11 days...

...til i take off for langley. i've been living out of my luggage for the past two weeks already. it's been pretty hectic [a major understatement] here at home with my grandparents' golden anniversary last wknd and relatives flying in from everywhere. of course i had to be the first to get kicked out. but i can't complain... my room's upstairs and our AC's busted. it's sooo much cooler in the basement, which is where i'm temporarily sleeping. for a few days, there were actually 19 of us in the house!! we're back down to 15 though. still, i can't wait for this household to go back to normal.

i'm pretty excited about the summer. i still gotta sort out a few things, do some last-minute runs at walmart and then actually pack, but i'm more or less ready to go. i was able to buy a laptop to bring with me :) i got it for an amazing price... $569.99 before tax. yeees, it was an open item... but it's perfectly fine! it'll do for school. anyway, i'm very pleased with it. i mean her. her name is emma ;)

i'll be keeping my current cell# for the summer, so feel free to text me. i won't be changing my number quite yet. i'll have a landline, but i'm probably gonna do most of my long-distance calling through skype. so yah... skype me!

No Apple MacBook? Wow, you must be planning to do some really serious studying then. =P

Have fun over the summer and good luck on your studies. Oh, don't forget to grab one of those cheap labtec headsets at pacific mall for skype. =)

Hey that's great that you managed to get a laptop. I'm still looking for one that's fairly cheap. :)

So... I have eleven days to chill with you before you go. :( That's so sad that you're leaving so soon but at the same time a lot can happen in 11 days.

Ie. a last minute weekend trip to Buffalo? A concert? a couple of Tim Horton runs. :) Or if you're lucky enough a final date with us girls where we'll take a huge amount of random pics so that we'll fill your whole computer memory with pics of us. :) hee hee...
