second day of summer 2010, and oh my goodness, i just love my friends these days. for some reason i feel the need for that random shout out. haha. nina and i said goodbye to kelly house yesterday... it was so sad. :( that room has been our home for two whole years, and we have had so so so many awesome adventures there. but we know we are going to both have amazing summers (hello, ill be on a ship!!) and then we will have all new adventures next year in george! oh and of course ill have SOOOO many stories to tell from sas i am sure of that :)
came back to fort mill yesterday evening. as for now, i am currently unpacking all my stuff from charleston, and from there i have three piles: stuff i don't want, stuff that goes with me to sas!, and stuff that goes back to chucktown for next year. i have to basically have everything packed up for fall 2010, because we do not get back from sas until august 21st... dorms at school open august 20th and classes start pretty soon after that.... so basically i will be fresh off the ship (nice and tan of course) and head straight to school. should not be too bad though, i just hate packing haha
so to avoid packing i do things like download music and play with cameras. i am pretty much a music addict and live off of pandora (which i wont have on the ship). since i usually just crank up the pandora or youtube videos, i have not really updated my itunes library in a while... so i am frantically trying to get music to listen to while i work out, study, sleep, and even chill on the ship. as for playing with cameras, my camera managed to break this past semester at school :( :( so sad. i love my camera. thankfully, my parents are letting me borrow theirs instead of me going out and throwing down a couple hundred bucks for a new camera. thanks mom and dad! :) so i get to save that "cash money" for traveling instead. score! but i do need to do things like figure out how to work the new camera, get additional memory cards, maybe get an additional battery?, and find not only the battery charger, but also the cord that hooks it up to my computer.... wish me luck!
was talking to my mom last night. i do not know if i have mentioned this yet, but my mom my grandmother and i are roadtripping down to halifax to drop me off. totally exciting, i know! anyways, we contemplated taking my grandparents camper, but we decided it would be easier to just take a car and stay in hotels. now my mom and i are looking into plane tickets.... we think it might be faster, easier, and cheaper to just fly from here to boston and then rent a car to go the rest of the distance. it would take off about 2/3rds of the driving and we do not really want to stop much until we get up towards boston anyways. my mom found some REALLY cheap flight tickets too. it would only be 60 bucks to fly from charlotte to boston (vs about 250 to fly to nova scotia). makes sense because they are both in the usa and also it is flying from one major airport hub to the next. basically, that is a tank and a half of gas for each of us to fly there. not to mention it would not put the miles on our car. and it would save even more money and time when my mom and gramma are driving back without me. still in very early planning stages, but we should figure out the rest of those details within the next couple of days. i'm crazy excited though!!
but for now, i should get back to unpacking/packing... totally lame, i know.
did i mention the countdown is 1 month and 8 days!!!!? so close i can almost feel the ocean breeze!
:]
