Got My Laptop Fixed - Finally!!!
Hey everybody,
I’m so happy!!! I finally got my laptop fixed. It spent a month at home waiting for me to save the money to take it in, then spent another month at the shop while they got what I needed done confused. But, all is well and I’m writing this post on my laptop.
Total cost to replace the CPU cooling fan: $174.38. That’s a lot less than originally quoted and budgeted for, so now I have a little extra money. I’m very glad I chose to fix this computer. I’m also glad I got the desktop machine back in working order. Now I’ll just have to keep a closer eye on it to keep it running smoothly.
The extra money will help pay court costs and attorney’s fees when I file bankruptcy in the next couple of weeks.
It’s been a long week. It’s dead week, the week before final exams. My students are panicking and scheduling lots of extra sessions. I’m not sure whether I’ll be done Wednesday or Thursday next week. Thursday is the last day of exams, so that’s the absolute last day for this semester. I’ll have about 10 days off before I start summer tutoring for the 8th grade LEAP test.
During that time I’ll be working on my blogs, writing my son’s 7th grade homeschool curriculum, and drumming up more tutoring clients for the LEAP. I’ll keep you posted!

In the end, it’s always worth it to get stuff like computers fixed while you can.
Glad to hear about the extra money!

@Alex: Thanks. I’m glad to have the extra money. It will be well used while my income is down during the summer.
