The sweet ride

So I know all of you are going to think I am totally spoiled after seeing what a sweet ride I bought here, but I figured it was worth bragging about and risking jealousy. haha.
Oh, if anyone laughs at my car, I will run you over with it. I am NOT afraid to put more dents in it! ;)


Notice the three-toned paint? Silver in the front, gray on the sides, and white/gray on the top. So creative. There is also some tape residue where the bumper was held on by duct tape at a point before they wired it on with a coat hanger. See how advanced the technology has become??









Here we have a view of the steering wheel. Notice that it is on the right. I smuggled that turtle from Mexico. He rocks out when I drive. Those stickers on the front are the registrations. Instead of being on the license plate, they put them on the front windshield and only peel them off when there is no more room.






Here we have the drivers side. There is some lovely white stuff splattered on the doors, but I have been told it washes off. I am a little hesitant to try because it gives it character.










I think the previous owner didn't want anyone to be jealous so they pulled off the Mitsubishi lettering. Oh, and for those who are wondering, the antenna does not go up. It stays nice and discreet.









This is how the car got the nickname the "super trooper". Well, that is what I call it. I guess in Europe that means it is a 4 door or something.










So driving on the other side...I think I almost killed us twice and threatened the lives of many innocent pedestrians. I tend to hug the left side of the road because I am terrified of the oncoming traffic. :) By the time any of you visit, I will be a skilled driver.

Yesterday was a looong day. Got an early start and went to registration. They didn't have the AC on so there were a ton of students crammed in rooms trying to get everything done. Good news is, everything went very well yesterday...financial aid is here and I will be getting a check on Sunday. That is when mom leaves so it is perfect timing. haha.

After a long day at orientation, I still have no phone line to call out..my cell phone can't do it. You can call here, 1-869-660-5657 to my cell phone, but I don't have voicemail and it will cost you international calling. But it dials just like in the US so don't be fooled and think it is free!

I picked up Ash and Jaclyn after we were done and we went to the beach (with Will and Mom). It was nice to hang out with them and I am really happy to have met them. At least I know I will have two friends down here if all else fails! :) We met this funny guy named Captain Sunshine, "but you can call me 'Smiling Kenny' ". (He was giving mom an aloe vera massage) He was accompanied by his "special" friend that kept cursing and flipping Will, Jaclyn, and Ash off. I wasn't facing him so I didn't see. He would stand there talking to himself and then play with his balls, flip them off, and mutter, "f-you you f-ing bitch!" HAHA. The locals are, uh, funny....

Today I have to get a pin number for my bank card so I can access my money! I have been unable to touch any of it since Friday. No fun. Mom and Will have been life savers. After the bank I have to get pet food, listen to some lectures on living off campus, then a lot of mingling, eating, and fun times at the BBQ.

I still miss you all :(

OH. and a Happy Birthday to Shane! I hope your one arm doesn't hinder your ability to eat LOTS of chocolate (although vanilla would be way better) cake! :)
