Tomorrow is my last final (Japanese) and I'm going to totally breeze through it. After my final is over in the afternoon, I'm going to finish moving my stuff out of my dorm, and then Wednesday afternoon I'll officially check out. I can't believe my first year in college is already over. Seriously, no matter how "eh" or nonchalant I come off, I'm quite floored. I feel like the second semester passed by even faster than the first. Soon it will be August again, and time to start classes again. If I haven't done it already, I'll post my tentative class schedule sometime in the next few days. In the meantime, I'm getting ready for my vacation - man, I'm so excited! I called the bank today to have some Euros ordered, they said they'll have 'em by Thursday and I can pick 'em up then. My aunt told me to only change USD$200 worth, and that if it turns out I need more, then she'll buy them off me. ...I'm sure I'm going to need more, but she's being really, really nice because she's already expecting to buy me pretty much anything. Of course, I'm not going to take advantage of her like that, but it's still nice. I've been requested to bring over a few things, like Cheetos, Kraft macaroni and cheese, Kool-Aid, and fajita mix...lol. What was really funny was when I was talking to my aunt about which types of Kool-Aid she wanted me to bring (because as you know there are a ton of flavors). She said "Oh, I don't know...anything, I guess. Except grape. Well, maybe a grape, just to remind me of how much I hate it." hahahaha. And then when I was talking to one of my cousins via Facebook, I mentioned that his mother wanted Kool-Aid, and he said "Yup, mom can't go long without her Kool-Aid." To me, there's just something about the mental image of a 50-year-old Austrian lady going nuts over Kool-Aid that I find totally hilarious. :)
Anyways, I leave next Wednesday, and my cell phone won't work over there. So I won't be able to respond to text messages/phone calls (obviously), but I will still have regular (I'm assuming) access to a computer and the Internet, so should still be able to frequent Facebook, Blogger, e-mail, all that jazz. So, just a heads-up.
8 days! Yesss!!~~

Yes the picture of a 50 year old Austrian woman going nuts over Kool Aid is quite funny. :) Bring a couple of other flavours besides Grape to see if your Aunt goes nuts over any others besides Grape. Oh try Cadbury chocolate while you are there before Herseys gets a chance to ruin it. They just bought out Cadbury which is a amazing British Chocolate and knowing Hersheys they will ruin it. Also be sure to try all the food that look weird to you over there. Those usually are the best tasting foods.
I'm checking out of my dorm Thursday. Which reminds me that I need to finish packing as my room at the moment is a disaster zone. In my defence I actually live in this room so its like a studio apartment for me as going home is rather difficult and expensive for me. 2 more finals to go for me. I have one in a hour and one tomorrow evening.
You had better post pictures while you are there.
i'll take pictures, but i won't have a cord to upload the pictures with. maybe i can ask one of my relatives if they'll let me swap out my memory card into one of their cameras in order to upload? can't hurt. and hell yeah i'm gonna try all the foods i can! my cousin said he went to an australian restaurant a couple weeks ago and had a kangaroo burger. i told him we're deffo gonna go there, then. but i shan't be partaking in the grasshopper dessert, lol.
also, i like how you spell words in the British fashion :)
Is it just me, or did you not say that she hated Grape kool-aid? And then David says "Bring a couple of other flavours besides Grape to see if your Aunt goes nuts over any others besides Grape."
Does that mean he thinks she wants it really badly because she likes it (I may be mistaken, but she said "Well, maybe a grape, just to remind me of how much I hate it.")
I think it went over his head yet again!
I love this guy. He's hilarious.
....
And I'm a jackass!
Sorry I admit that occasionally I do have brain farts.
both of you, play nice.
In my defense it was finals week when I wrote that comment so my brain was fried.
I'm pretty much talking to jared, not you, david :)
