WAAAY too old!

There are some things that I think I am way too old to say. For example, I'm getting nervous about starting a new school! Now, this comment would seem normal, if I was a teacher. But as a student? Yeah, I think I'm a little too old to be saying that.

But, even though I am EXTREMELY nervous, I'm super excited, also. I hope things work out smoothly. Eek! Wish me luck!

Montana without school is super awesome! I really, really like it here. Now. The winter and cold weather might be a different story. But I won't know until I've lived through it, right?

I think my adorable kitten likes it here, also. He likes to take the stairs at breakneck speeds, likes sitting on the window sills looking out at the mountains, likes to annoy the cat next door, likes to hang out on the balcony, and likes to hang out on top of the counters. Although, because he's enjoying the great outdoors so much, he's been having to take a few baths. He HATES being brushed and bathed, but today he had to suffer through it. So he's a little irked at me. I think he's getting back at me by laying on my black pillow while wet. Wet, white cat fur, on my black pillow. Oh well.

Anyway, off to watch some movies and enjoy my last days off. As soon as school starts on Monday, I won't have anymore breaks. I'll be in, or at least on my way, to the real world. Scary!

Montana, Montana!

Just a quick post, while my computer finishes updating...

I've officially moved to Montana!!!! And I love it here! It's so pretty, and my new place is absolutely fantastic! I posted pictures on facebook about how it currently looks, and eventually I'll post them on here when I get internet.

Yes, that's right, internet. I don't have it yet, and it's killing me! I never realized how much I relied upon it until this week. I called last week to have it set up, but the closest time they could give me was the next week. So, three more days for me. I've watched tons of movies, read a lot of books, used my iPhones internet, and cooked a little. But a little about the iPhone internet. AT&T doesn't exist up here. At all. Even though, in those silly commercials with Luke Wilson, he specifically said Bozeman, Montana, it is not here. I got a text this morning, saying my out of network data usage was extremely high. I called them, but there is little they can do about it. There are no towers, and it's costing them money for me to use other carriers. Which means in a couple of months they'll shut it off completely. In fact, the top of my phone now tells me whether I have network or not. And since there is no network, it just constantly says 'Off network'. Nice. But if they do cut it off, I can switch to a different carrier without having to pay a fee to terminate my contract. Which is good, because I still have a year left. I'm thinking about switching to Verizon, but I would really like to keep my iPhone. However, if Verizon doesn't carry the iPhone when I switch, I will find a different phone. This is just too much hassle to deal with. Ugh...

Anyway, about to leave the coffee shop I'm currently in, so about to lose my only internet connection I've had in a while. 3 more days... sigh...

Whoops, did not mean to make this a complaining post.

Love Montana, go look at facebook pictures!
