My reading list has been delayed by the breakdown of my laptop. This is the second time it has crashed on me. The first was during finals week in school...that week where I had to do final projects and study images for art history exams. Luckily studying for organic chemistry didn't require laptop. So I quickly brought the laptop to the school's OIT to fix it. It took them about 3 days to get it fixed. When I asked them what was wrong, they said virus (haha, go figure) and hardware failure. I figured that they think that I probably won't understand them anyways if they had said anything more than that (which is true), so I shrugged it off and left, happy to have my laptop back to finish my project. It lasted me for several weeks. Until a few days ago. When I turned it on, it wouldn't go past the start up screen and I ran diagnostics so many times. Luckily, the day before that, I bought an external drive and backed up all my files (pictures, movies, music, schoolwork). It was a miracle. Luckily, baby Phong's daddy works in computers so he was able to figure out what was wrong (harddrive failure). So he ordered Dell to send a new harddrive because I still have warranty (I didn't even know I had warranty!). What's more of a miracle is that I have 22 days left of the warranty! Whoo! And now, while on my sister's laptop (which I have to slam my fingers on the keys to type), I am awaiting the return of my laptop.
But anyways, after I finished Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, I started on Stephen Lawhead's Avalon: Return of King Arthur. I barely got past the first few chapters before the laptop crashed, so I haven't a clue how the book is in the long run. But with the first few chapters, it seemed very interesting. Now, hopefully I don't have to wait until the ebook expired on my library account to continue it. =[ that would make me very sad.
I had a sudden craving for Lee's Sandwiches (Vietnamese sandwiches), so this morning, my dad went to buy some. It was so good. I don't think I've satisfied the craving yet, so maybe that'll be my lunch tomorrow.
Corner Tip #18: Having connections really helps. Now I need a friend who's a lawyer and an accountant.
