A couple of questions

It is entirely possible that deciding to factory-restore my netbook when I have some pretty hefty homework due the next day was not the wisest choice I could have made. OTOH, it takes several hours to reinstall World of Warcraft so that was one less possible distraction. I am certainly making good headway on it - it's taken me over an hour to write this post because my homework is so darn fascinating ;P.

Speaking of which, let me ask you a question: If you were to go into an acupuncturist's office, what would you expect to see there? (I'm curious what the answer is even if you've never been to an acupuncturist)

Actually, as long as you're here, let me ask you another question: When would you go to see a healer, and when would you go to see a doctor?

If I were going to an accupuncturist's office, I'd expect it to look like a psychologist's: homey, comforting, restful colors and art. Definitely art in the waiting room (no damn TV spouting soaps, but please yes an array of magazines if I forget my book), and also the examination rooms should have murals on the ceilings, or interesting prints to gaze at, both the ceiling and the floor if you use those massage tables that have a hole for your face. I'm needlephobic, the only way I could relax with pins getting stuck in me (even tiny ones that I can't feel) is if I were looking at something interesting as it was happening.

When do I go to a doctor, when to a healer? Uh. I can't go to either right now, better ask me again when I have some form of health insurance and/or a decent job.
