CURSES!!!!
Okay. So I went home last week and damn it was that a wonderful time. I installed WoW on like.. 3 computers in my house which was magnificent. And then I paid to play it with Steven and my brother which was even more magnificent. I also worked for a total of like.. 24 hours.. which means more money... even better. However, there's a down side to every story. That downside: My computer.
My dad called HP and bitched at them for a good few hours... and at the end of that, he buys a new charger and docking station... which is a shame because I'll never use that docking station. =( So we all know that my computer died and the charger doesn't work and all that fun stuff. I bring it to Best Buy to get it looked at by the Geek Squad guys... they don't know what's going on with it, which sucks... but at least that was a free consultation thingie. Twas very cool. And then my dad gets another charger, thinking it's -still- the charger when I tell him that it isn't... and lo and behold, this one doesn't work either. So I'm stuck with 3 chargers and none of them work. Finally, my dad brings my computer to the computer guy downtown and he checks it out. Few days go by and then the guy calls back and leaves a message, "Uhh.. I need to talk to you about your laptop." $450+. Unbelievable. He said that if we send it in to HP, it'd be about $450... but if something went wrong with the motherboard, then it would be over $600. I nearly fell over or something. The guy said we could get $300 for my computer and use that towards another laptop in the store, but my dad said forget it because I was going to get a new comptuer when I move to Boise anyway.. we took my crappy and now useless laptop and went on our merry way. We got it to charge to 100% and then I shut it off and used my dad's computer. I don't even know why I brought it back to school with me. It's just sitting in my room collecting dust. Ah well.
So I'm going back to Boise in June and spending a week there for orientation and such and then Steven and I are taking the same flight back home, so we'll be travelling together and not alone and by ourselves :) I'm actually really excited and I can't wait.
Ah well... I'm bored and I just felt like updating, but no one reads this anyway :( lol I'm out kids =P
