As I have mentioned in my previous journal entry, I'm back at university now studying ym biomedical science (why am I not in Graphics design? Parental pressure?). As I also mentioned (but probably not explained), I had to leave my trusty 3 in 1 printer, old external hard drive, and USB Key at home because I didn't have that much room to pack (USB key due to plain forgetfullness). As a result, I've been out shopping all day to refill my hardware gap. Got a new HP 3 in 1 printer for like 80 dollars, a 2Gb USB key and a wireless mouse for the same price as a Hotwheels car, and a 250 Gb hard drive fore 50 dollars. It wasn't until after I got home, plugged everything into my laptop, that I felt kind of... wierd.

I've my trusty Hard drive for almost 2 years now, my mouse for 3, and that old HP 1350 printer has been scanning pictures for you and me for almost 5 years now. And now they're all back at home collecting dust while I'm out replacing them willy-nilly. Worse yet, I can't help but feel that my laptop is doing things it shouldn't be doing with hardware it shouldn't be doing things with... This feeling was WAY worse when I replaced my sketch pad binder that I had with me for 7 years, the one that I patched with duct tape over and over and over again (it's still on my book case right now, on display).

So I guess the whole point of this is (asside from trying hopelessly to be funny), do any of you get this reaction from new stuff, or am I just falling of my rocker here?
