I'm not saying this will DEFINITELY happen, cuz I know it's A LOT of money and stuff. But this is what I would like to do next summer, and hopefully I can work it out and end up doin it, cuz it would be really really great, but we'll see, just means I'll have to work more.
So, my cousin is getting married in Michigan next July, not sure of the date yet but sometime around then, and we're all going over for that anyways, and then my mum was talking about going on to Niagara Falls and staying there for a few days or a week, whatever. So I was thinking, since I have cousins in America, I'd maybe go stay with them for a week or two weeks before the wedding, then go from Boston to Michigan (by plane or bus or something depending on the distance). Then after Niagara Falls, because my cousins over from Canada at the minute, I'd like to maybe go on to Calgary and stay with those relatives for a week or two weeks as well. And I KNOW that's gonna cost loads like, flights and spending money and visas and all that crap. So maybe it's just a wee dream, but I think maybe if I work as much as possible, without it interfering with whatever else it is I end up doing next year, so I can get as good results possible there as well. I just think it would be such an amazing experience. And I wanted to try and travel a good bit, mostly in America, next summer anyways, so why not hit Canada as well! I worked out earlier if I put away £100 of my pay every month I'd have a thousand pounds by the time I wana go, though the flights will cut into a big chunk of that, but sure...actually im gona work out somethin...right, I'll be earnin around £400 a month when I start my new hours in a few weeks, so If I put away half of that every month, that's two thousand...like, straight away, don't even touch it, just into a savings account or something, then around holidays I can be doin loadsa overtime, which will maybe get me up to 500 or 600 if I'm lucky a month, which is extra money straight in the account, then theres my students loan, which instead of spendin on shit I don't need I'll stick a wack of that in the account, obviously not all though:P...that's a good bita money right there...I know that like it'll be hard to not spend the money, especially on goin out or on clothes and stuff, but....Okay, just checked it out, I can get a one way flight from Dublin to Boston with American Airlines for around £250 next July, and I've checked the distance from Boston to Michigan and it's about 12 hours, so I'm sure there would be some sort of bus company or a train or SOMETHING I could get to there, my parents will be sorting out from there to Niagara Falls, so all I need to sort is from there to Calgary..well, it's over a day by driving so I'll need to get a plane...Okay, a flight will cost me about 300 dollars...not too bad like cuz u get more dollars for pounds I THINK...then my flight home...The flight home seems to be pretty expensive, the cheapest I've seen is around 700 Canadian dollars...which I duno how that works out at the exchange rate...but even then it's two stops, one of which is in Newark JFK airport which I've vowed to NEVER go to again, cuz the two times I've went through there I've had to wait for hours on delays, and it's so busy and scary...but I'll maybe just speak to Chris about that and ask how he got here...but yeah, I reckon if I can get all that sorted asap all I need to worry about is spending money....and as I've said I know it's really like...an unrealistic way of thinking, but maybe if I work at it it'll happen. Duno what I'll do about work though, cuz that works out at roughly about 6 weeks, and we only get 4 weeks paid holiday, unless I can take my 4 weeks and get people to cover 2 of the weeks...mmm..I duno, if I don't get into uni maybe I'll just do repeats for english and maybeee sociology to get them up to A's...if I get that done by January I can spend the rest of the time workin full time in tesco(although it's already soul destroying the amount I'm working)..and work every single Sunday...even the shit 4-8 shift that NOBODY does on a Sunday...I'll even get check out trained and I can work from like...9-2/3 on checkouts..then start my 4-10 shift that evening..then all day Saturday and Sunday..though that's provided I do well enough in January repeats to do that, cuz if I end up havin to do repeats I wana at least work as hard as I can at them to do well enough to go to uni next year, but we'll see about that when I find out anyway.
Realise that's all a bit long and boring, and hasn't really any paragraphs even to break it up...but I was thinkin about it all night in work so wanted to write it down=).
