Well, I was going to zip up my information on my school computer, upload it to a website, and download it at home. I just looked at how large that folder is. 37.5 GB.

Well today has been productive already. How do I know? Because I've managed to crash not one, but two pieces of software and I've only been here about an hour and a half. I also completely locked my computer in the process and had to hard reboot it because ctrl + alt + del wasn't registering.

Damn my laptop moves fast.
