Computer Issues and Snow

Hello Everyone,

So everything is going well on this trip, I'm having heaps of fun. Scouts this week was fun, and next week, we're having a dinner. School is pretty boring, but it's more interesting when you look out the window and see snow! I've been teaching more English, and today, I gave a crash-course in Aussie History, and did a pop quiz. The most important question was 'What is the best state?' The answer, of course, was Queensland (No bias, I promise!) We've had even more snow, which today, melts before it hits the ground, and freezes overnight, so everything is covered in ice in the morning. I've nearly slipped a lot. It is really cold, and getting colder every day, so I'm glad I have thermals.
 Now, the other half of the title: Computer issues. Every time I use my computer, the touch pad stops working, and then, a little while later, I get blue screen of death. I will cope, and do what I can to fix it, any suggestions are welcome. Even as I was writing this, it shut down on me. So yeah, I'm going to try and do what I can, but I'm not hoping for anything major.
The photos, I'll do tomorrow, computer permitting.
