So I really only had 2 things to do before being able to go back home on Thursday. The first was go to work on Monday, and the second was write my last exam on Wednesday. Work is now out of the way, and I only have 1 official thing to do before I'm free of all responsibilities academic or otherwise, until the fall. I'm pretty stoked to visit Prince Edward Island, and that everything else, other friends visiting, last minute-camera purchases, prospective jobs, are all lining up to create a perfect vacation. I only hope the weather is stellar while I'm there.

juno.

So I'll be back on PEI in 1 week's time. Huzzah! I'm pretty stoked to be going home for a visit. I still don't have any plans worked out yet though, so it appears that the entire trip will consist of me flying by the seat of my pants. Ah well.

I bought a new camera today after my 1 year+ nightmare dealing with my Sony Cybershot DSC-W30. I was undecided between the Canon SD850 IS, the SD870 IS, and the SD890 IS. In the end I decided the SD890 IS was too pricey at $499 since it was just released at the beginning of April, and the SD890 and SD870 had identical features except the SD870 was a wide-angle lens and the SD850 was a regular lens. In the end, I opted for the wide angle one. I got a stellar deal on it, too. It retails for $350 and I got it for $300 give or take a few dollars. Plus, I got it with an extra battery, 2GB memory card and a camera case. The joys of bargain hunting online astound me. I paid through the nose for expedited shipping so hopefully it'll be here in time for my visit home.

I wrote 2 exams on Tuesday - Social Stratification and International Relations. Stratification went awesome, I nailed that thing; my poli sci on the other hand? Uhhh yeah. Let's not discuss that fiasco. I don't write again until the 30th of April when I sit my Health and Illness final.

Plans for the summer include working full time at Moxie's Classic Grill and the occasional Sunday at American Eagle so I can keep my discount intact and discover new bands I've never heard of via the 3 hour -long soundtrack we play on a loop every day. I'm hoping to make lots of money so that I can finally pay off my sister, pay off my credit, and either buy a bike or ditch that plan and buy some ski's for the winter skiing season. No matter what, I want to be able to save up $2500 for no particular reason except to say that I'm able to manage my money enough to be able to save some. We'll see how well this plan goes.

god save the scene.

20 degree weather came and went.
freak blizzards came and went.
bermuda shorts day came and went.
winter term 2008 came and went.

but it's snowing again, and has been for the past 48 hours. it seems like winter will never go away.

scar that never heals.

Don't you just love it when the weather forecast calls for a "light, dusting of snow" and in reality, it turns into a freak blizzard? Goooooood times.

stars and sons.

I really wish I could go to Coachella this year.
I really wish I could go to Pemberton Festival this year.
I really wish I could go to Boston.
I really wish I could go to NYC.

Instead? I went to the U of C 101 Kick Off event today. Woo-hooo.

Man, my life is boring.

I really wish I didn't work this weekend so I could go to all the Juno festivities around the city.

Oh, and because it's April 3rd. I guess, uh, happy birthday to my sister. Yeah.
