<104> The time has come: That moment that we've all (or at least I have) been waiting for... I move out tomorrow and this move isn't quite like moving out to the dorms or anything.  You see, tomorrow's "move out" is much more permanent for I move to a townhouse/apartment in Philadelphia with 3 other people and I have this place for 3 years... that's the rest of my college life.  So this is so much more final then a little dorm room someplace with people I only half know.  I think it's going to be good though.  The thing is, it's almost 3am already and I've been going all day.  It's been craziness and I still have all this packing to do tonight (or should I say this morning?).  I really don't know how I'm going to pull it off and the thing is that I've been packing all week already!  I don't know how I have so much stuff left!  So it's not for lack of planning, but oh well what fun would this be without last minute efforts? 

So today I went to the beach with my best friend.  Kind of like a last event of the summer I guess.  We went to the psychic because we've been saying we were going to do it all summer because other friends of mine have told me how entertaining it's been so we finally went.  Now I'm not really going to go into how much I do or do not believe in things like this, but it definitely was interesting to hear what she had to say and it was entertaining at that.  We decided it was so good that we're going to maybe make it a little summer tradition and go back next year.  We'll see.  But I'm glad we did it and if she's right I have some great things coming up - ah only time will tell...  So we spent a little more time on the boardwalk down there and then came home.  We had planned to make it a short trip because we wanted to spend a little time at home considering it was both of our last days before going back.   I only wish I'd actually gotten to spend a little more of my last day actually being at home, but what can you do?  When I got home I had to run out and buy my cable router and then I went into my apartment with my brother to set it up with my modem and such.  Oh and speaking of my ongoing modem saga - I called yesterday and finally got in touch with someone in customer service who could help me.  He said that there was a brand new special promotion going on at the King of Prussia Mall which let's you buy the actual cable modem for $49 (it normally costs $199 everywhere else or else you rent it like we were planning to do for like 8 bucks a month) plus you got 2 months free with your sign up.  I was very impressed with the deal and so is everyone else I tell about it, so umm if this happens to apply to you for some reason by all means go, oh and ask for John cause he was pretty nice and helpful to me.  Anyway, now that I've plugged this thing that probably no one who actually reads this can actually use, I will continue with my day.   However, come to think of it that pretty much was my whole day.  After I got back from setting things up (and I'm leaving out details of all the further problems that came up with the place) I just came back and continued with my packing.... oh and guess what I'm still doing now?  I decided I needed to take a little break and write considering I'm moving tomorrow, taking my computer with me, and considering the dependability of the cable company and such I'm not positive if I'll be back online tomorrow as planned or not.  We shall see, but until then adieu, adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow... err maybe I'll just find a way online tomorrow...  (P.S. sorry for the cheesy-ness, but I gotta leave ya with a little something special, don't I?)   See ya all in the city!!
