pack and go

Wow, did I ever underestimated how much stuff I have to bring! I thought I'd be fine with 3 suitcases. It turns out that 3 suitcases took care of my clothes (note: not including shoes). Okay, okay, so I was, strongly encouraged, to bring everything with me (summer, fall, winter clothing), and I don't have any particular interest in coming back anytime soon. So, lots of stuff: my sax, my trumpet, stationary chest, 2 storage boxes of... stuff, one sports bag of shoes, printer, stereo, rice cooker, diplomas and other stuff to go on the wall, one duffle bag of cadet stuff/uniform parts, etc, etc, etc. Plus laptop, hangers, hairdryer... I just want to be prepared, right? ;)

It's my cousin's birthday tomorrow, so we are going to have a barbecue as a joint b-day/farewell party for him/me. I'm going to aim to leave by 8:30 Sunday morning. Getting excited about school (yes, I know I'm a geek).

new phone

Here it is, my brand new LG2000. I don't need a camera at all (considering I just brought a digital one this summer), but the rest of them are either ugly or too expensive. I realize that I cannot live without the flip function, because without it, I don't have an 'escape button' (by flipping it close and reopening) to get back to the main screen when I get lost, which was what was frustrating me the most about the other phone yesterday. I had to keep turning it off and on. Crazy, I know. By even cell phone use is habit forming, right?

clarification

Sorry, let me clarify:

Rob booked a flight for Windsor in October, to come see me.

On other news:

I dropped my phone in water yesterday. Totally fired. I'm so sad, 'cuz I really liked my Sony Ericson z200. So I went out and got the cheapest replacement I could find, which was a Siemen A65. But that phone is like working in MS Dos. So I'm going to return it and go for something today.
