What Can I Say? This House is Falling Apart

Lots of things to talk about right now.  First, I feel like I should mention that I am currently sitting in my local Apple store because of Murphy's Law decided to strike on Thursday but I'll get to that. 

This past weekend, I got to go to DC to spend time with some of my favorite people.  It was a quick trip but definitely a necessary one.  I got to spend a whole day with the wonderful Campbell which was a lot of fun even with the rain.  Big Boy Campbell and I had never really spent time together so discussing things like how Lizzie and I are sisters like he and Reagan are brothers was extremely entertaining.  I wish I had more time to spend with his big brother but I know that I will make this happen on a visit and will not wait quite as long to go back.

I forgot how much I really did love DC.  I say that all the time but now I realize that I still don't really want to live there, it's a little too humid for me, I like my summers warm but not sticky.  I don't do sticky.  It was nice having public transportation all weekend and not worrying about parking and such.

So now getting to why I am sitting in the Apple store.  I am taking a Web Development class this summer.  It is scary and intense and will be essentially a full time job all summer.  I came back from DC and continued to finish the prework I was supposed to complete prior to my course starting, everything was good for about two days.  I planned to finish the rest of my work on Wednesday but my computer had other ideas.  Long story short, my hard drive crashed, I'm an idiot and didn't have everything backed up so I had to have the whole thing recovered in addition to a new drive installed. 

My computer should be ready Monday or Tuesday but that still means a fair amount of school time without all the programs I need.  I do have the best mother and sister ever though.  Both of them have lent me their computers (well Lizzie's old one) so I could try to make them work.  Hence, the second trip to the Apple store this week, to update the operating system on my mom's computer.  It is taking what feels like a million years to install but slowly but surely, I will make this happen.  Seriously, my mom is the best though, she didn't have to lend me her computer let alone let me make all these changes to it but she is because she loves me and doesn't want my head to explode. 

This is going to be an interesting summer and apparently I will be reflecting on it online but I haven't decided if it will be here or somewhere else.  If it is somewhere else, I will post the link but I might want to keep the two separate.
