End of year excitement and frustration

This semester is a week away from being over- well, until finals. I have finished my two big papers of the year, and I am enjoying the somewhat chill classes. I have been having a great time in my photography class. We had an art show for the whole campus last Thursday, and I entered two photographs. When I went to the reception, after the judging, I was so overwhelmed when I saw one of my photographs had won Best of Show!!! I couldn't believe it! I mean, I liked my photo and all, but I would have never guessed it was the best :) After I left, I came home and spilled my win to my parents. They were so excited and proud. I have always loved photography, but this makes me want to pursue it even more.

Here I am by my winning picture:

While I had a great time doing that, I had a few rough days before that. I have been battling with my computer for the whole semester. Finally, I decided to take it in and diagnose the problem. After I backed up everything, the workers at OIT swapped my computer, and I was on my merry way. Well, that night, I just about went mental. The new computer I had just gotten WOULD NOT TURN ON. It figures that would happen right? So, after getting nothing accomplished, I had to wait until the next day to get another hard drive. I have a feeling the people over there are sick of seeing my face there! Today, my computer problems only got worse because my charger broke. The problem with this is that chargers and batteries are not covered by warranty here! I don't understand why everything else is covered but batteries and chargers. Everywhere I turn, someone else wants money from me- don't they understand I AM A POOR COLLEGE STUDENT who is saving for the future? Oh well. I am breathing right?
