I got accepted at McGill.
I have to pass a standard language proficiency test soon.
I'm scared. I'm nervous.
Applying and getting accepted a year earlier than I had planned messes up alot of my plans.
I'll have no other choice but to work while I'm at university. I'll take 4classes. Not 5. And work about 20ish hours a week... I have no other choice... I have to calculate about 400$ a month...
Plus the cost of my studies that my parents are fully paying for.
Minimum wage = 7.45$/h
At 20ish hours a week... with all the deductions from the government crap... would be about 120$ a week? 125? Approximately, I guess... That only gives me 480$ a month...
Alright, I need to make some sort of budget.
And if I work 30-40hours a week, this summer... With the money I have saved up... Plus what I'll make this summer... I should be... alright. I won't have to stress out too much... But then again, I don't know how expensive school will be.
I might just get a loan, too.
Yeah, I know, start school and I'll be in debt and I haven't even started living a life outside of school yet, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. And after all the government cuts in education this year, considering that my two parents are together and I haven't been independant and on my own for at least 2years, I might get... 300$... 400$? that's it. Which sucks. But hey, its better than nothing, I suppose.
This is so bloody stressing me out. I need to plan some type of budget... seriously. I'll look into that when school ends, not right now, I have enough stress with school and my internship...
My first radio show went really well. I absolutely adore doing the technical side of the radio. It's so so much fun. If it weren't so hard to make it in that field of work, I'd jump right into it. No doubt. I love it.
I have so much stuff going on right now and I'm on strike, still.
I'm on STRIKE and I'm stressed with stuff. But I need to get organized, like I did last semester. That helps. Objectives set, I know what has to be done. It's less chaotic that way.
We want to get another kitten... Simon's brother is gonna give them all up soon... Just get rid of them. Not give them to some association, too much trouble. He'll just abandon them, and that breaks my heart. It'd be a black cat... They're tiny and adorable, apparently. But damn, we already have 2cats and the litter and the food? Its damn expensive... I don't know if we should get another one... I think we're good with two. Especially if we want another snake. AND we want a ferret... Well, I want a ferret. We're turning Eric's room into a play room for the cats and futur ferret (be it in a year or in 6months) and for the computers and such... It'd leave more room in the living room for sitting furniture. I want to paint this summer, too.
There's just so much going on and we're on strike. Strikes are supposed to be a time where you sit back and relax. Fuck that, I haven't really relaxed (except last night, we went out and played pool with friends... I drank alot... For free! except for the long island iced tea... and i paid for half of the table so hey). I want it to be the summer break. right now. please. I need to pass all my classes. I need to get my diploma. If I don't, I'll be crushed. Working so hard at something for two years only to NOT get your diploma? No thank you. Everything'll be okay... I'll pass all of my classes.
This seems to be a recurrent issue for me, come mid-semester period =\... And I always seem to freak out and end up passing anyway... This better be the case this time, too... Only this time we got a 3week strike going on... Heh, yeh.
I miss you guys. Alot.
DAve, I e-mailed you like.. weeks ago... =\
I miss Dave. So so much.
I miss Katie. So so much.
I miss Jerome.
I miss Phil. So so much.
I miss Curtis.
I miss all of you. You need to leave a comment and talk to me and yeah, attempt to keep me sane. Cuz I miss you guys so much. Once things get settled around this house, I'll be here more. Right now, its hell and I wish I could call all of you and just talk to you guys. I think about all of you guys alot and how I miss all of our conversations. Its not cuz I'm not online that I don't miss or think about you guys. I miss our talks so much. I heart you. <3
I'm off to homework and planning and organizing what needs to be done.
So long.
