So I got a new laptop.  Which is just as well because this one, the one I'm using, I've had it for nearly four years now (I got it in November?  Or was it October? of 2003) and if it ever, say, I don't know, dies on me, I'd like to be prepared to have one on backup.

Except...the new laptop really intimidates me.  I mean, it's so new.  And shiny.  And it's a Windows Vista and on the right hand side of the screen you can have this virtual clock there and calendar and picture slideshow and CPU and Ram memory usage or something like that and the weather for your hometown.

It's like stepping into a brave new world.  And I'm quite scared by it because I'm fairly used to how my old laptop works.  So until the old laptop dies, I'll continue using it.  Occasionally using the new one to transfer over files and such.

So yeah...I'm probably about the only one who's intimidated by a new laptop.  (And it works.  It actually works!  The other day I got onto Rhapsody and realized I can actually burn discs now.  Because the disc player on my old one doesn't work as well considering how I basically watched evey DVD on it.  I think I wore it out.  Which I'm not planning to do on my new one seeing as I got my TV all hooked up so I can watch TV and DVDs with my earphones on (it's this weird thing--whenever I watch DVDs, I don't turn up the sound on my TV, but turn up the sound on my earphone jack--which is a great thing to do if it's late at night and I don't want to wake up my parents)).

I had this really weird dream that had Bohen (my old math teacher, who was quite fantastic and hilarious) in it.  It was math and the kids were rowdy.  For a second, it was as if I was actually back in high school.  Then I woke up and thought, "I don't want to face that in math", realized I wasn't taking math this semester, and that I'm actually in college.  I'm still getting over the fact that I won't be able to see Natalie, Eric, Sarah, and Julie Ta at school, because I was a senior when they were juniors and now I'm in college when they're still in high school.

Quite depressing.  Me not being with them anymore.  Because they were my friends.  Well, they still are, but I won't be able to see them every day like I used to.  And it makes me sad.
