I'M DONE MY SUMMER COURSE - and other random happnings

I went to the Counting Crows/Goo Goo Dolls concert last night...AMAZING! Thank you Meighan for the birthday present. I never realized how many good songs the Goo Goo Dolls have written. The piece de resistance for me was definetly the Counting Crows - they have been one of my favorite bands since I was in grade 7. The only shocker was that they didn't play Mr. Jones - but they still played a bunch of their other greats: hanginaround, Mrs. Potter's lullaby, Big Yellow Taxi, Round Here etc. It was such a good show.

The ride home was eventful - I had a few drinks at the show (dont' worry I wasn't driving) - on the 401, we heard a funny sound - Meighan noticed the car was driving a little funny. Sure enough once we get out in the middle of nowhere (between Milton and Acton) we pull over and realize we have a flat. It's 2 in the morning and me and Meighan are trying to figure out how her jack works so we can change her tire - Long story short: Creepy truck drivers pulls over to help us, changes our tire and then says "you come in my truck for 10/15 minutes" I look at Meighan and Yell "get in the car and lock the damn door" - Creepy truck driver was at Meighans window and we booted out of there. One of the top ten scary/funny moments of my life.

Back to buisness:
I am finally finished my essay and can say that I am done school for this term!!!!!!! That final essay violated me, I have never had so much trouble writing an essay in my life - I must have re-written the thing 8 times before deciding layout, and quotes etc. I had about 22 word documents going on for this essay and the final product was only 8 pages long!!!! I must be the worst essay writer ever!
But now that my course is finished I can start focusing on my trip. I still have so much little crap to do before I go. I bought (or I should say my parents bought) my lugage set the other day. I think I am going to have a big problem with packing. I jam packed a hockey duffle bag for my week in the Dominican, and now I am supposed to pack for my year away in France in two little suitcases!?!?!?!? I'm sure I'll figure something out. But the biggest thing I am going to miss, that I can't bring with me, is all my books!!!!! I love my little library that I have going on, and it comes in handy when I'm writing essays etc. Oh well. I guess my problem in France will be restraining myself from starting a new library while i'm there - I definetly won't be able to get everything home if I do that!

till next time
