A few months ago I bought a laptop. I love it. It’s nice to be able to take it places and still work on the computer as if I was at home. I’ve already used it a lot in the short amount of time I’ve had it. But I’ve been having trouble with it lately.

I think I’ve been carrying my laptop around too much. Every once in awhile it will just shut off. I know why, and it’s my fault. I was startled the first time the computer shut off, because I thought something happened to it. Then I realized the battery had fallen out. I put the battery back in, but a few seconds later, it happened again. I thought there really was something wrong with it. That was when I realized the battery lock switch was set to the “unlock” position. How stupid. I locked the battery and thought to myself, “Now that won’t happen again!”

Well, yesterday the battery fell out again. Somehow I’m being careless when moving my laptop around, unlocking the battery switch without knowing it. I’m just hoping I won’t lose something important one day!
