I am Fairly Certain my Professors are Conspiring Against Me

I have 4 projects with presentations due the week after Thanksgiving. So much for enjoying family time.

Broken Computer

About 2 or 3 weeks ago I brought my lap top to school with me... something I never do... to make sure it would hook up properly for a presentation. I ALSO had my water bottle in my backpack. Somehow my water bottle exploded spilling at least 16 ounces of water on EVERYTHING. When I tried to turn my computer on it turned on, but the screen was completely blank.

Now I know it is an older computer... going on 5 years now... but it still works just fine. A couple days and a few tears later I took it to the apple store and figured out that by some miracle the water ONLY got in my screen. So all my files are still there. So I had to buy a monitor... but at least it wasn't a whole computer, which I wouldn't have been able to do anyway. Now I am stuck doing computer stuff at my desk in my room. I miss my lap top. Some day I will buy another one... but for now this is where I am stuck.

A Nice Side Effect

This semester I have a ton of group projects and presentations as well as individual ones. 9 in total. The nice thing about all of the times I've had to be in front of the class... as well as constantly getting in front of 5th and 6th graders and teaching? I'm no longer nervous at all to speak in front of people. Sweet.
