network reports is running

Just a heads up to everyone - and this started last night, actually - my dad is taking my computer at night. No, I'm not in trouble (well, maybe just a little). Oh well. Here's the scoop:

All the computers here are hooked up to a network (as computers often are), and my dad has this software (Network Magic) that helps him manage it. Now, it doesn't really help with this bizarre computer (which still refuses to actually see anything on the network besides the internet), but he's got the software on here anyway. And every day, it generates a "Network Report" - which shows internet usage by hour, my IE history, and what applications haver been running on my computer and for how long. Dad has seen me constantly on during the wee hours of the night, and in an attempt to un-fuck-me-up for college, he decided the only thing he could do was take my computer and phone at night (he could tell from phone records, too, that I've been up nights) and give them back to me in the morning. Now, as far as I know, this is only really lasting for four nights (including last night and tonight). Starting Friday night and going all next week, I'll be in Boston with Emily (my awesome cousin), and I should have my computer and phone available. The only thing is, it'll still be generating those network reports. So, in order to have my computer available nights when I come back from Boston, I'll have to keep internet usage down at night and actually fix my sleep schedule (what schedule?) Anyways, I've been having issues getting to sleep nights. Take last night for instance - even though I didn't have my computer and I honestly tried to sleep, I ended up reading for about two hours, finally getting to sleep just after midnight, and waking up at 3AM for the rest of the day. And now it's 3PM. Oh well. I'm nocturnal by nature, and hopefully I can turn that around in the next week or so.

Wish me luck!
