peak inside.

It was weird... I didn't think at all... I just acted, but somehow I knew exactly what to do and what to look for. Spotting the hard drive, I yanked of the Molex and ribbon cable (not literally, of course, heh), and just... hooked it back together to make sure it was tightly fastened in. Closed the case back up, started the machine up, and after a few AutoDetect memos for the CMOS, it rebooted... then started up normally. It was working again. *-* I fixed a random stranger's machine, and it only took me 15 minutes.

Wow... maybe I'm better at computers than I thought. >_>; I'm hoping to have a completion percentage from my instructor by the end of the week. Heheheh, I'm so excited. :B I so wanna go home and open my machine, and upgrade it to ridiculously insane proportions. That is if my motherboard can take it. ;[
