Lemons

     So, I understand that I have not posted since July.  The 13th, to be exact.  I apologize.  I have been busy.  By which I mean, I have been preparing armor and other Renaissance-y apparel for this year's Renaissance fair.  And packing for college.  Also, in my defense, I had to send my computer in . . . again.  Which is what I am posting about today.  I am posting to complain.
     So here's the deal:
     I sent my computer in to get the battery replaced and the graphics card checked.  You see, it was having issues whenever I played games, like Minecraft.  For example, after playing for awhile, it would just turn off, like it had gotten too hot, or something.  However, if I took the battery out and played, my computer would do just fine.  So, the people at Best Buy said it might be the battery or the graphics card.  Also, the charger randomly stopped working.  I had two days left on my warranty.  As a result, I sent it in.  If I could get stuffed fixed still, and not have to pay for it, why not, right?
     So, they replaced the battery, and the motherboard (for the third time) and I get it back.  Everything is all fine and dandy until I go to use a USB hub.  I have four, two on each side of the computer.  The two on the right side will not work.  Now, I have a wireless mouse, with a little USB stick that plugs into the computer.  Things were working fine, and then, all of a sudden, this message appears:

           There has been a power surge in one of the USB hubs (or something like that).  Please remove the                device, something, something, something . . .

     Yeah, you get the picture.  Bad stuff.  So, it said I could reset the hubs, and they would be fine.  Every time I start up my computer, it gives me that warning, and I have to reset stuff all over again!
     Will someone please tell me why I always get the lemon of the group?  Toshiba is normally a pretty reliable laptop.  I just happened to buy the lemon.  The beginning of the summer, I got a new mattress; it had a spring about to poke through the side, so as soon as I got it, I had to take it right back to the store and wait for a new one.  My aunt gave me the frame for a daybed; a screw had broken off in one of the holes to bolt it together, so we had to manhandle it to get the frame together.  I get a phone with a keyboard that slides out, that's normally pretty good, but if you send a message and then slide the keyboard back in, the phone will restart and not send the message.  Lemons, lemons, lemons!  That's all I get.  Ridiculousness!


     Okay, so moving on.  I've been at college for a week, now.  So far, all is going well.  Right now, I'm trying for the position of copy editor for the college yearbook; I thought I'd branch out, try new things.  Try not to be such a recluse, you know?  But, I have to finish my application, still.  Hopefully, I get it.  That would be awesome.

     Well, I should get to working on that.
