You Take Away My Individuality
Yesterday was pretty busy... I guess I should start there. I woke up at around 10:30 or so, after taking a T3 the night before and sleeping early. I went to get my picture taken for my age of majority card at the Cherryhill mall way the hell over at my Mom's house and then drove to her house to pick up Lindy. I saw Syndey and she was really nice to me and loved me and I wanna steal her and keep her.. but my Mom would kill me so... anyway, we left from there around 1:30 or so and went to my Grandparents house (the Grieve's) to visit and get money for tuition and ask for a loan and stuff, so to sum it all up, my Mom got half the cost of our tution and I'm getting a loan for $3500 with 4.5% interest, which is good (dell.ca's interest rate is between 9.99% and 28.98%). When we left there, we drove my Mom home and then Lindy took me to Fanshawe to get my Studen Card picture and well.. my student card. I had to wait in line for ten or twenty minutes but now I don't have to worry about getting it during school or anything. From there I went home.
Since I hadn't been able to spend any time with Linzie that morning or afternoon, I was looking forward to spending time with her when I got home but she quickly informed me that she had to go out for dinner to celebrate her Dad's birthday, which was fine. While she was out, I ordered my laptop for school from Dell.ca and here are the stats:
Inspiron 8500: Mobile Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.2GHz w/ 15.4" WUXGA DisplayAfter taxes and shipping and handleing, the total package came to $3744. Which is expensive, but it's going to last me years. So.. fuck you, you judgemental pricks. For my laptop I also bought off of EBay: Altec Lansing Gaming Speakers (w subwoofer), Logitech Optical Mouse, Palm Zire Handheld, Cable Remote Sensor Lock and a Belkin Wireless Access point (for wireless networking in my apartment).

Today I had to work and someone ordered sixty large pizza's, so it was quite busy (just Lindy and myself working). I had to walk home, so I met Linzie at Tim Hortons and we had a bite to eat and then finished the walk home. Since then I've had a shower and have been feeling very hot and sticky. Tomorrow is a day off and I can relax. I guess that's it for now... bye bye!
