Ontario insurance
Now I am almost in my second month here at school and so far I have been sort of overwhelmed with all of the aspects of the experience. Since I had only seen the campus online I had to first of all figure out where on earth I have to go every day and what kinds of landmarks exist around here. I still haven't had a chance to go out and explore the surrounding areas of the town since I have just been so busy trying to get myself organized and in to some sort of a pattern that I can sustain for the rest of the semester. I have also been unfortunate enough to have chosen classes that demand a good deal of work every single week. The first week of class I bought around seven hundred dollars worth of books and study packets for this semester alone. These two things have sort of stuck me in a position where I have been basically stuck in survival mode for the last month. Now that I am beginning to feel things let up a little bit I have been trying to relax a little bit and get some of my own writing done.
This week my goals outside of class focus still on the process of integrating myself in to the area and to do that I have to talk to people back home. Before I left I had talked with the Financial Services Commission of Ontario about various ways in which I could finance my education. They helped me to get lots of scholarships and grants so that it has eased my burden just enough that I don't have to work a lot outside of schoolwork. This week I will be sending out my thank you letters to the organizations that sponsored me. I will also be dropping my Ontario insurance and my Ontario auto insurance and switching over to an American policy to use for the next four or five years. Wish me luck because I am going to need it to get all of this stuff done while I am studying for my first set of exams and writing my second and third papers.
