Why oh Why

Well, I have been putting together in my mind for the past few weeks a few blogs I was going to write about my trip home and Christmas. All of these involved lots of pictures, witty commentary, and heart warming stories (actually, I don't know if there are any of those--it just seemed like that would complete that sentence nicely). Well, a few days before I was to return back to school, I noticed my computer stopped charging in the middle of the night. Well, I didn't pay much attention to it because I was able to get it to start charging again by twisting around the charger. I came back to school on Monday, and on Wednesday I realized that my computer would not charge. So I went to the BYU computer place, hoping they would tell me my charger cord was broken; not the charger port. Well, my hopes were shattered when the rather annoying, most likely a mac user, informed me that the charger port on my computer was broken and had to be repaired, but they wouldn't be able to until I brought back information on my warranty. He then went on to tell me that I should just get a new computer, because this might happen again, and how much he hates HP computers. I just wanted to be like "Well, if you are so sure that I need to replace my computer, why don't you dish me out 800 bucks for a new one!" Of course, I never usually say things like that outloud, so I just smiled and walked away. So I went back to my apartment and contacted HP. They told me that they would fix my laptop, but it would take about 15 days altogether. Well, considering one of my classes is online, this was an issue. I went back to the computer fixing place, and there was another guy there, who seemed to know more about what he was saying than the first person. He told me that they weren't allowed to do things that had to do with the motherboard of a computer, and that I would have to send it in to HP. Then he told me the horrible news. HP would wipe clean my computer before sending it back. That means all of my thousands of pictures would be deleted. However, he kindly suggested I transfer all my files to DVD's. So that is what I've been doing the last few days. Luckily for me, my brother Daniel is nice enough and keeps coming over to let me use the battery from his computer (because I can't charge mine). It's taking forever, but at least I won't be losing those files. For some reasons, chargers never seem to work for me. I'd say about 3 of my 5 phones which I owned had issues with chargers, and now the computer. I must be cursed. Right now I'm using a ghetto rental laptop from BYU. It cost 40 dollars to rent. For two weeks. Rip off? I'd say so. But oh well. So anyways, all that is the reason why I haven't put up any epic Christmas Break blogs yet. I'm sure all of you are really sad about this, but don't worry, I'll work on getting it up after I get my files transfered.

The End. Feel free to leave comments of how much this stinks. haha
