It’s That Time of Year Again
April 5th, 2011 | Categories: Life, School, Technology, Travel, Work | 5 CommentsIt’s that time of year again… The time where the end of the spring semester sends my stress levels skyrocketing and I am perpetually almost at breaking point.
This year, I’m freaking out over final exams, final papers, making a summer travel itinerary (and organizing everything that comes with a self-planned trip in southeast Asia), trying to coordinate a summer internship, preparing for my summer employment opportunity, figuring out if I have places to live… The list goes on. And to top it all off, my beloved MacBook gave out on me, so I am currently computerless.
Till my computer gets fixed (I have a Genius Bar appointment tomorrow and I’m hoping it’s not a big issue, so it should be fixed soon) I’m going to be scarce. I’m relying on my roommate’s spare netbook and my iTouch for my computer/Internet fix, but neither are ideal for blogging, unfortunately!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
Eep! Sorry to hear about your computer woes! Seems they always die at just the moment when you’re at your stress peek. (My brother’s just died yesterday… he’s freaking out.)
Good luck with everything, Manda!
Sorry about your laptop breaking! I hope that the guy at the Genius bar can fix it all up for you, or that you get to get a temporary spare computer while your’s is getting fixed. Good luck on all of your work!
Sucks that you’re laptop is busted :( I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s nothing too major and that it will get fixed soon.
Sounds like you have a busy spring ahead of you, good luck with all your need-to-do stuff! Don’t get too stressed, and remember to breathe and relax even if it’s just for a little bit. That usually helps me when I have lot on my plate and get stressed.
Good luck for your exams, I am in the same stress filled time urgh :(
[...] My trip to the Apple store in Beijing to get my MacBook repaired taught me several things. First, like everything in Beijing/China, the Apple store was HUGE. Second, those working at the Genius bar do not speak English, but they were very helpful and patient with my garbled Mandarin (how the hell do you say words like “trackpad” in Mandarin??). Third, the best thing anyone can do if they have an Apple product is to have AppleCare. [...]
