Ok so to explain what's going on/ went on with my computer last night and today. Last night I'm writing my blog post and the warning comes up saying I should switch my battery or plug in. I do so as I will need it for class the next morning. I continue writing the blog post and the laptop turns off. I mean completely off, she was dead. I double check the chord make sure it's plugged in right just in case it's come loose or I didn't put it in right. It is fine so I check the plug and the box on the cable, both good but I notice the blue light on the box of the cable isn't on. I think it might be the outlet so I remove the cord and try another; nothing. The cord is completely dead; there is no power getting to the computer. Ned is in bed and it's late; I didn't have the patience, willpower, or the processing speed to deal with it right now, so I just go to bed. In the morning I mention it to Ned and while I'm in the shower he tries it and it works. It works as if there is nothing wrong nor ever was anything wrong with it. So I charge it for as long as I can then head to class with the cord. Get to class and plug it in… nothing… no light, no power. Luckily I didn't need to take notes today. Once out of class I start diagnostics if you will. I look up online if there is any recalls or issues or anything of the like; nothing. I try the chord and it is still dead. I smack it around a little, nothing. So I decide to be patient thinking, Ned tried it after it sat for a while… So after awhile I try it. It works. Unfortunately I have another class so I can't just let it sit and charge. I take it and the chord to try again in class. It works!! Sometime during this process I thought maybe it's if I plug it into the wall first it doesn't work… tested it in class and fail. But it was working fine so I didn't argue with it. It was able to charge to full capacity and I have needed to charge it since as of yet so I haven't tried it again… We'll see what happens.
At dinner today there was an interesting story going around. Apparently the English teacher pretty much said only real men quote Shakespeare. Well this raised a mass debate that lingers well beyond the time and walls of that English class. As expected, Ned and I got in on this, more with each other than not. This being said a girl at the table disagreed with the English teacher. At this point, I don't remember why, but Ned was latched onto me. (Comes in later) I have a little, polite, argument and finish by quoting the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet while looking straight into her eyes and with Ned on my arm. She got up and left because she was finished, but it was good timing because I pretty sure she had nothing to say to that.
Chapel was good tonight. The superintendent spoke, and brought in some very touching stories about moral failure of credential holders and well it scared me. I have my struggles, a lot of them, and I really don't want to have my life be like these stories. It impacted me, but I was exhausted for some reason and just didn't dwell in God's presence. On a positive note, I took leadership and prayed for one of my good friends. Well ado but you won't see this tonight as the internet is down here so you'll probably get two post in the morning or three in the night.
