So uh yeah, yesterday?  Don't get me started on yesterday.  Not a good day for Snowball.

First I missed my first bus in the morning to go to school.  I thought no problem, I'll catch the nest one which would've gotten me to school half hour late for a 3 hour class, but I thought no problem.  Bus issues happen.  I could easily explain that.  But no I missed that bus as well.  Why?  Well, I caught the right bus to go downtown no problem.  I was on my way, everything was going great.  But as soon as we got to the downtown bus terminal so I could transfer to another bus, that bus was leaving.  Suffice it to say I did not catch it.

This is very bad.

I know what you're saying, “Can't you take the next one again?”  Sure I would be a little bit more late than usual, but that would work if only there was another bus going to school.  Oh yes my friends, that bus that drove away was not going to come back until 4 hours later!  Yeah, Welland Transit system, kind of doesn't like me at the moment.

So, I thought might as well come home, no use staying at a bus terminal to wait for a 4 hour bus that would've gotten me to school an hour after class ended, and that was my only class for the day too.

So I wait by the right bus stop at the station for the next bus to go home.  The bus drives up, I get on, surprised that it's early, but didn't think much of it.  The bus leaves, I notice it's going in another direction.  Not opposite to where I was going, but in a different direction.  I scramble around in my brain to figure out which route it was going to take, I conclude that the bus was going still in the sam direction of my house so I thought as soon as it gets close enough I'll get off and walk the rest of the way.  No biggie.

Wrong!  Big BIGGIE!

I notice the bus takes a quick left turn…..onto the HIGHWAY!  Oh crap.  I now figure out where this bus is going.

TO NIAGARA COLLEGE!!

But don't you go there?  Why are you still mad?

Yes, that is true I do go to A Niagara College.  Just not THAT ONE!

So, I'm sitting on the bus, after leaving my house around 6:40 am it is now 9:30am.   This is just not my day.

To make a long story short-er, I talked to the bus driver, he takes me back to the terminal after dropping people off at the College and I wait for the RIGHT bus to get me home.  Keeping always on a closer eye to see the sign on the bus telling me where it's going to go.

I get home around 10:30.

Phew!

Not quite……

As I'm about to sit down on my computer to email the professor letting me know of my absense, I notice the computer is off.  I thought odd, because I didn't turn it off when I left this morning.

So I turn it back on again.

Nothing.

I try again.

NoTHING.

I try again

NOTHING!

The computer turns on!

Woo Hoo!

No Woo Hoo!  Bad Woo Hoo!

Hard Drive won't boot up.  No Signal on Monitor, CD Drives won't open.

Yeah, after talking to Tech Support Services at Best Buy(which is where I got the computer from) that said it might be a power supply issue, but they are not sure.  It's going to cost me 40 bucks + whatever parts need to be replaced to get it fixed.

I don't have that kind of cash.

So I'm now sitting here 36 hours later with no main PC, sitting on my iBook blogging about this, and I'm still not sure what the problem is with my computer, and I can't bring it in until hopefully tomorrow.

Yeah, not a good day.
