My poor computer

So I've recently mentioned my broken Mac and how it would be rare to go on this blog for many days - oh how ironic it is that I've already done three new posts in the course of two weeks! - but I never mentioned how 'broken' it is. Turns out only the internal hardware (ie keyboard and trackpad) would sometimes fail to work but all would be perfectly fine if I used USB ones instead. Of course, i happily complied to the suggestion as now I can go on the 'interwebs' as frequent as I used to. That is... with the cost of this:

 omg, the clutter with fudging macbook brings... (yet again it's already five years old... time for a new one?)

Clutter. Not only am I faced with weird looks from the whole awkward composition of out-of-proportions keyboard and millions of wires all tangled on my desk (note how 80% percent is used up by this monstrosity), I'm limited to the number of USB ports my poor laptop can provide. So that's one ethernet cord for internet access, one charger cord for well, charging, two USB ports used for just the school's keyboard and the mouse I borrowed (I say 'borrowed' but it's really the keyboard of a broken computer I stole off) and the earphone port for my ear buds.

That's a total of five cords coming out of this machine. I can't tell if this is considered humorous or plain stupid.

And that's only the temporary solution while I'm in the UK. Who know how I'll solve it in Hong Kong. Buy them in the Apple store? Buy a new laptop entirely??? Dear god think of the price of that. It's a pity I'm not a college student - that would give me extra student sales :D ah wellz. I guess I'll just continue typing on this oversized keyboard for now.

'til then!
