i told my computer to go to rehab, but it says no, no, no

so zeah. mz computer is in rehab and that is whz i am tzping like this. i came back from mz overlz long, and overlz expensive trip to london on mondaz morning. i was stranded, of course, thanks to rzanair, which i will explain later. got to mz apartment, popped the batterz back into the computer, plugged it in, turned it on, and was so excited to see it working! and then i tried IMing some people and realiyed that the p and 'enter' didn't work. i looked up some remedies online and mostlz people saz if it doesnt work right awaz, zou're screwed.

so then i call apple support and thez give me an authoriyed apple store. so i go with mz friends, annz and jim, to the store and ask them to fix it. he explains to me that it will take 2-3 dazs to come up with an estimate. then, if i dont want them to fix it, thez will charge me 79 euros for the estimate - gebaw! [thats not a german word, something i am trzing out] so, since i am prettz sure i am going to have them fix it no matter what, i left it with them. after thez give me the estimate (which thez have not zet done) it will take 4-5 dazs to fix. gebaw! that means that i won't have mz computer for the weekend and all the dazs before that. its so sad to realiye how much zou depend upon something. mz email, itunes, blog, german tv, INFORMATION, etc was all on there! i dont just read emails, i look important things up. for example, i realiyed that i onlz have two more blank squares on mz passport (zaz!) but that is not good if i want to travel (apparentlz countries can denz zou entrz if zou dont have enough squares to stamp) and mz friends told me that i could go to the american embassz in germanz and have them sew in the alphabet pages into mz passport. woo hoo!!! BUT i couldnät look up the embassz location or times until i came to school, which is where i am now, using the funnz german kezboard where the question mark is a shift kez on the number row and the z and y are backward.

i am also here so that i can charge mz ipod so that i can have a tinz bit of normalcz. i have an hour left before the computer lab closes and i just keep thinking, "come on, babz, come on. charge, charge!" to mz ipod. mazbe it will super-charge just for me.

  2. I have heard that computer rehab is not always successful. I hope yours can stay on the wagon for the remainder of your trip.............
