My life for the past couple of days reminds me of a country song - on Monday evening, I got my final rejection from the universities where I'd applied for a phd. Depressed about that, I went for a drive and not only did the car's tire go flat, but the entire front strut rusted through leaving the car unusable without $500+ in repairs. Then, my computer began intermittently black screening, crashing completely by Weds morning. When I went to Dell to get it fixed, they admitted there was a problem and I was covered by warranty, but my account was on hold and they couldn't do anything for me until that was resolved. Confused by this, I went to their customer care people and was told that my computer, despite being in my name is still listed as being under X Company, the guy my dad bought it from on Ebay three years ago, and said company's account is on hold. They can't do anything until a) I'm out from under that company's account or b) the company is no longer on hold. Cue head hitting desk. I have no idea when or how this will be resolved.
Meanwhile, since we still have the car my grandfather gave me, and my dad has another car that's been waiting in our drive way to be fixed, he decided to junk the broken car, switch everything over to my new car for awhile, then get the other one fixed with the money from scrapping the old car. We spent a lot of time these past two days dealing with the old car and getting the new one registered and insured etc. I still have to transfer my Rutgers parking permit over to it tomorrow. Fun.
I'm so tired and depressed right now. This has been one crappy week.
