back up my files

The charger for my laptop went dead a little while ago. When I got a new one, rebooting was a complicated mess! I got nervous and decided to move this list up on the priority scale. I made a file of my documents to put on a data disk, only to find out that my cd burner is busted! So, I’m going to print out some of the documents that I would be really bummed if I lost and leave the rest to wait and see. The semester is only three weeks longer, after that I won’t need my computer to do schoolwork. Then I can send it to the right people to see what’s up with the disk drive.

As if having an “accident” once wasn’t enough.
I need a big a wake up call.

Finally got around to it! It’s a pity I’m always adding new music so it’s hard to keep track of what I have backed up or not

“whirrrrrrrrrr…ping!” (computer freezes)
“cccccccccrrrrrunccchhh”
“brrrrrrr”
“whirrrrr …” (computer unfreezes)

that ping did not sound healthy.

time to back up my files. now.

must do this more often.

Months later, mission accomplished. I want to test the CDs I burned, however, before marking this as complete. Almost done.

yay! it’s done! and I won’t think about it again. :-)

I should do this. I ran out of CDs. Yeah, that’s my excuse.

I was prepared to do this today, but then I realized that I am out of CDs, so no can do. Luckily, I’ll be going home next Wednesday or Thursday and I know my father hoards blank CDs as if they were going to disappear from the market, so I can use some of his.

I have copies of most of my writing and music files, but not all of it. I would be heartbroken to lose it. And I have pictures on my computer that are nowhere else. I really have to back it all up. It’s going to be a massive project. Maybe next weekend.
