First Day of Summer and a Haul

So, I took my last final yesterday. Chemistry. So, now summer has officially begun. Yay!!!!!]
First, I want to give you guys a preview of what I'm doing this summer:
July 5 - 14 I'm doing a program at a university in New York.
Sometime later in July and in August I'm going to Romania (I'm Romanian by the way), but I'm not sure when.
Now, I thought I would do a sort of mini haul with some stuff I bought yesterday and today. It's pretty random, but I figured - why not?

Yesterday, I was hanging out in my town's center (or downtown, if you prefer), and waiting for a restaurant to start serving lunch, so I decide to browse a store. Unfortunately, I don't think I can tell you the name, because it's local. I bought this body wash, for $5:

It smells really floral, with a very subtle musky undertone, I think. I'm really bad at describing scents. 

Then today, I went to Barnes & Nobles to pick up a book for summer reading. Because the senior classes at my school are basically electives, very few require summer reading. So the only book I had to get was for politics, and it is called Hardball: How Politics is Told - By One Who Knows the Game, and it's by Chris Matthews, who also has a tv show called Hardball on some news channel.

Then I went to the Paper Store, which I think is only in New England, but that's a fairly large area, so I doubt you'll be able to figure out where I live.

I got one of those Vera Bradley wristlets that everyone seems to have. It's like a wallet, but there's a spot for your phone, and it has a little clip, so you can attach your keys.

Last, I went to another local store and got a crossbody bag. I've been wanting one for sooooooo long, because I think it's really practical for the summer. I also liked the pattern.

So, that's it. Talk to you later!

The Digital Age

Okay, so I know I haven't posted in a while, but I swear, I have had nothing to blog about. But now I do.
See, last night, the keyboard on my laptop kinda broke. My dad ordered me a new one today, but it'll take ten days to get here. We ended up going to Staples and getting a temporary separate keyboard (you know, like a desktop one).
Anyway, I'm on my computer one, but today I had to think about what I would without a computer for ten days. My mom said I could use her computer for my school stuff, although the problem was, all my school documents are on my hard drive, which my dad was unable to remove. But what everything else?What would I do with my free time? What I could I do that didn't involve a computer. Well, earlier today, when I didn't have a keyboard, I tried knitting, and failed miserably.
My media studies teacher once asked my class if we thought we were addicted to the internet. Truth is, we're addicted to our computers. Not because we think it'll makes us cool, or anything, like other drugs, but because it's all we know. We don't know how to write an essay with pencil and paper. We don't know how entertain ourselves without electronics. But the thing is, it's not us, it's the world we live in.
Back in the 1800s, they didn't have internet, and they were fine, because they didn't know about it. We know about it, and it's just so convenient, it's hard not to use it.
So don't feel guilty if you're an internet addict, we can all have an IA meeting.
