My macbook is back, with pretty much all of my files intact, thank goodness. For some reason they decided that my music wasn't a priority? I called them and they said they'd try to recover it by tomorrow, and it's not super important but it'd be nice to not have to reacquire 30+ gigs of music all over again, especially on my crappy residence connection.
My stickies (my massive to-do lists, bank transfer info, money I owe people - basically a whole bunch of misc information that I don't have anywhere else), my hundreds of firefox bookmarks, and my copies of Office and Photoshop (the CDs of which I, ahem, seem to have misplaced) are all gone too. The stickies and bookmarks they should be able to get, Office and Photoshop not so much. I'm downloading trials of both for now and then I'll deal with it in a month.
I've spent the day reconfiguring the system to how I had it, trying to remember which programs I had installed, etc. Mainly though I am incredibly grateful that everything didn't disappear. My new little external hard drive is currently putting away backing everything up; I'm glad I got away from it with just a scare and some minor annoyance.
I'll get around to comments eventually, for now I have to focus on the two essays & midterm coming up next week. I'm pretty much booked, schoolwork-wise, clear through to December. Not doing NaNoWriMo this year was, sadly, probably a good idea.
In theatre news, my play wasn't accepted for the drama festival, and I didn't get into my college's charity show I auditioned for last week. Which brings my total number of theatre-related rejections in a row up to... six. I'm getting so much better at rejection now though, it's a good thing. Every rejection opens up new opportunities, right?
Finally, because I was so out of it I didn't even post about this,
OBAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!!! :D*
*I wrote this on my whiteboard on my room door the night he won, and woke up the next morning to the anonymous addition of "YES WE CAN!". I'm still pretty deliriously happy, I'll get all cynical again eventually but right now it's just making me smile like a crazy person.
