Dear Universe...

I cannot thank you enough for your impeccable timing when it comes to FUCKING WITH ME!

So my classes start back up this coming Wednesday and I'm all geared up for what may be my toughest term yet as it includes:
1. A beefy math class. I am completely math-intolerant.
2. An advanced philosophy class (which will undoubtedly cause more than one argument between me and my estranged boyfriend).
3. Another women's studies class (same effect as philosophy class expected here).
4. A reading/essay packed English class.
5. And finally completely at the last minute and against my will, a French class.

I'm not bitching because I love school and this won't be tooooo painful if I stop seeing all friends and family and making time to eat. My issue arose when my trusty laptop that has pulled me out of more sticky situations than any of Jame Bond's little grappling-hook/pen gadgets ever could have BREAKS.

I'm not so computer savvy so I don't know the proper terminology for whatever happened. And I don't care. All I know is that out of nowhere, while I'm perusing the AoC forums for how to craft my lv 70 gear, my screen blinks, beeps, then goes completely black and even my super-computer-genius boyfriend can't make it start back up. You like how this happens right aaafter Christmas when all the laptops would have been on killer sales? It's not like I can afford to wait until tax-refund sales are going on either. I need a laptop for school NOW.

So. I sit here at my damn near prehistoric desk top computer at home, wishing I was typing on my mean-blue!-gaming machine which resides at my boyfriend's house... I'll be all over the east coast this weekend hoping to find something suitable that won't cost me my left arm or first child. It won't help that I'll have an anti-Mac, computer-snob boyfriend who knows (not thinks he knows, but KNOWS) almost everything about computers with me, ready to turn his nose up at anything we come across.

Ugh. All I wanted to do this weekend was watch the LoTR extended editions... Wish me luck.
