Stupid Technology

In the grand scheme of things, I have very little to complain about. The big one, of course, is not being able to make a living by being a writer (yet!). Everything else in my life that I could complain about sort of pales in comparison.

That stated, technology can be a fickle, fickle thing. Friday I had my exam review class for the Shakespeare course I am taking (“Tragedies and Histories”), and my laptop had decided at some point between Wednesday and Friday morning to lose 3 days worth of lectures.

Now, normally, this would be a minor annoyance, but with the exam looming, this is 4.5 hours of lectures I have to re-watch, re-take notes on, and then start studying. I mean, the upside is that I am going to know Antony and Cleopatra really well! Downside… ain’t nobody got time for that! I have to be at work in about an hour today… thankfully I should have the required time afterwards, but this is pushing back the review part of “exam review” quite precariously.

Oh well! As I said, few things I can really complain about. Never enough time, not making a living from writing… and then everything else. Can’t be too upset about that, I suppose!

Hope everyone out there is safe and healthy!
