I'm getting back $2500. My choices are:

1) Save it and live on it till I get a job (hopefully soon), then worry after that
2) Pay to have my Wisdom teeth removed, if I don't have a job by June

I'm sure it'll be one of those.

Go with option one.  I'd recommend finding a job that has medical benefits so they can help cover the cost of getting your wisdom teeth pulled.

About 10 years ago, the Canadian dollar was the butt of most American jokes, because USD$1 was about CAD$0.56.  Your dollar was worth nearly twice what ours was worth.  However, in the last 8 years or so, the Canadian dollar has risen in value significantly, to the pont where USD$1 is ~CAD$0.88. 

So yes, your dollar is worth ours, but not by nearly as much as it used to.

Well, I have to get them out ASAP, so I don't have a chance to be picky.  I just have to hope that I can find a job with medical benefits.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Number 1 is the responsible thing to do. I would probably do 4 though.

Could a person really do that? I'm not sure what to do when tax time comes around, I'm going to have to read up on it.

Invest part of it + buy my a Motorola SLVR

If you're not in it for Music or Upgradeable Memory get the SLVR L6 It's about $100 cheaper

The only thing the L7 has over it is a built in Media Player and Changeable Memory
The L6 comes with 10MB of shared memory (Still can play music but like..1-2 songs)

That's it, same size, same camera (wow, what a rip), same general features.

That's lame. My Motorola V360 came with 64MB of memory and some crazy features, all for a very low price with contract signing. SLVR sucks =/
