Default HOLY MOLY It's official!

:eek:

^ This lil guy says it all...

OMG I just made the biggest impulse buy in life. Holy Frick...why am I so spontaneous sometimes? So I was on STA's website, perusing the prices of tickets and I saw that the price of the one to Jo'Berg was 200$ cheaper than before, and there was only one left and the next thing I knew...I'd bought it! I didnt even look at the times it was leaving or anything! I just....took it because I didnt want anyone else to get it. I really should have taken the one a day later because this one lands a day earlier than I would have like....I also should have called them and gotten them to put it on 2 credit cards instead of 1...but I didnt want to lose it...and I'm at work and I didnt want my boss to overhear....haha I'm a tard. Oh well. I'm officially going to SOUTH AFRICA in January!!!!!!! F*** yeah!

Thanks guys! Actually as of right now I feel sooooo much better about it as I just got my credit limit increased on the credit card it's going to (and which it originally would have gone over). YES! I love Mosaik! And I love STA! Good day! (and I will most definitely still be there around the 28th Bri, my program ends Mar 22(or somewhere thereabouts within a couple days) and I plan to stay and travel fo a while after my program. :D

That's BALLS!!! And that's totally the way to do it. Indulge yourself! No punishment. We're all going to be dead in 100 years anyways, and we'll rarely regret not having been "reasonable enough" in our youth.
