    It's 12 hours and thirty-five minutes before my plane departs early tomorrow morning. I've spent the whole day running small errands with my mom, happy that everything was going according to plan. It's been a lovely weekend (minus my younger brother's periodic tantrums).  I managed to achieve my goal of attaining a respectable tan thanks to the San Diego sunshine. I don't know if it's global warming or my fraudulent memory, but I even found that the Pacific Ocean is much warmer than I remembered it, so I spent some time splashing in the waves, too.
    But then around 6:30 pm tonight a funky not-quite-a-crash-but-close-enough-to-give-me-a-premature-heart-attack thing happened to my laptop and it took up all the time that was reserved for a lavendar-scented bath. Damn!
    What happened-- I don't know! But since my six-week internship in Paris depends on me having access to my own computer, whatever the problem is could not be dealt with at that moment. Luckily, my mother was kind enough to drive me to Costco thirty minutes before it closed so that I could buy myself a new laptop...one that will hopefully not let me down (pray, meditate, *your preference here* for me). Thank the geniuses at Costco for their 90 day return policy that I'll be using after my return in 60 days!
    Anyway, my next entry will be from Madrid. I can't wait!
