Last night I was talking to Justine on aim, when out of nowhere a blue screen comes on for like a second and then illegally shuts down. I try to turn it back on, and it goes through my password prompt and everything, but then freezes up as it tries to load the different programs. I tired this two or three more times and the same thing happened. A few hours later, I tried to turn it on, and it wouldn't even go on! So now my stupid laptop is out of commission until I can find a poor soul to come look at it and fix it. If it is even fixable, that is.
Thankfully I do have a brand new laptop waiting for me at home, all for the low price of $0 because of the Dell Replaceplant Plan Warranty my parents got. However, if the computer were not free, I would probably NOT be getting another Dell. Our desktop has had problems and my laptop barley made it through last year. I'm a little worried that in a few years, the same thing will happen with this new one.
Well, at least it is free. I'm still bitter beyond belief though because if it isn't fixable, what do I do without a computer for two weeks? I have important files on there that aren't backed up yet, papers I need, music I need. I also need it to do homework on! I really do not feel like staying at SCS until 11:30 at night just to complete my HW, especially when I have to be out of my apt by 8:30 in order to find a place to park for tomorrow night. Plus it's just a huge inconvience to not have a computer in my apartment. Yes, if I need to check my email quickly, I can use Michelle's, but I can't stay on it for three hours like I would do with Lauren's when mine wasn't working last year.
Oh, and even if I TRIED to call Dell, I probably wouldn't get anywhere. They probably have on file that I already have a replacement computer, so they won't help me with this one. Annnd, I can't get home until the weekend of the 22nd, because I have recruitment next weekend and classes during the week.
I'm also still absolutley exausted from this weekend.
