I have an interview with the best place in town for my major, which is computer animation. I even had a portfolio together to show them. Just a little work on it tonight, and I'd show them something good. Unfortunately, the completed portfolio has been lost to a CD scratch and I didn't have a backup. I had to go all the way out to my parent's house to confirm this. On the way, I slipped on ice and now my good arm is in a sling. I can obviously run a computer stilll, but a lot slower. Now I don't know if I canfinish what I set out to do tonight. If there is no portfolio, the interview will be a disaster. I cannot drive the car I was going to borrow to get there.

I will at least try to finish what I started, so if you all would pray for me tonight as I try to remember Flash and use it with a bad hand on two hours of sleep, I would appreciate it. I will get this arm looked at tonight or tomorrow, but if I go tonight, there will be nothing to present tomorrow.

Furthermore, if this arm does not heal quickly I could be in some major trouble. I've got student work, which requires six credits minimum if I am going to keep it. All six of my credits are drawing classes. If the arm doesn't heal, I won't get to take these classes and I could lose my job. There are not many classes left that I am interested in that only require one hand that has never done the lion's share of work before. I am almost ready to graduate and don't need other classes, just this internship and these job-keeping credits so I can pay my rent.

In the midst of this I have no idea how God will turn this around for my good. Please pray that I see it.

You might want to try this free file recovery program if it is just deleted from the
recycle bin, if there's time to test out. Any God bless, :thumbsup: He knows what's for the best.

Or just called in for postponing the interview, can't be too bad if you are sincere.
Well, the network guru at the school got everything that could be gotten. Thanks though.

Even if I had the backup, the arm still would have been hurt. Speaking of the arm, I got it X-rayed and I'm waiting on the radiologist's results.

I rescheduled the interview for Tuesday morning. The man seemed understanding. If I can wow him, I might still get the internship, but then again my drawing arm is useless. They may say "come back when you can draw again."

Anyway, I'll try to find some new classes so I can keep my job. I'm not sure how many hours I'll get there since much of that job involves writing.

Anyway for those of you who prayed, thank you. For those of you who made jokes at my expense, shut up. If I said what I wanted to, my post would get deleted.

Dude, lighten up, that wasn't "at your expense". Pm me if you've got something to say.

try a program called isobuster to recover the data from your CD, it should do the trick, it's saved me lots of times.

When in the program right click on the files you want to recover and use the "extract as Raw and convert to user data" option.

Good luck, hope the arm heals quickly, I can understand your frustrations.

Update for y'all. The interview for the internship went great, and the pain has gone down quite a bit in the arm. I don't have the second X-Ray results yet, but I'm willing to bet it's just tendon and muscle problems, since that's the only kind of pain I've been having. I haven't needed painkillers too much in the last week, though I'm still in the sling. These are all very good signs. Thanks for the prayers, and keep praying.

Glad things are looking up for you. Take it easy, and don't try to do too much too fast. :)
