Oddest thing. I think I accedentally fixed my computer. I had noticed over the month or three it's been freezing that it's never frozen while I was not connected to the network here at school. Then, over the last week, at random times, the internet just wouldn't work at all on my computer for some reason. So I went into the netword stuff on the control panel and turned it off and back on. It hasn't frozen since... I don't know why that would be different than unplugging/plugging in my network cable, but if it works, yay. It's nice not to have to retype papers or just get plain frustrated 15 times a day.

(Knock on wood)
