Love at first sight...

I will be the first to confess that I have an inner nerd residing deep inside of me. It pretty much takes someone with an inner nerd to devote themselves to 500 years of school right? (As much as I joke about being a career student, even I am sometimes taken aback by the fact that I have now been in school for 21 consecutive years.)

One of the fun things about doctor school is that we all have inner nerds. We all get excited over fresh school supplies, newly revised psychological assessments, and gadgets that make our stressful lives a little easier. In doctor school, it's perfectly normal to see someone fish a pencil bag of brightly colored highlighters and Post-It flags out of an expensive designer handbag. Immaculately dressed girls manage to pull around suitcases full of research articles and dissertation materials while looking fabulous in 4 inch heels. We speak in psychobabble even on martini night. Yes, doctor school is the perfect place to feed your inner nerd.

So you can imagine the delighted squeals of my inner nerd when I spotted these popping up at school:


It is perfectly tiny and PINK! A classmate sitting across from me in Stats tonight had hers out typing notes and I must have stared at it all night. I sat daydreaming of pulling my own little pink computer out of my bag during class, happily typing notes. Or toting it with me to my clinical training so that client reports would always be at my fingertips. I always worry about toting my Vaio around at school and training because I'm so worried that something is going to happen to it. But this little cutie will fit right in my handbag!



Naturally, I ordered one as soon as I got home from Stats. And the price on these little lovelies is amazing...perfect for any student or recessionista on a budget. It should be here sometime next week! Maybe I will actually enjoy stats now...
