Last quarter during finals week, my parents all of a sudden decided to switch phone numbers on me, rendering my SIM card inactive. It gave me such apprehension just knowing that I could not call anyone if I had to. I know that I don't use my phone too often, but it eased me knowing I could call Kristine if I had a question about the ochem final.

 

Well this year is worse.

 

My phone does not work.
Earlier this weekend, my phone kept freezing for no apparent reason -- when people called, when I went to the menus, when I tried to text, or even when I didn't touch it at all. It was like the white screen of death, or black screen when the phone shut off entirely.

Retarded phone. Upset and worried that the phone would turn off on me in the middle of the night without me knowing and that I'd be alarm-less for the morning, I looked up the problem on the Sony website. The Sony help site said that I needed a firmware update. Fine, and so I downloaded all of the software and followed all the directions, but when I was done . . . . . it won't turn on AT ALL. What the f, man? At least before, I was able to get past the blank screen when starting up.

 

I am so sad.
It's not even the fact that I lost ALL of my contacts (luckily I remembered my mom's phone number), because if I really liked to talk to them anyway, I could easily bug them and get it somehow.

 

I called my mom to complain that I wanted my phone fixed, but all she could do was turn to my father, who obviously turns to his silly family to ask for an old phone to let me have and use.
But dang it, I don't want their hand me down phone. It is so ridiculously ugly. D:

 

And for the time being, I am borrowing Kristine's old phone.

But here's the catch, it only works through speaker
What a sad time for me. And because I was so depressed about my phone, I barely got any studying done last night.
