Horrid week for studies

 

So, it’s coming up to the end of the week and so far, my plans for studying have been horrendous to say the least. To say that Murphy’s Law, where anything that could go wrong, did go wrong is an understatement.

It all started last weekend. After virtual church, I left my laptop open to finish its system updates and auto-shutdown, I did because I have a habit of setting my laptop to auto-shutdown when the lid closes. To counter this, I usually partially close the lid just enough, not only so it doesn’t enable the shutdown process, but to also hinder Bubba from clambering onto it. Bubba is my 3-year-old ginger cat. He’s mischievous, self-centred and complains about everything. He’s adorable and I love him heaps. One of his many bad habits is laying down on my open laptop when its use or not. So, whenever I leave the laptop momentarily, I just close the laptop partially, which works 99.99% of the time, except for last Sunday.

You see, Bubba not only did he bust open the laptop with his chonky self, but he tipped my drink onto the laptop, and in doing so shorted out my laptop, my new laptop I only got a month ago. The same laptop where I didn’t tick the extra insurance to save some money, thinking my home and contents would pay for it, the same home and contents insurance that I found out through claiming, that it had lapsed, and the renewal email was in my spam folder, so I didn’t see the notice to renew in time. Thus, my claim was rejected.

So, to cut a long story short, I’ve to use my smart phone and my tablet to submit assignments. I do miss a mechanical keyboard. Luckily my old desktop is stored somewhere in the garage, so its just a matter of digging it out. Thanks for nothing Bubba.
