Reunited With My Macbook At Last!

So I failed to mention that my laptop (Macbook) was having issues last week. I had to get on the train last Friday and go to Glasgow because the only Apple store in Scotland is in Glasgow. That is stupid, I think Steve Jobs needs to address this situation seeing that Edinburgh is quite a big city in itself and it is the capital. Get on that Steve! Anyway, it rained the entire time I was in Glasgow, boo! I went to Starbucks for a latte and the line was so long, however, I noticed another Starbucks about 100 yards away that was down this narrow street. So I walked into that one and there was no one in line! I ordered my latte and then went to the Apple store to pick up my Macbook. The technician went over the bill with me. At first, I saw the total amount in repairs, which was about £536! I thought that was how much I owed and I was about to throw a fit because I have coverage and when I looked at the column next to that amount, it said that a £0 amount was due. Woohoo! Thank you Applecare! I got an entire new display (which is great because the old one had a small dent on the cover), a brand new trackpad and a brand new battery for FREE! I am just very happy that I have been reunited with my computer. I walked around Glasgow for a bit and went to some shopping malls and decided to go home after about an hour. I did some shopping around Edinburgh and am now working on studying for exams. I have to read this huge Fossums Small Animal Surgery book and the things in the first few chapters I have to read are like review. Tells you how to fold gowns, surgery towels, wrap instrument packs, how to scrub in for surgery, etc. Like I said, basic review. Well, I should get back to studying. Hope everyone is doing well and will talk to you soon!

Bravo Applecare! Happy that the situation turned out so well for you. A Latte on a cold rainy day sounds brilliant! Wish I was there sipping on one too!! It won't be long and we will be sight seeing in the Highlands again. Woo Hoo. Cannot wait :)
Study study..
