Random Things

Had prawns in garlic sauce two days in a row. Yum.

I'm back home now, still sans apartment, but with some leads and much more knowledge about the city that I'll call home for the next few years. Boyfriend and I spent a lot of time driving around and exploring different neighborhoods, and I am finally beginning to experience some excitement about moving to a new place. C-Town is very pleasant, vibrant, and filled with stores that I like. Unfortunately, the next 3 years will probably not involve too much money OR time to take advantage of this...

Began meditating for the first time recently. First wanted to do this at the suggestion of my friend A, who is very knowledgeable about these things. It's HARD! Much harder than I thought. It takes such an effort for me to try to empty my mind and focus. It's hard for me to even know whether I'm thinking or not, because so many of my thoughts are not really in conscious form. There are simply so many layers of thoughts... when you peel back one thought, another is immediately revealed.

I tried to do this for about 10 minutes or so and just have no idea whether I was even doing things correctly.

In other news ... I'm thinking of getting a new laptop for law school (since the one I'm currently using belongs to the company), and I'm thinking of sticking with the Apple Powerbooks. If anyone has other suggestions of their own pet laptops, feel free to let me know. Since I'm a weakling, weight is important to me, and I know that IBM has somthing that's only 3 lbs or so. Boyfriend has one, and I've tried it, but it looks so flimsy, and I absolutely hated the mouse-button-thingy (not even sure what to call it).
