This last week has been the hardest week for me this semester. This year, actually.

And it’s not because I had a ton of work to do or fights with people. No, instead it’s because I’m a dumb ass and break things easily.

My harddrive crashed last Monday night. And by crashed, I mean the disk actually shattered. Trying to boot up, my computer sounded like it was playing plinko as the pieces moved around as it tried to spin.

So, no recovery possible. I’ve lost everything. All of my papers, all of my notes, all of my music. I had to skip class last Wednesday for an emergency trip down to Sacramento and the Apple store.

I’ve come to grips with losing everything. The most important things I was working on — a research paper and a poem — I had emailed rough drafts of to Josh, so I have those to work with. I’d have been so bitter if I had to start that poem over from scratch.

Things will be silent around here for just a little bit longer. I’m slowly piecing back together my computer and the things I need, and there are three weeks left in the semester with four papers that have to get written, along with a huge InDesign project and trying to piece back together my Sociology notes to study for the final.

I’ll miss you blog. Not as much as I miss my harddrive, but still.
