Technology Hates Me

I've been having problems with my monitor lately. This is but the present display of technology's grudge through a half-decade history. I'm quite certain that the problems persists because it's old and so it's components are wearing out but I just can't understand WHY NOW?! I've got a Spanish project draft due (typed), research and compile 1-2 pages of notes for a "sub-topic" of Ancient Greek inventions/achievements for English, some sort of analysis on the Goddess Artemis for english (typed), and a DDP Powerpoint due... Now with a screen that blacks out constantly every few seconds, I can't get anything done.

This condemns me to the last resort of using the big, bulky, antique monitor originally bundled with the Windows 98 computer my dad happened to pick up. Now the depth of my desk where it's to be held, is not even two feet and so the screen takes up all the depth space, leaving no room for my keyboard which is currently hanging over the edge. Then there's the problem with having my face too close to the screen and I can't do anything about it since my chair only has barely enough room to maneuver in with the sofa behind and all.
