I sold my car... to a girl in capris...

I'm really going! I booked all my flights yesterday to Prague, and also a night in London. I've even booked a hostel for the first night in Prague. It's so cute!! Here's a link: www.arpacayhostel.com if you're interested. The rest of the stay in Prague is at the University there, and we all stay in dorm-like apartments. I'm just going a day early, so I needed an extra night. On the weekend, we all go to Vienna and spend a full day there too. I'm still looking for a hostel in London, so if anyone knows of anything cheap, leave a comment. I've stayed in a hostel in London once before, but I really have absolutely no idea what it was called! Too bad because it was really fun. Hostels are really great because even if you stay in a room with 12 other people, you get to meet people from all over the world, and you can hear 10 different languages at any time in any room. My dad and I just realized today that my mom and I are actually on the same flight to Toronto! She is going to be meeting my dad in Romania and what a coincidence that we just happen to be taking the same connecting flight. So I guess I'll say goodbye to her in Toronto, when she flies off to Frankfurt, and me to London. What world travellors! This is certainly going to make finals go by easier, with something really great to look forward to.

Well on another note, I just sold my little Geo Metro for more than what we paid for it. Yippee! I am buying my aunt's little Sunbird, and it only has 98,000 kms on it. And the most important thing of all... AIR CONDITIONING! This is a true luxery, one I have never experienced in my own car before. I am thrilled that it has this. Also I have really missed having a 5 speed manual. Automatics really don't cut it for me. So after all my complaining of my stupid gutless automatic crappy defroster Geo Metro, I am finding that I'll actually miss the little piece of crap. I made sure that a suitable buyer got her. A girl, about 17 years old bought it. Well her dad bought it, but that is besides the point, she'll be the one driving it. I am glad I could pass along my friend the Geo to her (even though she was wearing capris...I'm such a hyprocrite), because she will really like it. Except when she remembers that Saskatchewan is a desert in August. And when she goes to defrost the back window and realizes she has to keep her finger pressed on the button if she wants to actually see out the back. Hehe. I forgot to tell her that. But when I bought it, they forgot to tell me that too, so I'm just passing it along. So I guess my dad is flying to Calgary next weekend to up my new/old car. And its red. HOT!

Well, I'm off to go hibranate in the library at school. Books, books, books. Sigh.

Kristin, I enjoyed your blog a lot! So what are you going to Progue for? I heard you were getting your aunties car from Jenna, that is so exciting, but you do realize that if you would have come to pick it up, you could have hung out with the coolest kid ever... ME!! Hey I have a question how do you get the blogs i read thing on your page, that would help me a lot at checking out my friends blogs... Kevin told me you helped him with that, so I was hoping you could help me too!!

Hello friends...

Ashley, I'll send you an email that I have that will explain it, and if you can't figure it out from there, I could probably just do it for you. It is a little confusing. I would LOVE to hang out with you in Calgary! But dad is flying there instead of me!!!
And I'm going to Prague for a Geography class with the University.

And Kevin, I don't even know if I'm going to like this car, I'm just really hoping that I do...!

What do you have against capris?

reporterbrock,
I have absolutely nothing against capris, I just think it's dumb when girls wear them too early in the season... like March 1st and its still below 0 degrees. I have no problem with March 1st, 15 degrees and a girl in capris. You might even see me in capris with those conditions. But if you read my previous post, you will see why I even brought up the fact that the girl who bought my car was wearing the dreaded capris.
