Goodbye leaf, hello screen!

May 9th, 2010.
My friends would understand exactly what I am talking about when I refer to 'the leaf'. 'The leaf' is a nickname for this huge crack left on the screen of my phone. I had signed a 3 year contract for a new phone I had gotten at the time. About a month or so later, while in the bathroom at school, I somehow managed to drop the phone while fixing my hair. (The phone was put into my sleeve because my uniform had no pockets and I did not want to put it on the ground; though it eventually ended up there.)  The phone somehow managed to leave my sleeve and fell to the ground with a hard 'whack'. At the time my phone looked fine. It's a flip phone and the front of the phone was okay. A very tiny and unnoticeable crack on the corner but no major damages. I gave a sigh of relief thinking that my phone was fine. When I flipped it open later, there was a tiny black mark where the date should be. I didn't think anything of it though since it was so tiny. Eventually though, the crack began to grow like Yao Ming did and covered half the screen. At a first glance you would think that it was just my background image, or even a leaf, but unfortunately it's not. Almost everyone who I showed my phone to thought it was a leaf and eventually I got made fun of for having a phone with a leaf on it. It has been two and a half years already of me using a phone with a leaf on it. I got used to it and know how to find certain functions and what not, but it's really a pain in the butt.


It is about time I say goodbye to the leaf that bothered me for 2 years. It now covers 3/4 or even 5/6 of my screen. I finally got myself a new phone with a perfectly fine screen. :)
Let's just hope I don't drop it before I get a cover for it. Maybe I should even get a little pouch and hang it around my neck. Hmmm ... (yeah right.)
