Caveat: Buyer’s Remorse, Deferred

I hate shopping for major purchases.  I'm terrible at bargaining and bargain-hunting, for one thing, but I also feel annoyed with myself for not being better at it.  So when I shell out for something big, I always, always have buyer's remorse.  I bought my camcorder today.  And I'm afraid to open it, because I don't want to be disappointed.  I guess I'm kind of weird, huh?  I'll update with more info when I get around to trying it out.

One of the reasons I felt a desire to get something like this is because I would really like to try to put together some kind of record of one of my classroom debates before I leave LBridge.  Something I could both use as a reference and as a way of remembering.  Of course, I'll only do it if the kids want to try it.  I think some of them will give it a go.  And I'll feel obligated to share a copy with my bosses at LBridge, which they'll no doubt want to use for publicity.  But that doesn't really bother me, actually.

Anyway, the first step is unpacking the box and learning how to use it.
