i'm currently continuing my glorious computers-around-the-world tour, and writing from a computer at work. i went to look at a mac in the student store between class/ticket office, and i think i'm going to get one. i'm a little nervous about the money because i've never paid a grand for any one thing before in my life (i'm not counting checks for dorm housing because it wasn't really my money and it wasn't paying for one small, five-pound piece of equipment). it's a little scary (i know, i'm dramatic) to think about having to learn a whole new system, especially because i scoff at my mom all the time for not knowing how to work basic technology. now, i'll be one of those people. however, i've heard from almost everyone i've talked to that if they were buying a new laptop, they would most definitely invest in a mac. and, i'd much rather spend a little more now and get a stable computer than spend $500 on a crappy desktop (an idea that has crossed my mind) and have it crash ten times next year.

i've also been taking on or around fourteen thousand calls today at work.

plus, i think i have adult-onset dyslexia. i'm having trouble lately reading and writing numbers and words in the correct order. that's pretty great.

maybe tomorrow i'll be able to write on my brand-new mac. i kinda feel like a traitor, leaving the world of windows behind. i should probably get over it, though, because windows hasn't treated me all that well.
