So there was supposed to be an entry before now
Ok so I was gonna make a video blog last month but obviously it didn't happen. A lot did happen last month though, as I'm sure everyone out there is aware. And between one thing and another I got really stressed, started doing what I do when stressed which is overeating a bit, lost all progress on that front and now I'm really irritated with myself about it.
So the first thing that happened in the end of the school year was over the course of two days both my computers harddrive and my external harddrive crashed. I managed to save most of the data on my computers drive thank god, but everything on my externals drive is gone. Some of it is backed up on my drive back in America. But anything I have added since I came here is gone. All in all it sucked hardcore. I learned my lesson last tine and most things were backed up, but then my backup failed too. What are you even supposed to do when that happens?
But I totally lucked out in that regard because my warranty was still valid...by 16 days! Man that was close. Not to mention they honor that warranty in Japan! Go Mac! So I was able to speak to people in English about it and they picked it up, took to be serviced in Hiroshima, and brought it back. No charge no questions asked. And I got a new battery, for free, not sure why.
I'm just glad my baby is back, especially with the crazy that has been this last month.
There will be a video post soon, I've already recorded it!
