Peer Pressure?

I've always been an avid PC fan. I mean Macs were cool, they looked sleek, but price was always an issue, and PCs always felt just right. With more than 50% of the general college population having macs, and an even higher percentage at church (with the exception of a few), I still felt completely satisfied with my Dell.

But still, after the shattering of my screen, I had to get a new computer. Originally I was going to buy my friend's used macbook, but he didn't want to sell it anymore. So I had my mind set on buying Big K's extra laptop.

Then very unexpectedly, my dad calls me at 7 a.m. in the morning telling me that he deposited money for me to buy a new laptop. I told him my head hurt and I'd call him back later. 3 hours later, he called again telling me to buy the used one, but he also wanted to buy me a new mac (cause he promised me one in the beginning of this year). I thought about it, and decided to a research (after another 2 hour nap). I got sold the moment I started reading a review. And then I checked my bank account, and went out to the infamous UCSD bookstore, I got the same salesperson that sold Jackie her MB, and he seemed to be slightly amused that I came back.

Celebrating, afterwards, with Jane and Ricky, we decided to go to BK. I got myself a Whopper and a Large Coke (no ice).

And here I sit (still on my PC) with my macbook charging next to me. I still am very pro-PC, and I have a feeling that I will be spending equal amounts of time on both. But the main reason I got it (on such a whim) is because I felt that I would be able to enjoy the "best of both worlds."

So did I give in to peer pressure?
Possibly. But in my opinion no. I'm just doing what I think feels right.
