My Computer

My computer is dying. Some wires that connect the two halves of the laptop are apparently no longer functioning so the monitor doesn't really work anymore. I have to position it just right and not move it. It's only a matter of time before it's completely unusable. My friend, who says he knows about these things, thinks it's not something that could be fixed and I should just buy a new laptop. I've been researching prices and I think I could get one for about $650 USD. This was not in my budget, so I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do yet. If I buy one, it will be soon, because prices will be higher outside of the city of Yogyakarta. I bought an external hard drive so I could back everything up before it dies completely.

That's my current dilemma but otherwise everything is going really well. I'm still struggling to find an Internet connection fast enough to upload photos. I was told that I may have Internet access at my school when I start working, so maybe that will be fast.
