Failing.

Failing in so many ways.

If college has taught me anything, it is to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE anything done on the computer. Sometimes even this will not save one from utter catastrophe.

I spent my day in the library, for a total of 12 hours working (on and off...) on a statistics assignment due the next day.

For a while it seemed hopeless that I would ever understand the correct usage of the "confidence interval for the mean" formula.

For dinner I had pizza, salad, and cookies. Not vegan. In any way. But the Trail Room has limited options. That's not to say there weren't vegan options though.

After a brief study sesh with other stats students, I felt more confident in my abilities.

At 2:30 a.m. I saved the excel document, multiple times, uploaded the file to Webdisk, closed excel, and opened the Webdisk file to find THE ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT GONE.

I proceeded to stare blankly at the walls of my room and then rapidly search through my entire computer to make sure I wasn't missing anything. And then I went back to staring for a good 30 minutes.

Finally, I flopped onto my bed, completely exhausted and nothing to show for it.

In addition, I now have no assignment to turn in, and nothing to study for the midterm on Monday, because this was the only assignment of the unit.

I remain exceedingly grateful that the loss of homework is the most extreme problem I face in my life, and that I am privileged enough to have such a problem.
