Problem Solved

So before I do anything I always consult my dad.  Don't know why, just do.  And after talking to him, he informed me that I could just by an external card reader and not have to go through the camera!  Which means my camera gets to stay with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The part that is messed up doesn't affect picture taking so I am good to go.  Went to Best Buy, purchased what I needed for $20 and I am set.  A few minor set backs taken care of after some searching around in files and talking to my pops again and everything is back to normal.

HAPPY DANCE!!!!
