24th and 25th of November, Monday - Tuesday
These two days have been the only schooldays this week. Two easy skinny days. But they weren't emotionally easy. My laptop broke, and it didn't work when I restarted it. That means, the situation is bad. Very bad.I gave it to Mr. Doty on Monday to take a look at it. He's a computer science teacher at Athena, but he gave it back on Tuesday with some bad news. The problem is probably with the hard drive. Which means, all the pictures, schoolwork, everything is lost.
On top of my cyber misery, my bus left me behind at the end of the day. Not like that's uncommon, my buslady is a very impatient woman. So Herb picked me up, and he wanted to cheer me up, so we went to McDonald's, for the first time. I've been joking about the fact that I haven't been there yet, because McDonalds seems like a really typical American thing, but now I can cross this off my bucket list.
I only ordered a cheeseburger, no wonder they gave me a McChicken. First McDonald's experience in the US, and they messed up my order. It's quite funny, luckily, the new sandwich is actually "healthier" and more expensive than we paid, so I didn't complain.
After lunch, we went to a computer specialist, to ask him about my laptop, but his deal was way too expensive to fix it.
At 5, Kim picked me up, and took me to their house. I was invited earlier the day for dinner, to say goodbye to Abbey, who's moving to NYC on the weekend. We chatted and had some delicious chicken. I always love going to the Masiello's. They have great food and I always learn something new.
A broken laptop is definitely bad news, especially for someone who keeps a blog going. I do hope you've gotten it fixed by now. I bet you were so glad Herb was around to help you when you found yourself in that situation. Hopefully, the past few days have fared a lot better than back then. All the best to you! :)
