Well, I got back to school rather early today, only a little afternoon, and after I settled down I sat down to work on homework and discovered that my laptop isn't charger. You know, after I just drove two hours away from the closest store, which is only a ten minute walk from my house back home? Lovely, and I looked on Amazon to see if there were any cheaper replacements (since a new macbook charger is $80, guess I won't be making a second anime purchase any time soon) and all the ones I found had really crappy reviews so it doesn't look like I have any decent alternatives. Gah, Apple, on one level I still like you, I've grown up with Macs so I know a lot of their quirks and really know the system, but this is ridiculous. I have a really hard time connecting to wi-fi here, the cord is breaking after only 15 months of regular use (which other users were complaining about in those reports), I've had to mess with the coding twice to restart my computer (same issue to) and some of the outside covering started falling off and is held together by electric tape. Gah, guess someday I'll make a computer with a Mac operating system but totally different hardware, maybe then it would actually stay together in one piece.
Other than that nothing to report, having trouble with my NaNo but that's normal, got some homework done and got a crazy week ahead so I probably won't have very long posts then. Geeehhhh, only two and a half more weeks, two and a half weeks...
