Yay technology!

So today I was forced to reformat my laptop after my Windows installation mysteriously corrupted itself and became virtually unusable. Besides killing 2 hours of my night, this normally wouldn't be that big of a deal, except that this is far from the first problem I've had with computers in recent history. My previous laptop, an HP Pavillion dv6045nr, broke down approximately 4 times in the past year alone, ultimately resulting in it being replaced by Best Buy with my current notebook (an Asus, never again will I purchase an HP computer), so naturally I was scared that I had somehow come into ownership of yet another lemon.

Luckily, it turned out that the problem was fixable merely through reinstalling the OS, but the timing of this event has made me question much about myself. Recently I've been having serious doubts about whether Computer Science is the correct field for me to be in. I'm starting to think that all of my computer troubles of late are a sign from some higher power that I need to be doing something else with my life, perhaps something more meaningful. But what? I don't have any real passions about anything, and changing majors on a whim would just cost me money and fuck up my graduation date. It would be awesome if these higher powers that are watching over me would just send me an e-mail explaining what they want of me, because it seems I just can't take a hint.

Speaking of which, it seems that OpenOffice.org is refusing to install on my computer now. This is especially nice since I have a Philosophy paper due tomorrow. Sweet. I guess I need to go figure out what's wrong...

...oh wait, I already know what's wrong. Computers fucking suck
