A day that I could just forget

So I thought yesterday wasn't that good a day. Well today was even worse!

10.30 am I turn my computer on. It doesn't work! It just keeps telling me to reboot it (or something like that) and asks me to press any key to continue. I do just that and the same text just appears on the screen again and again and again...

10.40 am I call to J-P ("computer guy" and one of the Finnish exchange students here) to tell him my computer hates me and asking should I throw it to the wall.

11.00 am J-P arrives to save me from computer hell

1.00 pm J-P has done trillion tricks and announces that I have to reload windows and that all my files might have gone to a "better place" called the heaven of disappeared files. YES! I have always wanted to lose everything I have on my computer...

1.30 pm I send thousand text messages to my mom to keep up her pressure to find my sosial security card (the american one). I need a copy of it for my "tax thing" that I need to send by next Tuesday. (Actually I probably should have sent all those papers weeks ago...They probably should be in the States by now...)

1.45 pm I send one more text message to mom just to let her know that what she is looking for could be in that white drawer by the door...or then in the one by the window...come to think of it, it could also be in one of my cardboard boxes in the attic...

3.00 pm I try to concentrate on reading my lecture notes for the tests. Only thing though that runs through my mind is that where the heck are all my files and why my computer hates me. I was thinking about back up copies a week ago. But it doesn't help me now that I thought of them, I SHOULD HAVE DONE THEM TOO!! I feel like Carrie Bradshaw when she lost her files in the sex and the city...

3.15 pm Great, fridge is empty. Time to eat instant mashed potatoes again (just the 3rd day in a row). I look out the window. Great, it's raining! I run to balcony to save my clothes, but they are a bit wet already. When I get back to the kitchen my bread in the toaster has burned. Just lovely. I'm starting to think that instead of Friday 11th, today must be Friday 13th!!

But there's also something good in all of this. At least I know that tomorrow must be a whole lot better day!
