And closing up on the first week of medical school, here is what has happened:
Sunday-Monday: My desktop, my baby, got either a virus or it just too old, etc. and completely froze up on me.
Monday: Spilled water, a lot of water, on my iPod touch. That I actually need for school (epocrates).
Tuesday: Somehow, the little pointer thing in the middle of the keyboard lost its cap. I have had the laptop for 7 days at this point.
Desktop status: After going THROUGH THE REGISTRY, to manually remove my virus software so I could install a new one, it's working. But after all the hours, I think I might just reload XP.
iPod status: It works, but the screen is almost black. Per the recommendation of the IT guys at school, put it in a bag of rice
to absorb the moisture. Didn't work. Put a hair dryer to the back, didn't work. So a trip to the Apple store tomorrow to see if I can get it fixed

Laptop: As trivial as it is, I went to the IT people and the guy in charge is the definition of awesome-took one look at it and went and ripped off the model one he received and gave it to me. So it looks like it's new, and not 5 years old
😀
Exam in 8 days.....so. crazy.
