Backpack

So after 10 or so long years of using the same backpack for school and for outings, my trusty old Eddy Bauer backpack is being laid to rest. In quite a disgusting manner, the bottom lining of my backpack had started to come off in my books and notebooks as black pieces of plastic which coated everything from my epi-pen to my neoprene laptop case. I actually started looking for a backpack a couple months ago, but didn't have a chance to buy it (and it wasn't on sale) until just this past weekend. Yay Memorial Day weekend Sale! I bought this backpack (http://www.citysports.com/citysports/product.asp?s_id=0&prod_name=The+North+Face+Hot+Shot+Special+Edition&pf_id=149066&dept_id=541&dl_id=88) and liked it a lot since I saw it way back when. Hopefully my choice was sound and this backpack also lasts me forever and ever. Well, considering I'm going to be a student for at least another year and many more years after that.

Anywho, the outside is a weird blend of white knit material and plastic/nylon to make it water proof. Despite this I'm sure it'll get dirty quickly and I'll find some way to break it in a few years, but my old and faithful backpack is, in reality, dying and must be laid to rest peacefully. Violently laying a backpack to rest might make me lose stuff. Like my wallet. ^ ^;;

So what do you think? Good choice? Bad Choice?

I'll post on my trip to Dartmouth next week. I'm getting all my thoughts sorted and studying done first.
