Okay, that's it. I think I should take an Economics/Business-y course

I hate financial....stuff...especially the type I have to deal with. Oh well, at least I'll be learning about loans thanks to this. Yay loans and possibility of loosing things!

Lesson today kids? Finances, loans, mortgages (l'hypothèque en français--now you can impress your FLA teachers too!), er--leans and othersuch much more complicated lingo that I cannot remember to save my life, is complicated and at times confusing. At least you won't have to deal with it until you're way into your late-20s or 30s....or 40s?

At least most of what I learned in Applied Math came in super-handy...and lucky for me, these two employees were very nice and very much willing to help me (They were super-pissed that no one in Calgary explained to me *exactly* what it was I was agreeing to)

And finally, the last question on my mind is this: Why do things like this always get bumped to the youngest member of the family? I'm seeing a disturbing trend here folks.

Oh, birthday was nice, got only...1 phone call from dad (Mostly asking if I had agreed to the fun financial thing) and another from mum's friend in New York plus several calls from financial people sadly not wishing me a happy birthday *sigh*. Other than that, aunt made a birthday fudgecake and we went out to East Side Marios for supper. Oh and my door was semi-decorated, that's never happened before (nor have I had birthday cake in the longest time..."longest time" being....some long time...oh my) though I remember the whole "wake me up early on my birthday" thing mum did lots to me. Good times.

And whoops, I didn't go and get a plane ticket yet. Haha.

And I was hoping to have a year where I didn't have to deal with silly finance idiocies but nooo. That is simply not the case. The Finance Gods obviously hate me. (Funny how around this time last year I was a ball of stress after finding out my newfound responsibilities of which I did not understand. Oooh like Karma kind of)

Ottawa Soccer stores obviously want me spending my money on their merchandise...Like those very nice F50+ Tunit cleats...not that I play outdoor.
