I've had a bit of bad luck with my laptop: It died. In a violent, violent death. First, there was the blue screen of death. Then, beeps, half-starts {my laptop apparently couldn't load the welcome screen}, and error messages. And then... there was nothing. {And I mean nothing. It wouldn't even turn on, the jerk.}
Fortunately, my dad has a friend who has a friend who thinks my laptop is salvageable {and is willing to work on it for free!}. And luckily, I had most {though not all} of my documents, music, photos saved on an external hard drive. Really, the only annoyance has been not having access to my computer or the internet the past few days {our home computer is slow as molasses}-- it really is amazing how much of my life is on my computer and how dependent I am on the internet.
On the bright side, though, I've had lots of time to pack. {But, have I? Uh...not really.}
