The motherboard is SHOT.
Ya. It was only 3 years old too. It makes me sad. On the bright side, I am now the owner of a new external harddrive (It has everything from my old comp on it now... they transfered it over) and a new (but thankfull cheap) laptop. My mom was amazing and got it for me because with midterms coming up along with everyting else going on in my life, she knows a computer that is easily accessable is important. Its a cute little toshiba. Ya... now I just have to contact ResNet to tell them I got a new comp so I can access the internet from the dorms and whatnot. They don't make this very easy.
So, Gorilla Geeks, while mainly still good guys, weren't able to fix my problem with this. They had it for 3 days, never called me, and then told me 'it's either the power supply or the mother board.'. My mom came down this weekend, traded me my tower for the new laptop and took it to Best Buy. Within a couple hours, they knew it was the motherboard and were helping her figure out what to do. Thank you Geek Squad in Best Buy. Spring break might be full of possible computer shopping and all sorts of fun things like that. yay.
Speaking of SB, I can't wait. I need to catch up on sleep and I need free time where I don't have meetings I must attend to or classes. I will be able to cuddle up with my mini dachshund and sit on my butt all day if I want to (not that I will, but it's good to have the choice!). It'll also be good to see my mom and sister. I haven't seen Nikki since Feb 5th (long story short, it was my grandpa's funeral that brought her back into town, same with me.
I figured out my summer schedule finally!!! I get to do CARES (which I'm really excited about because it's a lot of fun!) and I'm taking two summer classes (So techinically a full time student with 6 hours). I'm taking Psychology and the Law for the first session and the second session is Criminal Psychopathology. It'll be fun... lol. I was going to take a class called Death & Dying, but the hours wouldn't work with CARES and last time someone in our family took it, a person died. Talk about irony. I figured since I don't have a husband yet and all of the male people in my close family are all gone, I shouldn't have a problem with it, but just in case... lol. Maybe I'll talk to Julie (my advisor and the prof for that class) and see what she thinks. I wouldn't be there for 4 Mondays in June, but it's just one hour each day. We'll see.
It's going to be lonely down here this summer. This town literally empties when summer rolls around. Of course there will be other summer students and everything, but ya. I'm def getting a job to keep my busy so I'm not just sitting around twiddling my thumbs!
My schedule this week:
- Monday - Classes at 10, 11, 1, & 2, meeting (I think) at 3:30, class at 4:30 - 7:30. Study. Sometime in there call housing and ask about registering new computer.

- Friday - No 10 o'clock class, but yes for the rest of them. leave to go home. YAY FOR SPRING BREAK!!!!
Ok, so I just looked down and realized that it's like, 10:20. When I last looked at the time, it was about an hour ago. Look at how typing and facebook passes the time. haha.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot! We had Jr Jungle Day on Sat. That was a ton of fun, actually. I helped out all day, starting with directing people where to go outside of Grubbs, went to helping show people where to go between presentations, and ending with giving tours to the awesomly cool people. The funny part about my tour on Sat was that both kids were from Andover Central. Joe and Tyler, I do believe were their names. They actually talked back to me and their families were enjoyable too. I did have two other girls in my group but they left us at lunch. =( It was all good though because I had fun and I hope Joe, his dad, and Tyler and his family all had fun. I try to be entertaining!
Well, the library closes in a 1/2 hour so I'd probably wrap this up so I won't be rushed later on.
Later, Loves!
