For a long time, I used an outdated cellphone and I can firmly say I was jealous of everyone else in high school. Up until about 3 months ago, I was using a very old black and white phone. I think it was 2004 or something. The display was very old and grainy. No camera or anything.
Then over the summer I decided that I am in need for a new phone. Something that can record videos. Something that is not antiquated. But I had a dilama. No job. But all hope was not lost. I realized that my parents had a tree they wanted to cut down. So, i decided to undertake this monumental task in the hopes that I might emerge with a new way of keeping in touch with people. For 3 days, I sat outside in the hot sun, chopping this thing down. But I wasn't happy with just cutting it down to size. I also wanted to get the stump out. My neighbor (who has been doing construction for decades) and my parents said it couldn't be done. But being me (germans are said to be people who dont give up easily) I was undeterred. So, I managed to dig under the tree and cut off all or the 4 enormous roots using a hatchet that my neighbor lent me.
After all this, my parents old gave me $100, but I was happy when I realized that I could trade in my outdated phone for some thing a little sexier. Since this thing has become a part of my life, I don't know how I lived with the old one. The ability to take pictures and text videos has really changed the bonds between me and my friends. Plus, using this phone in general is much funner than the old one. It can actually entertain me whenever boredom sets in. With my old phone, i only used it when I had to call someone. My new one has a much bigger role in my life. I find myself taking pics of random things. I guess im still getting used to all the great things this things has.
