Do you remember when I had to buy a new calculator? Well I had this whole moral dilemma because I needed a fancy calculator with a multilog button but I loved my old calculator so much. It was crazy but I couldn't just give upon her, not after 5 years! In the end I caved in and bought a new calculator.
At first I was sceptical, it was too shiny, it demanded extra bracket use, wrote out standard form in full and insisted on presenting my answers in fractions! And then I discovered a repeat button, fell in love with fractions and when we used radons - it put my answers in term of pi! Our relationship grew until the point that I literally struggled to survive a day when I left her at home.
And then she left me. No goodbye, no warning, not even a clue to where she might be! She left me for another.. I tried looking for her but she clearly doesn't want to be found...
So now I'm back to using my old calculator.. Its awful! I can't help but make constant comparisons... And the worse thing is that I have to go through the whole emotional rollercoaster of buying a new calculator for my exam all over again because I literally have no idea how to cope without a multilog button anymore! I feel guilty of course, I've treated my old calculator so badly and yet, she's still here. Shes's here for my exams when I need her the most and yet here I am about to replace her, again...
