Windows update problem

It's official, I am jinxed! Last night I. Shut off the laptop and it came up with the installing updates screen. Almost 2 hours later it was still on 4 of 5, and apart from the windows 7 blue spining icon thing, no other signs of life. Relunctanlyi turned it off, and on again and it said 'resuming windows' and went back to telling me it was installing update 4 of 5. I'm gonna take it into school today and leave it for a few hours incase it really is still installing, but I'm notholding out much hope. I'm new to windows 7. What would be my next step? I really don't want to wipe hdd due to having school work on it. I'm seriously tempted to retire from technology at this rate!!!
