Well, today started out like a particularly bad dream.
Here was the plan:
1. Get up at 9:30.
2. Go get breakfast.
3. At 11 a.m., register for classes.
4. 2:00 p.m., go get lunch with Courtney.
5. Wait for all this to blow over.
What really happened:
1. Got up at 12:03 because alarm clock failed to go off.
2. Frantically try and log onto computer, only to find that it (a) shut itself down, meaning I lost every single thing I had downloaded between the last time I shut it off and today, and (b) wasn't letting me restart at all.
3. Fight with computer, finally get it to restart.
4. Try and pull up Internet, only to find that everything I did to make the Internet work in the first place has gone back to its original settings.
5. Get that figured out, go online, find registration has passed for me. Gone. I have tomorrow from 3 to 12 to figure it out.
6. Realize this means I'm going to get the crappiest classes out of the McCrap crappy pile.
And I didn't get breakfast.
I have got to get this computer fixed, but right now I have no way of backing up any of my files short of buying an external hard drive with money I don't have.
Screw that. I'm counting it as a needed educational expense. I can't do any work on this thing until I can back it up, crush its soul, reboot, and have it grovel at my feet like it's supposed to. None of this computer rebellion for me, thank you very much. I have things to do, places--well, things to download, at least.
