Yep. I was right. My computer crashed. I went downtown today to bring it to the Mac store, hoping that they could magically fix it. Sadly, that wasn't the case. It was still a pretty nice afternoon though, especially considering the circumstances. I went into Barnes and Noble while waiting for my appointment at the "Genius Bar." At first I was determined to be a responsible history student and get some sort of historical book, but soon gave up and decided to indulge and just get a light read. I ended up compromising, buying a book on Paris during WWII. The last sentence of the description sounds promising: "Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy--in their towns, their homes, even in their hearts." I was debating on whether or not to get it, but "hearts" got me. I'm a sucker for romance. I'm going to be very upset if I was mistaken and they weren't talking about romantic love. Anyway, after reading the book for a while, I went back to see what the verdict was with my computer. Sadly, they aren't able to retrieve the data. I got numerous people asking me if I had backed up my hard drive. Considering I didn't even know that was an option, the answer was no. The Mac store was pretty entertaining though. It was odd to see so many computer-savvy people all in one place. All in all, it was a good afternoon. Its always nice to get off campus and do something out of the ordinary on a school day.
