Urgh

Lappy crashed again.

Seniors' Farewell Party

BBQ on the Queen's Lawn. Freshers, juniors, seniors, graduating seniors. A personalised souvenir, thoughtfully crafted from into a test tube by the new committee. So many faces… people you've never met before, faces without names and names without faces, people you wished you could have known better, and people whom you thought you knew well [...]

Tech CPR

So the days go by, and I sit by my laptop, salvaging whatever I can. I have my documents backed up in my 3rd external HDD, and in a cruel twist of fortunes that HDD has become unreadable, unformatted, and inaccessible.
