Woohoo, I am now officially the center of the center of the universe. I arrived in Toronto a few days ago and had my orientation today. I hate groups of people I don't know so I hate orientations almost as much I do going shopping, but this one went about as good as could have been expected. Toronto is nice, the humidity is comforting. Ryerson ( Read more... )

Today was my last day at work. This job was really special, I was able to be myself from day one and I soon developed some really strong friendships with my co-workers. The work was meaningful, the pay was good, the hours were good, and the people were good. I can’t say enough about how positive this summer was ( Read more... )

So, tomorrow will mark three weeks since my cable Internet got shut off. I did that to primarily stop spending as much time on the computer at home, and secondly to reduce if not eliminate my viewing of Internet porn. And so tomorrow I'll have been clean for three weeks, I'm very happy about it. Viewing porn just wasn't healthy because I'm in a ( Read more... )

Fuck, apparently attending an orientation day is mandatory at Ryerson. I hate orientation things. I hate being around groups of people that I don't know. I'm good with people, but I hate that kind of situation. And orientation is full of that. And I'm sure they'll make us do elementary school games too. It'll be infinitely better that I'm not ( Read more... )

Panicy feelings are nibbling away at my white-knuckled grip on what's going on in my life. The computer ships tomorrow, I pay a thousand dollars of tuition tomorrow, and I very likely confirm I will take a room in a house in Toronto tonight or tomorrow. This place is interesting. ~650 sq feet. Private bedroom and kitchen. Shared bathroom with ( Read more... )

Well, hello Livejournal. Here's what I've been doing the last week ( Read more... )

My Telus Internet was cut off on Monday, so I'm down to 15 min dialup a day. Then this morning my dialup stopped working. The first time I was able to check my emails this morning was at work, which hasn't been the case...ever? It is an odd feeling. My computer has almost sold, so that continues on. There's really only about a month left here.

You know, I've read a lot of freaky shit over the years on the Net. And just I see some guy has an LJ icon of some guy exploding someone else's head, from a movie I guess I hope. Manohmanohman. Anyhoo, my Internet gets cut off today. Probably out when I get home. Then I only get 15 minutes (of fame) a day. I'm sobering up to this Toronto idea ( Read more... )

I was rejected from UBC for Food & Nutrition, but accepted into General Science if I want it. Were I continuing this aimless walk that would be good news. But I'm not, so it isn't. I'll have to go to Toronto. It's a undeniable disappointment to be sure. I will wrestle with it for a while but then I'll be back and working on a better outlook. ( Read more... )
