Computers Are The Devils Work

I'm a diligent student. I turn my homework in on time. I show up to class. I try to participate. I'm occasionally smart. So why is this computer hindering me of this?! Math is (I'm almost sure of it) from hell; maybe the second level. I'm not amazing with it but I do try and I'm not failing the class. Thanksgiving break is soon arriving and my thought is that since I'll be eating on Thursday, out all morning/day shopping then working on Friday, sleeping and working on Saturday and having Jesus time on Sunday, I'll just knock out any homework that I can while I'm on campus so that I won't have to worry about it later. I enter the computer lab, pick one of my favorite computers (yes, I have a specific type of computer I go for) and situate myself, ready to attack whatever math I can before my sister gets here. I get through half of the problems and then-- zap-- the computer turns into the spawn of Satan and eats away at the screen. No... wait, stop! Warning boxes pop up-- Retry-- Try Again-- No-- No-- Retry-- Submit-- Yes-- No! Stop doing that! I'm trying to be a good person! Alas, I have completed 7 out of 30 problems. My efforts are lost and now, I realize, this is the reason why I procrastinate.
