Guess who got to drive all alone today? Me! It's was only down to Fountain Gate through, but it's better than nothing. Hopefully it'll only take a little more convincing till I can drive to Deakin on my own. It wasn't scary or hard so much because when I drive my parents don't make decisions for me or anything, they just usually sit there talking to each other, though they point things out here and there. It's was strange because I've always have had someone next to me talking, I put some music on so it was so quite.

There was a reason I went though, I wanted to do a little job hunting and handed some resumes (which I realised later on I should have added a heap of additional information) in. Most places unfortunately where full or had just hired people, I probably should have mentioned I don't mind if it's around Christmas time. Most of the major places like Coles, Target, Kmart etc, all said that you have to apply online now. I avoided all food places, but if I'm desperate, I'll try them.

ETA: WOOT!! Things just even better!! I just realised the marks are already out for my SIT261 assignment 1, and I got a HD (80%+), and there where only another 2 people who got HDs. Most people seemed to get C (60% - 69%) and seemed not to do that great on it, any who I'm really happy with my mark, glad my HTML skills came in handy, lol. We basically had to create a interface (either HTML or flash) that linked a bunch of files provided, and at the same time organise the files better and fix anything here and there and make sure their the correct format. I've done similar for previous assignments which we've have had to hand in in CD format so it helped, but this one had 850+ files all over the place. Little worried about the next assignment though (due Wednesday) because we have to create a DVD which I haven't done before (I've always have burnt data, rather than a watchable one).

I know I said I'll take photos of on the weekend of my new car but I didn't have time yesterday and I was going to do it today till I realised my Dad took the camera with him when he went out. I could use my phone but I'm ever going to be bothered to take them once so I want to use the SLQ camera because the quality is heaps better. I don't have classes Tuesday so fingers crossed I can do it then.

I did go driving in it yesterday though, longer than the other day. I drove to Deakin then my cousin's, then of course back home, parents where with me of course, still not allowed to drive it by myself yet.

I need to get off my butt and make myself some new icons, I haven't made a new icons in weeks, maybe even months.

ETA: My Dad didn't take it with him, my Mum put it away which I didn't think anyone would because the photos hadn't been loaded up on the computer. Also made a few icons.

There was a House special on after House today with a special announcement, which I had a feeling it would be that House would air at the same time as the US and we would get the next season October 3rd. I'm pretty sure it was footage from the DVD because they showed the season 3 bloopers, but they showed a few short new clips of the "I believe" promo. There's a cute one of Cam/Jen cheering, oh and a clip of a few of the cast (If I remember correctly it was Lisa and Jesse) announcing we will get House at the same time. I manage to record it so hopefully I can upload soon.

Side note, I GET MY CAR TOMORROW!! Photo shall come probably the weekend, I have another assignment due Friday so I'll probably be spending all my time doing that.

Guess who has a car?... kind of. We went to Berwick Mazda today and they had a new black Mazda Neo which we haggled down to $24,000 (which is still more than my parent wanted to spend, they didn't want to spend more than $22,000) drive away, started at $26,000, but then we weren't sure because we had seen another at another Mazda which had some extras, and we wanted to ask about the price there but the guy said we wouldn't get the same price if we leave. So my Dad well it doesn't matter then and we left and we to the other Mazda where one of our family friends knew someone who worked there, anyway we spoke to that person and he matched the price so we brought it there, I also got it in Carbon Grey (I was able to pick the colour where in Berwick it was the show room one), I couldn't decide between it and black but the guy said it was better because the metallic was more noticeable. I feel a little bad for the guy at the Berwick one because he was super friendly and *cough*cute*cough*, it was just his manager that was saying the whole we won't give you the same price thing. LOL he even said to me "Zoom zoom?", Mazda's motto.

My parents have paid the deposit where just waiting for it to get here now. I probably won't be allowed to drive it right away since I just got my licence.

I'll make sure to take photos when I get it.
