An actual post relating to my life.

[jhameia]

After much talking and changing of plans, my dad has decided to come up in June, right after I get back from WisCon, to help me move. I'm looking to re-route my Halifax-Kuala Lumpur flight to Hamilton-KL.

I am in need of space to put my stuff away when I leave on May 12 for New Jersey. Anybody in my flist who lives in Halifax willing to help keep stuff for me from May 12 - 31? If you agree to hold my books, you can rifle through the boxes all you like!

Also, the following items are up for sale (or whatever, to be honest):

- writing desk
- coffee table + two side tables
- papasan chair
- corner shelf
- 2 foldable chairs
- drop-leaf table + three dining room chairs
- 1 televsion + shelf
- i futon couch

I would like to take the dropleaf table and coffee table with me, but I doubt I'll find anybody to store it for me in the meantime.

So, my dad's coming up June 1 or 2, and we're going to visit Cape Breton, then we'll rent a U-Haul and take the long drive out to Toronto. We'll probably spend an overnight in Montreal, I think, I hope - anybody who's moved to Ontario from Halifax care to tell me how long it really takes?

Once in Toronto, we'll put my stuff in storage in Hamilton, and swan around Toronto and Hamilton. I want to get hold of the local maps there and visit the campus.

I've checked out the potential courses for the school year, and I'm pretty excited at what I see. I've got half a mind to email a couple of profs I'm interested in talking to (neither of whom are teaching the classes I want to take, oddly) to pitch my thesis idea (steampunk as postcolonial narrative tool) and see if they'll be my advisor.

I totally want to order the books we are reading in classes and get to them immediately, and spend my summer prepping for the course, just because I have the time.

Man, I'm a nerd.

ANYWAY.

HALIFAX PEOPLE.

WANNA HANG OUT WITH ME BEFORE I GO?
