Okay, I have some very good news! My mom surprised me with a 2TB hard drive yesterday, and my computer is now back up and running! Now, I'm starting from scratch here, so it'll take me at least a few days to get back to work. I have to install all my software, set up all my drivers, contact any companies I need serial codes or download links from, clear out my dropbox account and set it to auto-back-up all my work files and etc. ...but we're back in action now and that's pretty amazing!

I still don't know what data recovery on the old drive is going to cost, so I'll post another update when I know more about that. But for now, hey! Good news! It's great!

I'll be hard at work getting my computer ready, but I'll post another journal once I'm working on commissions again.

Thanks to everyone for being so patient, and I'm glad to have some good news for once!
