So, here I am, sitting in my cushy new job for the government. I really have to be honest, this is so much better than working at the video store. I do have to get up earlier than I would if I was still at the video store, but it's worth it. Better pay, better working conditions, no evening or weekends anymore. I love it! And I hope that since I now have a fine as computer all to myself, which I will be spending the day on at least twice a week, I will finally be able to keep up my end of the bargain and keep the blog more up to date.

My back's been killing me lately, I don't know what it is. My parents finally convinced me to see a doctor about it, but all he did was poke my back, asked me where it hurt and told me to go find a chiropractor. Nice huh? Barely helped, and he acted like I wasted his time. Way to go Canadian health care system.

School is going relatively okay in light of everything that's happened lately. I failed three of my five classes last semester, I did fail philosophy (under questionable circumtances I might add) so I am facing another "mandatory withdrawl" at the end of this semester. Not good. I met with an academic advisor and we formulated a plan. I'm challenging the philosophy mark, I think that I should have gotten at least a pass on my exam.

I can't believe how tired I am, and I don't think I've worked as hard today as I've ever worked in my two previous jobs as a donut shop girl and a video store clerk. A couple of people have mentioned that they may be heading out after work for beer - I hope I'm invited. I don't like to assume things like that - I'm afraid it makes me seem pushy. We shall see.

I think that's all for now, I'll be back here on Wednesday at the latest - so I'll post then. I'm not even sure if anyone besides J.J. even reads this poor lonely blog anymore. Here's hoping...
