1. My computer is dying. I'm currently typing on my laptop keyboard, using my laptop hard drive, which is all hooked up to a desktop monitor. Awesome. It died on Saturday, the Saturday before exam week started, in which I have 2 exams (and all notes are on my computer) and one paper. I knew it was coming; my poor laptop was old and had been loved hard, and it had been acting funny lately. But I was hoping it would last through the week - to no avail. My IT-working sister-in-law tells me that it's a backlight problem, which is expensive and takes a long time to fix; but with the amount of issues my computer had, I don't think it's worth it. All in all, I'm actually pretty happy about all this. It came just when we got our giant tax return back (Thank you, Obama!) so we can (sorta) afford a new computer, and I've been dying to switch to Mac, so here's my chance. In the meantime, I'll use my ghetto hook-up - which just so happens to be a picture of the day. But, you'll have to wait until I get my new computer to see my latest pictures; it's not worth putting them on this laptop now!
2. We had an earthquake last night! It was crazy, and sorta terrifying. It was a 4.4 quake at 4:04 am (dun dun dun), and definitely woke up all of us, Charlie included. Jeremy tells me his head was filled with thoughts of "the big one" - the earthquake that will apparently send California into the ocean and our ultimate deaths - and Haiti and Chile and all the destruction there. I was just so disoriented that I didn't think of anything...until after. But, everything's fine. There was no damage, except for a large crack in a section of the highway that closed a lane or two for awhile, and some crooked picture frames on our walls.
Meanwhile, I'm writing a paper on homelessness prevention, and I keep telling Jeremy that if the whole job thing doesn't pan out for us once we finish school, at least I know how to find help. He tells me to turn off my Kelder Worry Gene. :)
Oh, and I lied - I can give you one picture of the day from awhile ago... Here's March 8: a bee on a California poppy.

1. Okay...it's good to know that you're not the only one who's had to deal with that. My whole life last years was exactly that...backlight problem on my HP. Then, I borrowed a monitor from someone and hooked my laptop up to it. And, now I have a mac (which I got refurbished - the mac version of resurrection)! I'm excited for you!
