Hello from my dorm's computer lab. I spilled a bottled Frappuccino on my laptop today and now it's completely lifeless. Lovely, right?
This couldn't possibly have happened at a worse time. Finals are less that three weeks away, and I'm horribly, horribly behind in all of my schoolwork. This morning I woke up less than 2 hours before western civ class, read Books 2 and 3 of The Aeneid, wrote a 2-page essay, drank half of a Frappuccino, and ran to class. When I got back to my dorm, I curled up in my bed, reached over to turn on my lamp so that I could read 3 chapters of my biology textbook... and there went the remainder of the morning's coffee. All over my poor laptop's keyboard.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
Classes aren't going all that well these days - my guaranteed A's are slipping through my fingers as I get lazier and go to class hungover more often. I've had this attitude for years now, and I always manage to make things work at the last minute, but... I'm tired of just making things work. I want to be exceptional again. I want to be someone my friends admire, like I used to be. I want a guaranteed spot in top-ranked med schools when I graduate.
And how am I supposed to catch up now with no laptop?
