happy thoughts

My computer fried on Monday. Until the computer gods descend from the heavens and bless my poor little VAIO with their healing grace, I've lost everything -- my notes, my outlines, my videos of Brian and Gary playing Malaysian slayers. Finals start in ten days, so I've tried to cram my thoughts of rage and despair into little crevices of my brain. But those crevices should have been filled by now with rules about searches and seizures, piercing the corporate veil, and other doctrinal nuggets. Which makes me more than a little frustrated.

Thankfully, I've gotten some help from fellow classmates, for which I am tremendously grateful. I keep reminding myself that if the files are gone, they're gone, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm also trying to keep happy thoughts today because I don't want my negativity to catch some cosmic wave and reach my sister or Gary. She's taking the MCAT again today and he's preparing for trial, so they need all the good feelings they can get. To conjure these good feelings, I'm making Jack Johnson's "Upside Down" my anthem for the next three weeks.

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

MCT circa 2002 would be appalled.
