Life wasn't meant to be easy

My suitemate Bryant's laptop got hacked yesterday. He found a text file on his desktop:

Hello,
As you probably already noticed, your files on this PC/laptop are encrypted.
That means you can't use them before you decrypt them.
Decrypting these files without password and proper software is impossible.
I'm the only person in the world who has password and software you need to decrypt your files.
If you want to get ALL your files back to normal, that is,
decrypt them, you'll have to buy decryptor. To buy decrypting tool contact me at: brandos87@yahoo.com or brandos87@gmail.com.
I'll reply within hour or two, and you can have your files back within few minutes after that.
Price for decryptor and password is ow, so anyone affected by my encryptor could afford buying it.
I'll also help you delete my encryptor, that you installed on this machine without realizing that.
Also note that most of your private information is collected and sent to me.
In case you don't contact me, I'll sell your private information data (like email account logins, credit card numbers, paypal account logins, etc).
In case you do contact me and we reach agreement, I'll also remove spying tool from your machine,
and your private information will be destroyed from my system.
IMPORTANT:
If you want to get your data back, do not remove or install anything on this machine from now on, until you decrypt
all your files.
As I told you already, I'll reply in shortest possible time, most probably minutes, or in worst case few hours after you send me your message.
I'm sorry for trouble I caused you, but this is mostly your fault :)
I hope we will solve your computer problem, and I'm looking for friendly relationship with you.
Please be smart :=)
Good day.

Freaking creepy. ITS had no way to beat it. Best of luck with your laptop, Bryant!

In other news, class registration is tearing me apart. My registration time should've been at 3:30pm today, but when I logged in, I found a restriction on my account: "NON-DEPOSITED APPLICANT." I called the Registrar to sort things out, but they told me that it was an Admissions Office restriction, so I was to call them. I did just that, but the representative said she had no idea what to do. Apparently, the restriction was there because I hadn't paid my fees, but when she checked my files, all fees had been paid. She told me to physically go to the Registrar and register on one of their computers. So I had to go all the way to the Registrar, but once again, they told me to go to the Admissions Office. I did that, and the lady there finally had an answer:

...I am a transfer student, and I live on Maurice Ave. -_-

Turns out that someone else's file had merged with mine, and that someone else had the restriction, not me. The lady tried to contact the person who could lift my restriction, but with no success. So here I sit, awaiting an email from her. Meanwhile, my desired classes are filling up. Stupid stupid stupid...
