Summer is here?

So, Summer has arrived, school is out and I have all the free time in the world.....actually, I really don't. I thought that by this time I would have tons of time on my hands, I was wrong.

So, as a final goal before I graduate, I've decided to build my own desktop computer. I've already bought the case (which costed me 105$ + tax) and a power supply (95$ + tax). Next thing I'll be keeping an eye out for will be the motherboard. The case itself is pretty nice, it's the black "Hush" by NZXT.

This summer, my main goals will be learning PHP, Perl, continuing along with C++ and to complete the Perm Program mission on HTS that requires me to create a 'simple' IRC bot (which I'll probably create in Perl).

I was planning on going to UVic or University of Waterloo for a Bachelors in Computer Science, but I might head off to the Center for Arts and Technology as a Network Security Specialist...still haven't decided what to do but I'm keeping my mind open for any other areas (preferably in Canada) that deals with IT/Computer/Network Security....My plan is to join a Security Auditing company that deals with Penetration testing. Any suggestions on a path to achieve that goal?
