"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

PEBKAC

~Sibling relationships - and 80 percent of Americans have at least one - outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust.
~Erica E. Goode


Alright, first things first. I feel pretty stupid. See, I have computer problems all the time. I kind of expect them, really. But I have a wonderful brother who is amazing with computers and always helps me out :)

So I lost my internet last night. There are a few things I am completely attached to in life-that I couldn't live without. My phone (which I actually also left somewhere just two days ago), my chapstick, and my computer. But along with the computer comes the internet. And such distractions as Facebook and Blogger.

It was a dry day without my internet. I am halfway done with Friday's homework. I just have online French homework and tests to study for the rest of the week. Well, and getting ahead for next week. Always...

Anyway, so I text my brother and ended up talking to him on the phone about the problem. I'm grateful he was close tonight. He told me it was probably a PEBKAC problem. Of course, I didn't get it. Let's see... "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair." Gee thanks. But ya know what, it's true. Because all that was wrong was that I'd somehow hit the button that turns off the wireless internet. Oh man.

So thanks to my wonderful brother! And I will have to work on this PEBKAC problem...
