(unlikely dreams)

maandag 15 maart 2004

Okay, I have officially decided that I do not want to keep my current phone when I go back to the States - I've just found the coolest one ever! Check it out, the Nokia 5140. Even a built-in flashlight, LOL!

I've also been thinking about the issue of the teeny-tiny room I'm going to have at La Mancha... and one possible solution might be to put my dresser in the closet. Wonder if that would fit? I think it would.

This is weird - I'm actually starting to get psyched up about going home. It's not like I want to leave here - I don't, not at all - but all the stuff I've been thinking about lately - my new UF schedule, my possible new job, having my car back, hooking my stereo up to my computer, getting internet that WORKS, arranging my room at La Mancha, and now this cool new phone... I'm really looking forward to all that.

But if you notice... all of those things are materialistic... and to get them, I have to leave Martin and Linde and Tristan and Lotte and all my other friends here...

Ah, well, anyway...
