Sort of like new and definitely improved!
Hi! I'm back -- computer has been fixed! It was actually pretty easy -- I made an appointment at the Apple store and they confirmed my diagnosis that the problem was a deterioration of the cord. I got a replacement cord, which was thankfully covered by the warranty, and voila! Good as it was before. :)
If there's ever a time to not have a computer, this actually turned out to be a good one. My boyfriend finished the bar exam last Wednesday so I've been able to spend a lot of time with him. We went out on Wednesday night after the exam to our favorite local restaurant with my roommate and cousin -- it was so festive. He had a martini and a steak and was totally in good spirits. (In comparison, I think I was kind of like a zombie after the bar exam.)
And -- this is my favorite part -- we went hiking on Saturday! We spent all day Saturday at Shenandoah National Park, hiking and sightseeing. It was gorgeous and exactly what we both needed -- to get out of the city and into the woods. We went on an 8 mile hike that was pretty grueling at times and we both loved every single second of it. And get this -- we saw two bears. It was actually a little scary -- one was blocking our path on the trail and we had to backtrack and wait for it to move on. Eeeek!!!! Everything is so green and lush out here -- it's beautiful. Just one day trip to go hiking was enough to put me in a much better mood.
OK, I'm off to attempt to get caught up on my flist!
