So, this is the story of how I made my life miserable. Simply b/c I have to type 9000 things this semester, I decided to be careless with my computer and drop it. Now luckily I caught it. Not so luckily I broke one of the keys off. I thought maybe it would just go back on. So I enlisted the help of my friends who tried to put it back on. And I then left my computer in the company of one person, while I went to a meeting. When I came back, two keys were off.
Good news, the comparison between the W key I broke and the E key my friend removed revealed that I needed replacement parts. This is good to know, since we could see that a bit of plastic was missing.
Bad news, the E isn't really working properly now, so potentially random intentional removal resulted in damage to the key sensor, not just the plastic.
Yeah I know I am typing here, but it is slow b/c I have to repeatedly hit the E key or backspace to add it. Annoying. Especially while writing long papers, and when I want to type fast not at a snail's pace.
Even worse news, Toshiba doesn't sell the bit of plastic to "end-users" which I guess means me. They only sell the entire keyboard.

Doctors Are Sadistic Evil Creatures
Went to the clinic today, b/c the glands in my throat on the right size were monstrously swollen. The doctor of course has to do a "culture", which being an anthropologist doesn't sound too bad.*
However, the method was to take this long spiky thing and jam it as hard as possible into the back of my already extremely swollen and sore throat. Doctor of course does preface this act by saying "it might hurt a little" A little!? I honest to God nearly cried. Supposedly I will feel better in 24-48 hours, which means that tomorrow whilst I am teaching I will be absolutely miserable.**
Incidentally, in reference to the notes at the bottom, I have decided I use ( ) too much, so I am reverting to footnotes. Just a change of scenery :)
*yeah, I know it was a bad joke
**even more so than usual
