Drew is the man!
My laptop was having problems.
The right hinge on the screen was broken, and so the lid to my laptop would either fall onto my hands while I was typing, or else experience a fainting spell and fall backwards.
It was well-nigh unusable. So, my Dad ordered a replacement case off of eBay, but the repair looked more challenging than we expected, and I had planned to take it to a repair shop.
But then I found out that a guy who lives across the hall from my brother in the dorms repairs laptops. I mentioned my laptop problems to him, and he offered to repair it. So, tonight I took the laptop to his room.
The process actually took a couple of hours. To fix the laptop, he essentially had to completely disassemble it, move the motherboard into the new case, and reassemble it. I felt bad, because I know he hadn’t planned to burn his whole evening on this thing.
But now my computer works perfectly. Drew knows what he’s doing with laptops, and I’m very, very happy. I can actually use my computer in class again!
So, that’s my shout-out to Drew. If he ever opens a laptop repair business, I’ll refer you, my loyal readership, to him. For now, he’s got my gratitude.

[…] So I took a friend out to lunch. Drew is a friend of mine from college who I mentioned the last time my laptop was seriously broken. I took him (and my brother and another friend) to Sticky Fingers, saving them from the terrible fate of eating in the Dining Common for lunch. […]
