Deep Fried and In Over My Head

No, this is not about food, although I am hungery. Last night around 7:30 pm my computer crashed. I was in the middle of writing my NHS applications and English 11 AP paper. I rebooted my computer like I would for any normal crash, the Microsoft loading bar poped up just minutes later, then nothing. All I had was a black screen with my mouse. I freaked, I couldn't believe it, my hard drive, had crashed. Hurrying now I called John, his hard drive crashed last year and he had to buy a new one, to confirm that my hard drive was crashed. It had. All my papers I'd ever writen, all my parents documents, all our pictures, ALL MY MUSIC... gone, just like that.
CRAP!
What do I do now?
Wait amilessly and hope everything works out?
Of course not.
I reset my computer back to how it was the very first day I removed it from the UPS shipping box. It took me over five hours to recover all of the files that were backed up on my computer, which included almost nothing, not even Microsoft Word. Which really ruined my plans because I not only had my National Honor Society application due today, but also my AP paper that had specific instructions which included being typed and formated a certain way. My computer had become not my computer, it was just a computer, it had no personality or uniqueness to it. Depressed by my loss of my computer i went upstairs to see that the Steelers were down 13 to 3 to the Ravens... I was just about sick of telling my little brother to calm down and that its just a game before getting up to walk away when all of the sudden the Steelers were winning. They scored 14 points in 15 seconds. The Steelers ended up winning 23-20 in overtime which was the second brightest part of my day. I then went on to drink coffee and handwrite my AP paper until 2 a.m.

I went to school early to try to convince my teachers that I need more time. I convinced Mrs. Mc, which was probly the most important one to convince, but Mrs.K just wouldnt give me more time. however she was nice about it and said she'd have given me more time if i worked both lunches and still didnt finish typing it.

Moral of the story, go back up everything you dont mind lossing right now.
