Blogging from school + update on the unhappy laptop

I'm at that point in the day where I have nothing but good news to talk about.  Therefore, now must be the time to write a blog post. 

MY LAPTOP IS WORKING NOW!!  Thanks to my dad and intelligent people on the internet, I figured out what anti-virus program to download and how to run it, and now everything is ok.  It also turned out that it was me who installed--that's right, installed--that evil, fake "security update" virus to begin with.  Virus attacks can hardly get more depressing than that.

But thankfully, now everything's ok, and we're going to look into installing Linux (to replace Windows Vista). 

I woke up this morning and watched the first episode of Good Mythical Morning on YouTube--it's a radio talk show, of sorts, where they discuss random topics with lots of (usually) family-friendly humor.  Great episode, by the way. 

Then I attended the 8:00 history class, and I got accepted from the unofficial waitlist!  This class (and my two other history classes) is taught by the excellent professor who taught Russian History last quarter, so I'm super grateful.  And I happened to get a seat next to a lady I knew in Calculus class, so that was cool, too.

Altogether, this is 180 degrees from yesterday afternoon/evening.  Now, as long as tech writing class isn't too scary, my day is made.  ;)
