Highs and lows of student life

Finally managed to get the dissertation and the professional practise unit handed in on Thursday - phew!! what a relief that was!!! neither are brilliant but they are done. Settled into a morning of taking photos of 'works in progress' ready for powerpoint presentation...only to download the images onto the laptop and for the laptop to die!! THANK GOD it happened an hour AFTER the big hand-in!!!...however, the relaxing Easter break hasn't happened as I frantically arranged for all the work to be salvaged onto an external hard-drive (I had backed up a lot of my stuff, but not all...).
I am also now the proud owner of 'Sammy' (my itty bitty Samsung notebook), which is going to tide me over until I purchase 'Mackenzie' (a Macbook), which I am buying because every one who has one, raves over 'Macs' and I'm a little disappointed that the HP laptop I had only lasted 18 months (broken graphic card that made more than 1 person wince when I told them what was wrong!)
Only problem now is - that I only have a limited trial of 'word/excel/powerpoint' on Sammy, and as it has no disc drive, I can't download my Microsoft Office disc onto in...the homework shall have to be very well planned before I use the trial time up on producing the presentation ready for our return to Uni in 2 weeks (I also hadn't quite managed to download last years presentation from disc to the laptop before it broke...so now that version is trapped on a disc which I can't access anymore as I don't have a disc drive!!!! gggrrr)....hopefully the Apple store will sort me out successfully and on time when I phone them tomorrow!
