School! I finish my research at the end of July and start again in Sept. August will likely include giving my brain a rest. How I intend to do that though is a mystery to me ;).

Working till mid-August, then giving my resignation

Then packing my apartment and moving to the city for the 1st of September

Look for a new job and get my loan finalized for school, which I'll start in January.

That's pretty much it. I can't afford to do anything special. All of my money is going to the move.

And I can imagine that if you're moving to one of the big Canadian urban centres, that's costing you an arm and a leg ;).

Let's see, I'm working full-time but I love having fun. Here is my list off the top of my head:

1) I want to spend the weekend in a city (closest being St. Louis or Chicago) with friends partying.

2) Get to know a certain girl and possibly date her

3) Actually DO something this Fourth of July. Actually thinking of combining this one with number one on my list.

That is all I can really think of right now. I have already gone to a wedding and had fun there so that was crossed off.

I hear Chicago is a fantastic party city. If you combine that with a holiday, that is going to be a fantastic weekend. Me and a buddy were going to do a road trip there but that fell through. Plus, with new border regulations, I'm not sure both of us would have been able to go without a hassle.

And my left kidney...

But realistically, for a nice, 3-bedroom apartment, we've got our eyes out on some that are in the $12-$1500 range.. There will be my gf, myself, and my good friend splitting on a place, so it'll be easier that way.

And I'm talking downtown Toronto too :D

I love Chicago, however St. Louis is much closer to me. I hear they have a good event down by the Arch in St. Louis every Fourth of July. I would love to do this but it will be an expensive weekend and I don't know if I'll be able to find many people wanting to join in. So far most of my friends don't think they'll be able to do it.
