Two minutes ago, I almost died. I am definitely not kidding. I thought I deleted my entire video project for English. That thing has been in the works for almost two weeks, I have spent every afternoon working on it, and there is absolutely no way I could reproduce it ever again, let alone before the end of the school year. I would have had a heart attack and died - I kid you not. My heart still feels like it's going to explode.
(p.s. it's not that the grade is that big of a deal, or the time (just two weeks of my life that I can never get back, no big deal). But I've put so much research and so much effort and so much investment into this, and I've already promised at least four people I've worked with a video. It's become really important to me...)
I am NEVER EVER EVER leaving a project on a computer without backing it up to tape first again, even if it is only a work in progress.
Other than that, life is great!
(p.s. piece of crap project + piece of crap computer + piece of crap camera = no sleep tonight, dammit dammit dammit)
