15 days until I'm done with finals!
22 days until I'm back home!
I've already told my parents what they need to bring at the airport: Taco Bell! Continued with a week long of fast food pleasures! Although I am going to miss the luxury of converting down to dollars. Sometimes it's nice to be worried at how much I spend at IGA, but when I convert it to dollars, I don't feel as bad. For example, one meal generally costs me around 20 EC - which is only $8. But when I'm back in the states, $20 means $20.
In other news, I did contract housing for 1 year when I signed my housing for this term. That means, I will have guaranteed on-campus housing for my first year here. However, a few of my friends have looked for off-campus locations to live. I went with them to look at a few places - it was really nice! When I think about the cost factor, it does seem like you can live comfortably well and still save around $500-$1000 each term by living off campus. While it is a good amount of money being saved, when you add up how much tuition is, it's really not THAT much. The most expensive thing in medical school is time, and I'm not sure how much time gets eaten away with living off campus. Who knows, it might actually end up saving time since you can be more efficient while on campus. I don't know...but I am opening up to the idea of living off campus. But, let's see how next semester goes. It's just nice to have a place to call "home" instead of a dorm room.

Where are you living next term?
I'll be on campus, but I don't know where.
