*sigh* That is all very good advice, and parts of it are comforting. The prospect of being away scares me still though. And I will cry too. Lots. I guess there's no harm in finding out more details, and such. I really don't know anything yet, only a few vague words from an email suggesting something like this. I might just be jumping to conclusions anyway. Right? I can always cling to that for now, anyway....
I actually looked at maps and addresses: I didn't realize that my distant cousin is not on the main UBC campus. Kelowna, where she is, is approximately 290km from Vancouver, and hence not a reasonable distance to expect to traverse with any frequency. To compare, Kitchener to St. Thomas is about 90km. So I wouldn't be able to train in anybody's dojo while I was there, except possibly on special occasions. At the same time everybody is of the fairly consistent opinion that I should at least look into it, if not jump at the opportunity. So I think I'll look into it: I'll get details on what I'm looking at. And I'll see what happens from there. And of course, I will report everything here. Obviously :)
I say go. You have little to lose and much to gain from it. You'll have to grow up eventually for one thing... *shrugs* That's life. And the other point is that you are very fortunate to even get the chance. Hell! If you don't want to go, I will. ;) Take the chance while it's being offered to you. Who knows when the next time will be? I know that if I refused once, my chances in the future would be nill.
Side note: I've been actively avoiding LJ for some unfathomable reason, so I don't know how long you've had your new layout, but I like it very muchly

Wow Lauren, sounds amazing. The work itself too, I can appreciate the outrageously cool part of something so apparently dorky. You don't need me to tell you that some people would kill for an opportunity like this, and I say go. Haha, I should relaly stop telling my friends to leave town for the summer, but really, I think you can do it. And there's nothing wrong with crying.
