Spring Break! Though I have to admit it didn't start feeling like spring break until today as I've seen a deluge of people coming back to the city from their respective schools. Before I forget, this week has definitely been a week of experiences both good and bad.

The bad: Tuesday morning I turned on my laptop and it didn't work! I felt like my entire life was lost....well not really but still!! And the worst part is all of my work for this past semester was not saved somewhere else, including the pages of research I found for my research paper just the day before. It was an incredibly stressful day. Found out that my laptop had a defected video graphics card that was ruining my motherboard...in other words, I needed to spend hundreds of dollars replacing most of the laptop.

The good: Tuesday night by the advice of youtube videos, I overheated my laptop and turned it off and on again and voila it worked!! Temporary fix but long enough for me to at least save all the important stuff.

The really really good: Wednesday
I had one of my most favorite Wednesdays of my life!
Started the day by being literally 3 mins late for my 2 hour PS 2 discussion (I was half an hour late the previous week and my GSI had me take the pop quiz I missed by myself in the corner....and I really do mean literally the corner..by myself....separated from the rest of the class) As I was running to get to class, I see the whole class walking out! Apparently my GSI was convinced that it was such a nice day that we would have discussion outside on the grass of Wheeler. A few more minutes late and I would have showed up to an empty classroom(they didn't even leave a note!). Outside discussion was such a wonderful experience. Everyone was just so happy :] smiles all around. plus a guy playing an accordion slowly walked by us so we had some pretty background music. plus plus a guy playing guitar sat behind our class the whole time strumming beautiful things pleasing to my ears. On top of that, discussion got cut 1 hr so I basically had the whole day free. And THEN I decided to stop by the berkeley laptop repair place and the guy said if I talk to LENOVO they should be able to set something. So I did.....and the person helping me out (Mark H.) basically said it wasn't my fault so even though my warranty expired, he's gonna set up an exception repair, and I can even get it fixed in Berkeley so I don't have to send anything in!! This already set me in a really good mood but to top if off, I decided to lay on the grass and work outside to enjoy the wonderful sun. Had to be one of the best decisions.

Definitely a day of me just being happy and smiling :]
