Got my (pretty sizeable) bursary. Canadian financial aid is so much better than American, though I suppose it helps that my parents have no income in Quebec... or like, in Canada in general. Unfortunately, I still owe the US $11k, which I wouldn't have if I had taken steps to establish myself here earlier, so that's really my bad.
Also signed the lease on an apartment, move in is next month, so I'll be much, much closer to school/work, and also away from my large, extended family, which I admit has both negatives as well as positives. The positives mostly being related to social things, related to not being out to anyone in my family (also being much closer to the gay village, as I am clearly the type that goes clubbing on the weekends). The negatives are, admittedly, just the added expenses.
I have two classes left in undergrad, and I have no idea what I'll do. Well, I know what I can do, and I know what I want to do, but what I want to do doesn't necessarily overlap with what I can do, but still, fingers crossed. I really love what I'm doing, and I hope I can continue.
Things have gotten so much better for me, and I'm so much happier, but... being the person I am, I can't help but feel that there's great disappointment looming ahead.
