So I kind of neglected to post much of interest for the past little while. Christmas break was interesting to say the least. My great aunt had several heart attacks and a couple of surgeries, but apparently she's getting better now. My little brother rolled my dad's two year old car on new year's eve. My car needed a ridiculous amount of parts to be replaced. We ended up replacing a cv shaft, three of four wheel bearings, two ball joints, and there was also an engine mount on the Jetta gone. Not to mention the two struts that need to be replaced.
So dad's car was so badly damaged we figured it was written off, so dad had to buy a new car. He ended up buying an '06 white Impala, and he decided that I needed to get another car (I think it was mostly so I'd give my Jetta to the lil bro so he wouldn't need to use dad's new car). He ended up getting me an '01 Cavalier Z24 edition. Nice sparkly red colour. I'll post a pic when I get around to taking one. Only 91,000km on it too, we got it for $8500. Cheap when you consider all the other cars like it everywhere else we looked were about $3000 more than that, for the same car with more km's on it.
Well, that's my Christmas holidays. Kind of not good, but good also. Lost the Jetta with it's 45mpg, and ended up with the cavalier, with 26mpg, but much more power. Oh yea, and it's even got decent brakes! Volkswagens don't. Trust me on this if you've never experienced them. Chevy's always do. I just hate the fact that they're those anti-lock brakes on my car. Those things drive me insane.
Well, school has been going okay. At least one classmate has dropped out. We're finally taking a very practical semester, which is very nice. I hate theory. Already missed one day, it was -50C w/ the windchill, and I didn't want to go out and start my car, so I slept in. That was Friday. That night and last night I hung out with the guys upstairs. Actually, I was upstairs most of yesterday, from the time that Andrew woke me up via some rather distracting bass coming thru my ceiling. He went out to dinner with someone or other, but when he got back I watched him play xbox because my roommate's bf was here, and it's more than a little awkward sitting there with them. It also makes me totally jealous, I guess, because my bf is never here. May as well not exist most of the time, for the amount of time I see him. He was supposed to come visit last week some time, then it was this weekend, but now he's not supposed to be coming till next weekend, and that's a maybe. I sure as hell don't have the time or ambition to drive all the way home for nothing, because he's going to spend his time with his brother and his friends, and not me, if I go visit.
