I’m a big girl now
April 28, 2007
I had my tour of the college today at 3pm. I was hoping for a private tour, considering I have a lot of questions regarding disability services and such, but I went on a tour with another guy and his parents so I didn’t feel comfortable asking all the questions I had in mind. He was going into Accounting or something, and his mom got a little chatty with me because she heard I was going into the Social Service Worker program and apparently she’s a Social Service Worker.
The tour was a lot of walking (for me anyway) but our tour guide assured us that our classes would be in generally the same area so it wouldn’t be too much walking. She also told us we could pick up bus tickets at the bookstore for $180 a semester. I guess that means it isn’t included in the tuition fee? Pooh. I was hoping it would be included. Instead, we get to go to a local gym free of cost. I thought this was stupid - I mean hello, I can’t do sports - until she informed me that there was a pool at the gym. I could swim during the winter months! I swim usually to releave some stress, so this is a good thing.
I’m really excited about college. I’m trying to get everything planned out and ready before August and I’m driving my parents crazy with my plans. I don’t mean to, I can’t help it though. It’s the next chapter of my life, so its no wonder I’m going to be a little excited about it! Yesterday during the second half of the day I visited a Rogers store and spoke to one of the people there about Rogers Home Phone and their cell phone plans. So far, it’s the best plan I’ve heard of. For a basic home phone package (basic line + 1 feature) it’s $29.95 a month and I think the lady said it was around $19 or so for unlimited calling anywhere in Canada. Plus there is no activation fee. I’m going to have to look deeper into that later on though.
Only about 4 more months before college! I really can’t believe how much I’m looking forward to it, I thought I would dread college. The only thing I dread is not seeing/talking to Nifty as often as I do, but I know we’ll work it out. The town I am moving to has a lot of cool entertainment places so if he came down to visit me we wouldn’t be bored. Plus I noticed there was a hotel near by, so if the weather was bad or it was too late for him to drive back home he could stay there (since my landlords won’t allow over night guests). I’m even thinking about getting new tires for my old bike, so I could bike down to school and such during the warmer months (but my parents are against that idea, so is my body!). And I noticed there was a pretty good pizza delivery place that Roomie and I could occasionally spend some money on for dinner as a nice refreshing change from Kraft Dinner.
See? I’m just bursting with college plans!
