Last weekend I went to Montreal to go camping with the awesome Laurie. I had a really great time. I went with a friend from work who didn’t seem to have as much fun as I did, kind of a downer. BUT I made the most of it. We left here around 11am and got to the campground after 4pm. It didn’t take as long as I thought it would. I’ll definitely make the drive again if I have to OH, I also got to ride on a Ferry!!! It was pretty cool, never done that before. I was totally NOT expecting it too. It was like all of a sudden I turned in this small town and then there was a line up for the Ferry. HAHA. We celebrated by playing “I’m on a boat” by T-Pain It was rediculously fun.. HAHA We drank and tanned on the beach all day long. Now I’m so dark, it’s pretty crazy. I guess I don’t need to use my tanning minutes anymore. I don’t want to be any darker than what I am right now heh.

This coming up weekend I was supposed to go to Darien Lake, but everyone canceled last minute. So we had to cancel our reservations (n) Now this leaves me with the entire weekend and more off. I’m off Friday-Wednesday!!! What the hell am I gonna do with myself?! I wish I could plan a last minute trip, but I would only want to go to Las Vegas or maybe New York City.. and I haven’t saved up enough for semi-big trips like that. I could only afford the flights. Ah well. I may just save the money I was going to use for Darien Lake, and put it in my B-day Trip fund. I really hope that will happen! It has to!

OH!! On Monday I picked up my new laptop for school. It’s a 15″ MacBook Pro. It’s so pretty and I love it already. I even went out to the Apple store right after and picked up a pink (outter)case/shell and white sleeve for it. Customizing for me IS everything!

I went to an orientation for college today with my dad. It all went really well. We asked questions about the program, saw students work and portfolios, and went on a school tour. Pretty full day even though it was only for 2 hours. I loved everything I saw.  The program I’m taking you get use of your own laptop, which is a Macbook Pro btw … There are no exams *Thumbs up* The program is all about projects, etc..  You learn everything media based basically. Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Web Design, Graphic Design.. etc. Looks like a good program. There is a placement at the end, so you get a bit of experience in the end at a company too. At the school it includes a bus pass within Durham (where I am), and gym membership Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. HAHA & when I was at the school I saw a bunch of people I already know and some of my friends are taking a new program in the fall too. I’ll have some people I already know going to school.  BONUS! ;P

Anyway, I went to Kingston on the 6th for Andrea’s Bday. I had a really great time. Lots of partying!! My fave. HAHA. It’s always good to get away from the normal. I love to travel so much. I’m planning on going back next week. So more fun to come! I can’t wait. This time, no crazy partying drinking… I think at least Planning on seeing Knowing. I love Nicolas Cage! His movies never disappoint me.

Last week I got a new laptop! I got this one from Best Buy it was on sale then. I picked it up last Thursday night. I’m pretty happy with it. It runs perfectly, so smooth and quick. I never thought I’d love a PC again. HAHAHAHA… I do miss my Mac OS though. oh well, soon September will come and I can use it again. har har. Laptops are so convenient,  love it. I’m not use to the webcam though. Sometimes I get freaked out that someone can see me. I’ve always had my webcam disconnected on my desktop, that’s just me being paranoid. A few weeks ago they had a episode on CSI (with Diddy btw) and they could access a stolen laptops webcam remotely.. that was freaky HAHA I know that’s all Hollywood though

IN MAY I am planning a trip to see Laurie in Montreal!!!!!! At the end of the month for her birthday. I haven’t seen her in a while. Like 2 years maybe? I forget. So I’m pretty stoked about that. Should be fun!!!

Umm, and I dunno what else…. ttyl

Upgraded my Wordpress to 2.7 the other day, and what I must say is that it is a lot easier to navigate. I love the new changes they have done to the dashboard. It’s perfect

Upgrade #2 – I really want to upgrade my current BlackBerry Pearl to the new BlackBerry Storm. My only dilemma is that I still have a contract with my current provider, and I would have to pay the total phone price. Which is $599. Way overpriced for my liking. I’ve looked at forums to see if there is anyway to get it for cheaper, and there is one way. I would have to call client care, and basically demand that I get some sort of discount. I’ve read that some people have gotten from $50-400 credit. It all depends on luck, and if the CSR is willing to go out of their way for you. *sigh. I think it would still mean I’d have to front the entire sum though. Which I do not have right now. Ugh…. who knows

Upgrade #3 – My computer has been pissing me off lately. I always go through this with every one of my computers I’ve had in the past. They break down at the year mark. BUT thankfully my computer has made it past that. BUY MAC! .. but it doesn’t have enough memory for the all the things I do on it. I like multi-tasking, and like having everything running at once, for convenience. I find I have to “Force quit” a lot of apps, because my computer isn’t running fast enough & I wait a while for a lot of things. It’s annoying me. I’ve almost bought a new laptop through Dell… even when I thought I couldn’t bare to switch back to PC.. PC’s are cheap! So now I’ve been looking into Referb’d MacBook Pros.. You save A LOT of money. Sometimes even over a $1000… you get the same warranty too and the same option for AppleCare.

I gotta win the lottery or marry a very wealthy man. LMAO. jk… not about the lottery thing though I bought my Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets on the weekend. I managed to snag floor seats. $150! The concert is on December 26th. I am so excited and cant wait to see my dad’s reaction when I give them to him. EEEEEE! It’s killing me to keep this from him! Christmas is so close now. I can’t believe it’s only next week! December has really flown by!!! THANK GOD
