Meltdown

So, last night I was studying. It's a productive thing to do, right? Most of our professors post articles for us to read online, so I was doing this studying on my Lappy. Okay, so I have this study lamp that I use on my desk. It gets kind of hot, and it's pretty bright so I keep a handkerchief over the top to dim it down a little. Well, when I moved into my pre-furnished apartment the first thing I noticed was the desk. It's this little triangular desk that fits just right into a corner of the bedroom. It's a little awkward, but it's functional. Anyhow, it's small, so there isn't much room on top--especially when I put my lamp, laptop, speakers, rubber-band ball, stress ball and stress palm tree, and my desk organizer thing. Therefore, the lamp was banished to the back corner of the desk, just behind my Lappy. The lamp is still functional because I can tilt it just so that the light shines over the top of my laptop. So far it has worked just fine. Until I got to class today, pulled my laptop out and looked at the top of my lappy. Right around the top, surrounding the sliding tab to open said laptop, my poor little Lappy was...melted. Luckily the screen wasn't damaged. Unluckily, the sliding tab doesn't slide anymore. I can still open my laptop by shifting the screen over slightly. so that's good. And now my little Lappy is definitely unique. So even if someone stole it and I didn't have the number, it would still be identifiable.

The Victim


The Perpetrator

And thus we have evidence that lamps do not like to be banished to corners.
