The time has come!
My card, the TD Green Visa, has been pitted against the others!
Hm...
Actually, it seems Mr. Green has the highest interest rate...WTF, mate.
I didn't know that.... This site of ours is pretty informative!!!!1
But I guess, in the end, every card has its unique specialness, much like the unique specialness of each and every person on this little ol' hunk of dirt we call the world.
Man I can't wait to get drunk on Friday.
Hey valuable readers! If anybody wants to chill at Shannon's Irish Pub tomorrow night, I will be there, as it is my buddy Scott's birthday!

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
So I had a vision the other night.
It was thus:
Student credit cards of all types, all vying for supremacy in a tournament. One by one, they will be eliminated until there remains a single credit card.
One card to rule them all, One card to swipe them
One card to charge them all and in the darkness buy them
It has begun.
My card of choice has lain his TD brothers to waste.
Onward to the other banks, to rape and pillage.

It was a hellish night...
Stupid election assignment, distracting me from my important Buyer Beware duties...
Anyway, I spoke with my dear mother on the telly phone last night and it turns out her bankruptcy had nothing to do with credit card debt! It was NOT PAYING HER TAXES! Which is much, much worse! Like, doesn't that warrant jail time?
She just ended up owing the government assloads of cashola.
So I'm grateful my mother never went to jail for not paying her taxes, but I would have preferred if she had massive amounts of credit card debt so I could ask her about it for the project.
OH WELL

Progress! Report!
So I went and spoke with a TD bank representative, a nice young-ish lady named Sabina, who kept playing with her hair while I was talking to her, so I'm going to assume that she was into me.
Anyway: I have plunge has been taken. I have dived into the deep, dark, depths of the endless credit card ocean. Which card did I choose? Was it the "Classic travel Visa"? Was it the "Gold Select Visa"? Perhaps the "First Class Travel Visa Infinite"? FIND OUT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16th!
I also found out what a "grace period" is and some of the other mumbo-jumbo that i am unfamiliar with.
Oh, and I had an epiphany about the website/presentation, which I should email my dear group members about right away!

Buyer Beware Progress Report
So far not much has been happening on the Student Credit Card front.
This is likely reflected in the fact that I haven't posted in a long time.
BUT! Group meet in 20 minutes! SOUNDS PROMISING
Also, I have made an appointment to go talk to a nice lady at the TD bank down by the Bay...
I am venturing into the wild and crazy world of credit card ownership. And I will take all of you, my loyal readers, along for the ride! Yes, it will truly be a new experience. I am a credit virgin! Please, be gentle Toronto Dominion...
I know next to nothing about credit cards, so this project will help me as much as it helps the unsuspecting general public.
I was actually supposed to have this sit-down with a TD person last week, but my retarded brother didn't wake me up when he was supposed to. See, my phone was dying, so I turned it off, so I couldn't use it for an alarm clock, so I told my bro to wake me up, then he sleeps though his alarm, then I missed my appointment, then I missed the bus, then I was late for the seminar, then somehow STEVE found out I was late for the seminar and was all "RAAAWR," but then I explained the situation and he was more understanding.
ANYWAY
I have a little pamphlet thingy they gave me at the TD that shows the many features of their many different credit card dealie deals. I should compare this to the spreadsheet that Mr. James Mitchell Clinton was kind enough to draw up.
Oh, time to go!
