My computer is back! Hahaha!

I'd like to thank all of those who kept me and my computer in your thoughts and prayers. We've managed to endure and overcome the challenge of keeping in contact with friends and family even though the internet was at least 10 minutes away through inclement weather. I think that the bond between PowerBook and I will be even stronger now that we know what it's like to be apart.

Honestly, it's been an excruciating 2.5 weeks of not having a computer. Having to truck it over to school just to send some simple e-mails or check information is a serious pain-in-the-ass. I think I can safely say that owning a computer at home with internet access is for all intents and purposes a necessity these days.

So as much as not having a computer sucked, having no agenda and no contacts in Rotterdam was even more hellacious, as time would completely slow down. On the bright side, not having a computer at my disposal for two weeks gave me a little more to keep me occupied during this time; for example, each day instead of just "I used the internet today" I would stay busy by "walking to school and using the internet".

I also managed to spread out the reading of "Jitterbug Perfume" (good book by-the-way; thanks, Tyler) and "Life of Pi" (thanks, Craig) so that I had something to do everyday. Additionally, I think I've completely caught up on sleep that I've missed out on over the past five years. Finally, the grocery store employees don't mind if you only buy €5 worth of groceries everyday.
