The external hard drive is most likely gone. 3 months of diary (birthdays, Hamburg & Muse, Christmas) lost. Also, layouts and stuff. At least I can't check the textfile where I write down what backups need to be updated (yeah, I always did that manually - I should probably get a program for that), so I don't know what exactly is gone - I have nothing specific to freak out about. Also, photo and video backups are all up to date - thank fuck! Look at me trying to think positive - what the hell is going on?!

So that coupled with my friend cancelling yesterday and my sister cancelling tomorrow makes me really depressed and I'm trying not to cry. I'm trying to scrape together the last bits of motivation, so I don't have to cancel meeting up with the Sherlockians for watching The Hobbit in English today.

Found a data-recovery lab in Dresden and it's not far from my apartment. And according to their website, the problem with my hard drive is a more fixable one and not that expensive. Phew!

Time to get ready for The Hobbit with Sherlockians.
