Well, I'll be moving my stuff out of my house to my new place on September 1st. I just have to pretend I'm living at home until about Sept. 5 to collect September's child support and then I'm out.
I will bring my parents together on Sept. 6th or so to discuss whether or not they will support. I decided not to sue my parents. I figured if they want to help, they can. If they don't, they don't. I'll have my tuition paid, which is why I'm waiting until September. Tuition is due on Aug. 22nd and they have to pay it. Lawyer suggested this because the likelihood of my parents helping are basically nil.
If they choose not to help, the chances of them seeing me again are nil. I If they help, that's fine. I'm still moving across the country in May 2008 anyways. Whether they help or not will most likely be the difference in graduating with $5000 in debt or debt free. I figured I can handle $5000. That's with like $2500 cash on the side to support myself at the beginning when I move away. (Not including plane ticket and such. That will be all paid for before hand.) I figured I can live for 2 months without a job with that much. I do plan on having a job before leaving though. If I don't, that's ok. I'll just fly there and try to get any job I can, McDonald's or whatever meanwhile looking for another job. So, I figure $2500 will last about 4 months with a dead end job, and with another $5000 of available credit that's like another 4-6 months. I should be able to land a decent job within 8-10 months. With a degree in Mathematics and diploma in Business and honours in both, I should be ok.
I'm SO excited though. I signed the lease. It's $380/month total. Plus maybe $30/month for cable and phone, shared. The place is nice. Nice landlords with a really nice house. Hot tub and everything. Big room. Cute girl living there already.
I'm SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited. The time is going by sssssoooo slow though.
I'm enjoying learning Chinese lately though. I should be able to read Chinese by the end of the month. The girls that tutor me (like 3-4 of them) say I pronounce the words very good, so that's a bonus.
PS. If you want to learn a language, don't do Pimsleur/Rosetta Stone/Audio. I tried to speak "Chinese" to the girls, and they didn't understand a thing and I listened to each Pimsleur lesson like 5-10 times.

edit: btw 380 a month in vancouver is CHEEEEAAAP.
I hope it's not just over this tutition thing and, whatever it is, you don't lose contact with them; that certainly isn't worth being $5k out of debt.
