After several weeks of phone tagging, I've finally got an answer for how to register into a school. They told me to wait until the school opens so that I can ask if they are able to take me in, wait until they open on the last week of August. Now this is hard for me cause let me describe my situation. My boxes of personal belongings have arrived but must be picked up from the post office within a week and a half, which is before the school opens. I do not have a car and can only call on people to help me move. Now I am ready to move...problem is, to where? I already had my eye on a certain neighbourhood that I can choose to rent but is it suitable for me in terms of school? Because I can't register yet and I don't know if the school is available for a new student like me, and I can't do anything about it until the school opens. So if they cannot accept me, then what? I'm afraid to move because I'm afraid of what would happen if the school doesn't accept me (if the school within walking distance isn't available then I'm screwed cause I can't move again), but yet at the same time, I have to take care of my boxes and I don't want to ask people to make too many trips moving things back and forth. Not to mention, by the time school opens and they can accept me, I still have to go through an accessment and all that complicated stuff because I've been away for the country for so long now, and that's stressing because by that time, and the first day of school isn't too far away.
So tell me, what do you think I should do?

 

My grandmother suggested that we hire someone and pick up the boxes first before it's too late, take it back to her place (where I am currently staying during all the time since I've been back btw). And then...I'll wait till schools open and find out more information about whether or not they can take me in and once it's okay, then I can start moving to that area and start settling down...but that would also be stressing since school starts on September 2, and with the short amount of time for moving, registering, etc, etc. Also there's also a risk that the other good available rentals might be gone by then. Oh, this just hurts my head. What do you think about this idea? Help me out here, what do you suggest?
With no other opinions, I guess I would just have to go with the above option...and let's just hope and pray that it would all work, that the school and neighbourhood I had my eye on would be available by that time and that the accessment and registration won't be too complicated and troublesome and that I can still settle well in time to come. *sigh*

 

On a happier note, last week, i decided to take a trip back to the westside suburbs, Mississauga, the place where we used to live in when I was 8-9, between the middle of Grade 3 till after I finished Grade 4. We moved there after my mom married my stepdad who lives there, and we moved out of there after my brother and sister were born and we decided that there wasn't enough space so we moved to a big house on the northern suburbs, right on the edge of the countryside. It was quite an experience to be back in Mississauga seeing all the familiar places. I was feeling really nostalgic that day. I even met up with my old best friend back when I lived there, Daniel, who i haven't met face-to-face for 8 years now and haven't actually sat down and talked to for 6 years. Best thing was everything was just like the same way it was back then when we were kids, except we've grown up now, looking slightly different, with different voices even though we sound the same.  Now this is great since when you meet up with old friends, the most common scenerio is that A - you're like the same as it was back thenand you talk a lot, catch up with things and have a good time, or B - you're faced in an awkward situation with lots of pauses and silence. Now scenerio B is absolutely unwanted, so I'm glad things were this way.
