My school-issued iPad

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

My school-issued iPad

My school-issued iPad just... froze? Died? It's got a battery, but I'm staring at the little silver apple. And I've been staring at it for five hours.

I am now depressed because I wrote a bunch of stuff for Nano on there, and I didn't get a chance to email to myself at school because I don't have wi-fi at home.

I have discovered that I actually don't mind the taste of coffee. Too much.

I have discovered Wordle. So. Much. Fun.

Why are you reading this?

What is the question to life? And don't give me Jackie Robinson.

back to the Down to Earth

Your school issued you an iPad.

Yes. Sadly, also to every single eighth grader, and all the eighth grade teachers. Thats around 170 iPads. They bought them, because, quite frankly, the school district had so much money they didn't know what to do with, and every. single. bloody. machine. in our school is an Apple product, so they cut a deal. It's useful, yet painful. I really don't understand why they gave us iPads and not money to the Instrumental music program.

I have also discovered that I really do like coffee.

So.

Charge it, then hold down the on button.  Hope this helps!! 

P.S. If you're impatient like me, hold down the on button while it's charging!

What is the question to life? The answer is 42. And it's not Jackie Robinson's baseball number.

re: iPad: It's dead. You need to charge it. *mom has iPad, both parents have iPhones, and self has iPod touch* And sorry about your NaNo situation. Can you remember where you left off?

And yes, Wordle is very awesome. I <3 it very much as well. ;)

And you have a bunch of Apple stuff? Lucky! My school's computers are those big, chunky white ones from the 90's...
