worst day of my life

yes, i am actually saying that.
the most optimistic person in the whole entire world.
here's why.

as i wrote in my previous blog, this end of the week is brutal in terms of school work.
i was completely on top of things, and yesterday night i had just a paragraph to go on my paper due today and written half of my paper due tomorrow.
this morning i turned on the computer and was about to finish up my paper for today when the screen went blank.
a blue screen popped up and said something was wrong and if it was the first time seeing this message, to just restart the computer.
so i restarted the computer. only it won't turn on.
i tried a million times, did all the trouble shooting techniques i had used the last time my computer went weird, brought it to the computer guy on the ship.
no luck.

the conclusion was that i needed to take it some place to get it fixed.
WHAT THE HELL.
i had just sent the computer in to get it fixed in japan, paid close to $500 and it just bust on me in the middle of the ocean.
now i can't upload any pictures, which means i need to buy like a million more memory cards for my camera.
now i have to re-type my whole paper by tonight (yes, my professor said TONIGHT)
i have to write my other paper due for tomorrow.
i have to study for a test for tomorrow.
i have to read 100 pages for tomorrow.
and every single paper i need to turn in for the rest of the semester has to be typed in this compuer lab that is the following:
- towards the front of the ship which is really rocky and makes me nauseous
- always completely full (i sat in front of the lab waiting for a computer for 2 hours and no one moved)

i'm just crossing my fingers that a miracle happens and my computer recovers.
i had been taking such good care of it.
i didn't even turn it on much.

it's been 10minutes since i started typing this blog and i'm already in need to throw up.
the sea makes you turn in to things you usually aren't.
i have to finish these papers.
i have to pass this test.
they're all my first assignments.
i can't fall so early.
oh if only the rocking weren't so bad.
...wait a sec. i'm in the middle of the ocean.
tough luck aya.

our baby girl,
i am terribly sorry about the computer situation, i wish i could hurl mine across the ocean and you could use it. cause i think i'm just about done with writing papers. life's got to be better, right?
i know, you being the perfectionist and the hardworker will pull it through, and i am sorry that the boat is so rocky, and i am sorry for calling it a "boat" and not a "shit" i mean, a "ship."
here's a mantra for you: "this too shall pass". we will pray for you-- and shoot us some lovely blog entries by an optimistic, happy aya as soon as things are sane-r.
till then... love you and best of luck!
