Update on the Mac issue
Finally, after a lot of stress (and a few calls), all's well that ends well. I did have to call Apple's hotline a couple of times, but at last they found some clause on the customer service side that allows for an exception, which means that I will be able to send my Mac for repair at Apple's cost! Even better, I called the store where I bring the computer, and they said that it should take 3-5 business days. Much less than what I expected (I thought I'd be computer-less for a good 2-3 weeks).
Phew, this is the kind of day that's simply mentally exhausting. Good thing I'm going to see GI Joe tonight (for free, so if it sucks, at least I didn't pay for it).
