When I ordered my new laptop, I preferred one without a wireless LAN card (internet card). Because this is the year 2003 in the land of the United States, I didn’t have too much choice, so once it arrived, I merely disabled the wireless capabilities. Last night, before the screening of my first viewing of “Casablanca”, my laptop was not connected to the internet, as my roommates and I were sitting in the living room. I was fooling around, and much to my surprise, my wireless connection worked. Although I didn’t know where the connection hub was, I didn’t care: I was connected without being connected. So today, two days before I leave for my adventure, I’m sitting at a café on Newbury Street in Boston, surfing the web for free from the comforts of my corner seat.

Almost everything has been purchased, setting me back a few more pennies than expected. For the last week, I’ve been either shopping or watching the previews for the fall lineup of the TV shows I will most likely never see, while lazing on the couch. Being ‘unemployed’ has its relative advantages, but I need to be busy. I must be a patient young lad because during my weeks of training in Morocco, I will certainly be überbusy.
