Well... I am being a little dramatic, but what happened was pretty terrible... Last night/this morning my laptop was stolen. To make matters worse my thesis was on that laptop. "Didn't you have it backed up," you might ask? Of course I did, however the jump drive I had it backed up on was with the computer at the time of its abduction.
The story goes:
I took the bus to work last night and took my laptop with me as I had an appointment in the morning with my committee chair. I don't have a locker at work so I took the case to the substation between my patients rooms and put it under the desk. Two of us were working out of that substation and for most of the night either myself or Katy was occupying the desk. This morning when I reached under the desk to get my bag, it was gone!
Poof, just like that my entire life's work was gone. I suppose it wasn't my whole life's work, but it sure seems like it. I had worked for months on that. My literature review, my needs assessment, my research data, and my curriculum all vanished.
I now have 53 days to recreate my entire project, have it translated into French and have a deliverable project on plane en route to Kigali, Rwanda. Logistically, it's impossible but I am reminded that with God all things are possible. I just has to happen, there's no other option.
So here's to minty coffee and late night curriculathons!

But it's fixed! It's better now! New computer! Not only did more people now have a chance to share in your project, but I'm sure this computer will make the task of working on the project more efficient! Congrats.
Yes, it is fixed! I'm just slow at updating my posts! The next post is going to be a doosey! :)
