Pre Turkey Day

Well I have an interesting story.

For a while my computer has been on the verge of death- its power cord refused to work until you wiggled it a little bit, and it was all around slower then hell. About three weeks ago my computer refused to go on the internet, so I would turn it off and reboot it each time because it was so impossible to actually get it to get on the internets without doing that. Anyway, it eventually wouldn't get past the boot menu, so I decided to do a system and hard drive check. It was an automatic thing, so I let it be. I thought it froze, so I just turned it off.

Bad idea.

It didn't even have a boot menu after that. So, after a few weeks me and my roommate got Ubuntu up onto a flashdrive and launched my computer up from there. the only problem was that it wasn't actually installing. So we did a memory check. Half way through that I bumped it off of a table. It crashed on the ground and just wouldn't turn on anymore. I eventually sent it off to my dad's computer shop, where they said it was FUBAR, and just last weekend my parents helped me get a new computer, which is what I am typing on now.

My Turkey Day was alright. Me and my parents just made some turkey and such by ourselves and had a good dinner and some left-overs. I spent almost the entire time working on a variety of papers and such... and spent pretty little time enjoying myself. I have finals coming up soon and the papers (an 8 page and a 15 page) are both due within the next week... gotta get working.
