Well crap...

Tuesday night, Chris and I were using his computer to watch 'The West Wing". Everything was fine and dandy. On Wednesday morning, I moved his computer from the kotatsu table to the crap chair (remember, the chair that no one uses that we just pile crap on?). Then, Wednesday night (last night), Chris turned on his computer...and nothing happened. The little processor light flickered dimly but then stopped. It's dead. This is very bad news. Very bad. So keep your fingers crossed for us. We are hoping that we can revive it or find someone who can fix it here. The good news is that it's under warranty still AND the warranty is valid over seas. The bad news is that we have NO IDEA where we should take the stupid thing. It's possible that it's dead for good. I really really hope that's not going to happen. If it does, I just PRAY that we can salvage the hard drive. Chris has hundreds of dollars of eBooks on his computer, plus all his papers and stuff from college (which he needs to submit for Grad school). So boo for that. Just keep your fingers crossed for our computer situation. We really don't need to be spending another $1000 on a new computer. >:-(

The stupid thing is that we always figured it would be MY computer that pooped out first. Oh well.

In better news, classes went well today. My first graders (highschool sophmores) did well with their oral reports. Only one student was completely unprepared. He did very well with improvising though (well, at least after I reminded him of the format). And then, we played an easy game and the kids had fun with it. My 6th graders (elementary students) were also very good for me. We were decorating nametags and just chatting today. It was veyr fun, even though they made fun of me for pronouncing their names badly. Oh well. It was still fun and cheered me up.

I was kinda down because of the whole computer fiasco, but that helped perk me up. Little munchkins. Unfortunately, I found out that until the end of the month, my 15 minute class are going to be reduced to 10 minute practice because of sport's day crap. Boo.

And now, for some completely random Japan pictures with no explanations unless you beg!
