It's almost the end, almost a beginning, and almost the beginning of an end

I have just woken up from the deepest slumber with a very invigorating and refreshing mentality. Has anyone else experienced this? It's a terrific feeling, yet unfortunately, rendered me a bit too awake because 1) I received a loud text an hour ago with my phone right by my ear 2) It is currently 5:40 AM. But thank you, my texter! For I probably would have woken up at 2 PM otherwise, due to my jet lag. And since I slept at 11 last night, it's a decent amount of sleep.

My dream last night consisted of some random friends and I traveling in a van and going to various dark places. Yes, DARK. There was a dark school and dark shops. And these were a random bunch, consisting of most of the people I know from Chinese School and a girl I've known in Optix. But oddly enough, it was a fun adventure and partway into it I reminded myself to talk to Jess (also in the van) about our weekend beach plans. The dream ended on a completely weird note, as we got off at a factory that made noodle packages, with packaging labels consisting of three Christian quotes.

And now, here I am awaiting the sunrise and feeling very happy and refreshed, like I've finally woken up from a deep ten-year slumber. Actually, I think maybe it was ten years since I've felt truly happy. It's probably to do with finally discovering knowledge and going through intense schooling, from a private all-girls Catholic school straight to a 5-year Ivy League education. And also discovering boys coming to college. But I'd like to take a break from all that and just realize the simplest happy things in life, away from the petty squanderings and superficialities.

TOPIC CHANGE

I've probably inquired you lately of my laptop dilemma. I'm still searching and am truly fascinated by all the information out there about computers. I have learned the most about this this summer, learning the pros and cons on the major manufacturers. My most thrilling moments were when I came across a scrap of info and thought, "hey, I actually LEARNED that before. And I UNDERSTAND it! YAY!" Maybe I'll spend my spare time delving further into the field and add Computer Consultant at Fry's to my list of career options.

Right now, I've been looking into the Lenovo Y Series, but am still opened to other options. Does you have any thoughts, recs, or stay-aways to share?

Hope you're enjoying your summer.

Missing you,
A
