So the other day my laptop contracted some kind of virus- and basically my computer system got corrupted.
Killed. It.
Now the *old* me would have sat there and been a) pissed off and b) after ranting and raving would have wanted to cry... BUT we are talking about the older and wiser moi who experienced similar computer meltdown a couple of months ago with her desktop PC she had from college, and who has because of that trauma been religiously backing up ALL her files since laptop purchase. So---
Needless to say when I had to plop in my recovery disk and erase my hard drive I was calm and collected. So I may have been a bit irritated that I had to reinstall programs...
BUT
I didn't have a breakdown.
Now if I could only use that philosophy and somehow streamline it into my 20+ page paper writing. Two papers people due in oh... 3 weeks. Have I done my research? *cough* Yeah- let's not go there.
Gotta love Grad school sometimes...
And in other news why in the hell is being a Bridesmaid in someone's wedding so freaking expensive?? Good God the more I get sucked into it the more I think the people who elope in Vegas have something going on for them...
