I got my computer while we were up there, although it was out of stock and had to be backordered. It's a nice HP laptop, and I look foward to using it. I also had to buy all of the stupid accessories that go with it, such as the carrying bag, a surge protector, an ethernet cable, a lock, etc. It rang up to quite a lot more than I had expected. I'm was totally fine about college and life until I was reminded about not working this week. I desperately need the money, although my parents are insisting that I don't need to work and that they have money enough for whenever I need something. It's rather annoying.
I finally finished the first Harry Potter book, which I started around last Christmas. I saw the movie, and then read the book. I'm amazed that I finally finished it. I'll start the next one soon, and who knows when that will be finished. Right now I'm reading a book that my aunt lent to me about one of the girls who got killed in the Columbine shooting. So far I don't find it too interesting, but if she liked it, there must be something redeeming in it somewhere. I have to finish it anyway, in order to give it back to her this week. I still want to read The Virgin Suicides, but that will have to wait.
Felipe is online! I haven't seen or heard from him since graduation, and it would be really great to talk to him. Still, I feel really shy about IMing him, so maybe I won't. I still have his cell phone number, so I could always call to say hello, but I have the feeling that he is just a really busy person. Oh, he's not even online anymore. Phooey. I'll catch him one day or another. I'm sure our paths will cross. And if they're not destined to cross, I'll MAKE THEM CROSS. I have to admit that I have saudades for some people from school.
Well anyway, tonight I'm going to try to get a good night's sleep. I've been sleeping in the sucky, creaky bed in the cottage, that shrieks with every two inch movement from the body. It's really quite annoying. I just want to settle into school and work already! AH!
