Last night, our one and only reliable laptop crashed. We did not plan for it to happen but it happened. Considering, Ajo had this laptop for about 5 years and with all the wear and tear it acquired over the years, the crash was inevitable. Ajo did back-up our data to an external hard drive about couple of months ago, but we may have some recent documents and pictures since then.
Whenever the unthinkable happens, there is a time period of havoc, hassle and halt. Ultimately, its a time when decisions have to be made. We have a couple of choices in front of us. We are debating, re-thinking, and weighing the pro and cons.
I am upset and more disturbed that the computer crashed while I was working on it. In addition to all the end of the semester deadlines for projects, papers, and presentations, that my truly beloved have to meet, now an added stressor comes to the scene. Life is full of unwanted surprises, unexpected events, and unforeseen challenges. Some are great, others are not so great. Regardless, we learn from these experiences more than from books, lecture halls, and research.
