Everything is gone

I just found my flashdrive broken in two pieces with one peice still in the computer. It looks as if someone stepped on it while getting up from the computer and then decided not to tell me about it, hoping that I wouldn't notice. I did. Everything that I had been working on is gone. EVERYTHING! I don't think I've ever felt so horribly helpless!

There might be hope. One of my computer savy friends is coming over to look at it to see if we can save the data on it. I'll let you know as soon as I know.
