Vacation Planning

OK, so I spent the last week and a half trying to figure out the Disney Dining Plan, which, at least for me, was very confusing. I just now today made a tentative schedule for our vacation, and I'm happy to be done with it. At first I thought we would get the simpler dining plan, which comes with 1 snack, one fast food meal, and one table service meal per day. I thought this would leave us without a breakfast, and would have to pay more on top. Figuring in (way too much) extra money for breakfast, it looked cheaper to get the more expensive plan. The more expensive plan gives you your choice of 3 table services per day. So I picked all of the most expensive places around for reservations. But when I had Disney World change our reservations, the amount seemed more expensive that I had hoped... I rechecked all the numbers, and found out that the "snack" per day is a lot bigger than I had thought. So now I'm set on going for the lower meal plan, and it should work out... I'm just going to verify it with Hannah first, because I don't want to have to change it anymore.

In other news, my webhost got a better server to it, and now it works properly again, without ads. I'm happy again.

Vacation Update

I just got back from my Easter vacation, and had a great time. I got to hang with Dave Sigrist and his wife, Katie. I also spent some time with Hannah and her family. We went over a few things for marriage preparation, which was nice, because now it's not looming over us so much.

I got our reservations made for our meals while we're gonna be at Disney World, too. That is sweet, because now we know where to be and when, and won't have to wait so long for a table.

We came back to school on Tuesday, but then on Wednesday we had our Arbor Day at school. For me, that means I get a day off, because I'm a Senior. So the guys and I went golfing, and just messing around, since it was a nice day.

Now I'm back to the final stretch (really it's still over 4 weeks) of school. I'm totally excited to graduate and be off. It should be quite the summer, with moving back home, lifeguarding, moving to Milwaukee, getting married, and the honeymoon. Then it's off to Seminary next fall. It will be quite a change, but I'm confident it's all a change for the better.

Sweet News

Today I turned in my History paper, and I am going to finish my Philosophy paper, as well. I'll be handing Philosophy in tomorrow. If that happens, I'll be all set to check out for break. Also, I got my new 16GB SDHC flash card today. I tried it on for speed, and I only got 8.6MB/s for write speed, and 15.7MB/s for several smaller files' transfer. Supposedly this one had 17MB/s write and almost 20MB/s read. I'm upset, but I haven't gotten the chance to test it out in our camera yet, because Hannah has it in Milwaukee, so I'll be able to try later on this week. The whole thing was that I needed a disk on which to record HD video. At the very least, it beat out my previous card that had a write speed of 1.4MB/s and read speed of 7.4MB/s. Now, I know that the old card did record for a little bit, but had a hiccup, so it seemed that its average speed was OK, but its minimum was not. Also, I looked at a couple of the high def videos I have, and divided up the size by the length of time... They work out to be just under 1MB/s. So, I am pretty hopeful that it will work out. I'll keep you posted.

History Done!!!

I FINALLY completed my big history paper for the semester. That's a massive load off of my back. For the next 4 days I will be trying to do my Philosophy paper, which is due right after break. I'm going to try to get it done right before break. And after that, when I get back I only have one small History Since 1945 paper, and one even smaller paper for Hebrew. I'm so stoked.
