Good Riddance Evil Laptop

Hello again readers...if I have any. Today I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Today I feel as though I am light as a feather and if gravity wasn't constantly pulling me down and anchoring me to the earth I would be floating up, up and away. Up to the heavens. Alas, gravity exists so here I am dutifully following it's laws.

I am so light because, after much stress, anxiety, worrying and tears my application for graduate school is sent off. Well, mostly sent off. There are a few loose ends, but the major grunt work is done and over with. Boy does this feel wonderful.  Or at least it felt wonderful until my old laptop which contains every single paper I ever wrote on it decided it would end it's life with one final act of f*** you Devon. It decided that it would die off on my just as I was trying to email the paper I had chosen for my academic writing sample to send off to Lesley. I had just spent an hour proofreading, and fixing the paper so it was amazing aaaaaand lost. But worry not, dear reader, because see God has a plan and we can't always see it, but he has one. My senior year of college, I didn't have a printer, which meant whenever a paper was due I had to email it to myself, drag my butt out of bed 30 minutes earlier than I usually would, and trudge over to the library before class to print it out. It made me rather grumpy at times, and when the library wasn't open when I got there, it made me slightly homicidal at 7:20am on a Monday morning. However, this means that there is a copy of every single paper I wrote my senior year just sitting there in my email account waiting for me to access it. See? Told you, there is a reason for everything in this world and we can't always see it at the moment.

So, keep your head up, you might be going through some tough time (not saying that whatever you are going through parallels my paper problems, I'm sure that is nothing compared to what some people face every morning, and I'm not saying my life is horrible or anything, this was a minor pain in the butt) or facing something that's just plain annoying, but there's a bigger plan out there, we just can't see it. Sometimes it takes hindsight to realize that whatever it is we went through was just preparing us for some little setback further down the line that we are now equipped to handle.
