  New phone and college orientation

  Today, after nearly three years on the same plan with the same phone, i've got a new one. I'm paying my own bill, too. The phone is a black Samsung U410, and my provider is Koodo Mobile, costing me roughly $34 a month. I didn't pay a dime to get the phone today, and my plan is pretty awesome. Unlimited text and picture messaging, evenings and weekends free past 7pm.

  

  And today was also orientation at St. Clair College, where i'll be pursuing journalism. I met some cool people, one of which i share all my first semester with. I get my press pass next week, and i'm really excited to start on tuesday. My schedule for college is this:

  Monday: 8am - noon, 1pm - 3pm
  Tuesday: 2pm - 5pm
  Wednesday: 10am - 11am, noon - 5pm
  Thursday: 9am - 1pm, 3pm - 6pm
  Friday: nothing!
  
  Note: I didn't separate the individual clas'ses, i only stated the blocks of time where i have clas'ses. There are some separate clas'ses on monday mornings and wednesday afternoons, but it wasn't worth complicating things.

  DS game #32: Electroplankton

  #32: Electroplankton
  Wow. I woke up this morning and, as i always do every morning, checked the game listings on Kijiji, the free local classified ad site. It's a big hit in Windsor, and i found several of my games on there previously, like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Well today i found Electroplankton, which is one of the rarest DS games released, and fetches upwards of $60 on Amazon for a used copy. Guess how much i paid. Ten dollars. $10. Go me.

  DS game #31: Civilization Revolution

  #31: Civilization Revolution
  This was a very surprising find earlier today. I was in EB Games, just scanning through the DS games, and i saw Civ Rev in the pre-owned area. Not expecting much, i look for the price, only to see it listed at $20. That's right, $20 used for a game that's been out for just over a month. I was very lucky to get this for such a low price, and it brings the number of games i'm currently working on to five. Five. Wow. And i can't wait to play this, the reviews sound favourable.
