pc problems

My laptop crashed last Friday. And no, it wasn't the usual "blue screen" thing that I could have fixed with some recovery discs. It was something worse. I was reading the the news online (yes, I do this sometimes) and then just "Poof!", my laptop was dead. I tried to turn it on, then the blue screen came up so I thought it was okay but then weird noises started coming out of it. I immediately switched it off again, I was afraid it was going to explode. Then, I tried again to be a hero again and the stupid thing won't even load into Windows.

So, after having decided to not act like I know what was wrong, I sent it to a service centre where hopefully the people know what they're doing. The only shitty thing about it is... I did not backup my data. Being a third year student who's academic life revolves 50% around computers, I almost smack my head to the wall thinking about my stupidity. But of course, I didn't because somehow, I wasn't too bummed about it.

I was somehow quite calm about it. Weird. The only thing I thought most of was what (new) laptop I was going to get me if that one is just beyond repair. In fact, I already know what I'm going to get. But, you and I both know that it's not going to happen.

So, until I get a call from the place I sent it in, I'll be using my sister's ancient laptop which I promise I will take good care of. Honest.
