Computer Problems
When I get inspired to blog and have great posts all lined up, my computers seem to kick the bucket. Last time my Dell stopped working, my dad gave me his old laptop so I could still type (ok it was for homework not for blogging but who is counting). Now that laptop seems to [...]

Immigration Woes
