Wiped Out

Not me—it's only first week!—but my hard-drive. I lost everything on my computer last night after the "genius" at the Apple store tried at least three times without success to restart my computer. It crashed on Tuesday afternoon, and since then I've been getting by checking emails and printing course readings at my work computer, all the while hoping this was just a minor setback and before long I would have my job applications, college essays, diary and calendar back. I clearly am being too optimistic for winter.

Now I don't even have Microsoft Office. That application, along with Adobe Creative Suites and my iTunes library are completely gone. And I'm left to gather together the system I spent the past two years building, and not backing up, on this fragile piece of equipment.

Wish me luck.
