I made my last payment on my provincial student loan today. Thats a loan that was amortized to be paid over about a 10 year period paid in 1.5 years. I'm quite proud of myself on this as I have one less loan payment a month now. Honestly I still have the larger federal loan left over but I'm going to bask in my pride for now.

Its gonna be a crappy crappy week. As many of you know when HP stopped doing thier customer service out of NS we took over for the toronto star (not that I still wanna be doing customer service of anytype but I suck at initiating change in my life). Anywho in general it has been a much better and less stressfull job but this week is gonnnnnaa ( Read more... )

Ah well I knew it was gonna happen, But I talked myself out of buying a laptop. Like many others I have a provincial and a federal student loan and I have to make payments on both monthly. As you may know I made a BIIIG provincial payment recently so I said fuck it I'm gonna do more and get rid of that provincial asap. Its down to 5000$ right now ( Read more... )

My two current choices are either a new PC or a laptop. There are pros and cons either way as a larger hard drive/ dual core processor/nicer graphics card would be good ( Read more... )

So I am on my vacation now, yesterday was the first day. I really have no plans, I wanna get atleast something productive done or be somewhat social but if that craps out I have a pile of games to play and a wad of dvds to watch so its going to keep me busy.

My cowboy bebop dvds finally came in, I watched the first 5 episodes tonight. Times like this I wish I had a fancy TV and sound system.

I hate deciding to order something and being 5 bucks short of free shipping. You can never find something else thats cheap, to get free shipping on your 35$ item you gotta buy something else for 40$.

Because of all the interest on my student loans I have a huge cheque coming back with my taxes this year. I had decided since its all because of how much I pay on my loans I should put it all directly onto my loans. Smart ideas no? hey I ordered all those dvds recently so I should do something smart. I was happy with this plan ........ till I had ( Read more... )
