just checkin in.

so... crazy past several days. and i really do not have a second to blog... but just wanted to say hey because i did check a couple of big things off my list, therefore, i justified a quick blog.

so this week...
1. need to be done with first part of restaurant feasibility project.
2. case study for Quality.
3. test in Hospitality Marketing.
4. test in Global Hospitality.
5. Casey Payne's wedding!!!

plus the stuff that just occurs every week... class, ADPi, RUF... etc.

and guess what happened yesterday morning... as Best Buy put it... the motherboard on my computer was "fried"... my computer died. i think i cried as though a person had died. and my phone was trying to die too. hmm.

needless to say, i did not make it to the sad AU/Kentucky game last night. at least i didn't miss anything too wonderful. so sad, auburn :(

so... mom came to the rescue.

and guess what i got...

a MAC! so... i switched to the other side... which i've wanted to do for a while. i have heard over and over and over... of course you are having computer problems, you have a PC. however, i am not even close to being computer literate, but from what i have observed in others and in my own life and through the input of those much more knowledgable than myself, i feel much more secure with a mac! :)

so, a happy ending to my sad story... however, i still have my checklist to complete and i haven't made a very big dent. but, the mac is encouraging and make doing my work a little more fun. i am still trying to figure things out... today i sent the same e-mail 5 times... and to make it worse it was to, like, 10 people.

but, you know... i just have to trust that God is working in this craziness and that He is teaching me... teaching me how i am way to dependent on my technology. how, he is bigger than a computer. and how he is the only one that i really can rely on. i do not really know how the mac works into all of this. and, i cried when my parents told me they would get me a new computer... not because i was happy but because it overwhelmed me to spend that money. my mom said "kate, your dad and i are not crying so you can stop crying" and i did and then graciously accepted the new gift.

so... thanks mom and thanks dad for taking care of me in my moment of overload. i felt like my old computer... fried. and, its amazing what a mom can do! a wave of refreshment...

so, i must return to work... but hopefully i will return to blogging soon :)
