If you live near to a university, email the maths department and ask if they have any outreach programs or any staff members who are willing to talk to prospective students. I can (almost) guarantee you that you'll get a good response and that you'll have a chance to talk to somebody who's doing a job that you may one day like to have. Mathematicians and physicists are really receptive to people who show an interest in the field so try to get in contact with someone.
That should be very interesting. The few moments I've had with mathematicians were the highlights of 2006! For now it won't be possible, becuase the university of toronto's math department contact page is inaccesbile.

check for yourself.
i have however contacted aephraim steinberg from the physics department who said that if i show up when classes start I can attend lectures. Of course I'd rather learn my math from actual math sources. I don't want to limit my math exposure to physics sources as that would limit my contributions to both fields.
