I Don't Have A Title For This Post.

Been a while, hasn't it? For once this is just going to be an update post not a topic post. Been pretty busy since my last post. I got my university residence application and deposit in. There was some issue and I got stuck in the system regarding the application and since I had to actually submit the application before sending the deposit–and the deposit being due in 7 days–I got a little panicked to say the least. Who knew how long I'd be stuck in the system for? And even just transferring the money. If it so happened that I ended up having to send it right before the weekend, that'd be 5 business days PLUS the weekend that my deposit would have to make it there, making a neat one week time limit in which I could completely miss the deposit deadline. So yes, I was a bit stressed about that. Luckily I got through the system in time and the deposit went through just fine and I made the due date with 4 days to spare.

Then there was the whole thing about planning my trip to Philly. Yes, I am going down there to visit Kevin once again. Have a lot of things to do there. Got that all planned out and okayed with my parents which actually took a lot longer than "since last post." My relationship with my parents is so weird and awkward and it's always a tip toeing affair.

This made some more work for me though: Americans, did you know that your immigrations is so paranoid that a person whose passport is within 6 months of the expiration date may be denied entry into your country? Yeah... Even Canadians, your friendly northern neighbours (actually, we're planning an attack on your government. Be prepared to be liberated and annexed). Well my passport expires this December 20th and the trip is to be July 20 so... yeah. Had to go get my passport renewed. But I was 15 last time I had the passport made and they require you to have been at least 16 the last time you made your passport in order to just renew. So instead of renewing I had to apply for a new one basically. They say it'll be here on July 7th. Let's hope it really makes it here by then (my dad expressed concern that it may be late because Canada Post is on strike... but some of them are still operational so hopefully it'll be alright. Besides, 7th - 20th is a long time).

And then something that's really been keeping me busy but in a good way: Fallout 3. Since I'm leaving for Philly on July 20th and won't be back until August 18th, I'm really starting to worry whether I can get this LP done before I go off to university on September 3rd. I know I still have quite a while left but you guys know my usual speed of playing things. It doesn't help that I seem to be taking forever to do just about anything in that game. I'm recording way ahead of my uploading so while Part 17 is going up right now as I type this, I have up to Part 34 actually processed and ready to upload as well as probably up to around Part 42 that is still in raw unprocessed video form. Yeah, I have THAT many videos recorded but I've still barely made any progress on the main quest of that game. I haven't even gotten to Rivet City yet. I've met Three Dog and I'm currently trying to get the dish for him from the Museum of Technology or whatever it was. Can't believe I have so many videos yet so little done. It's Moira's fault. I keep doing her research quests. Bad Moira! Bad! But that really is what I like about this game I suppose: just having so much to do. People having their individual stories and lives. It's a very interesting game. I really would be 100% in love with it if not for the crazy crashing problems. Anyways, should head off now, it's 2:30 AM! Jeez. Gooooood night.
