Well, I suppose it's about time i got to posting an entry and keep everyone up to speed on the events that are my life.

Things with Ania continue to go incredibly well. It's a very nice feeling waking up everyday and knowing that she's there for me, I'll say it time and time again but she's without question the best thing to ever happen to me. I've thoroughly enjoyed having someone to spend the holidays with for a change. I love her so much I can't even put it into words.

What I can put into words though, is the infection I'm currently fighting off. OWWW IT FUCKING HURTS. I seem to have contracted some kind of throat infection last week, and I'm currently running through my second set of different antibiotics but there's still no change, it still fucking hurts (and the pain is spreading to my jaw and ear as well), if it doesn't improve, I'm wondering if there's a tonsillectomy in my future. I hope not, because one surgery in my lifetime was enough for me, I don't want a second.

My job continues to go well, I'm really liking Cora's, and it's a very fun experience going into work everyday. I got a secondary job, but that lasted one day. I was doing midnight stocking at Best Buy, they told me in the interview that midnight shifts run from 10pm to 6am, which is perfect for the buses, but after i start working my first shift, they tell me at 1 am that most midnight shifts only run till 2 am. So, if I chose to stay there, I'll be stuck out near the city edge with no way home in the middle of winter. And they can't guarantee which shifts run until 6 am, so I'm screwed if I kept that job. So, I quit it after only 1 shift because I really didn't have much choice.

Gaming continues to take precedence over Anime (they usually go in 6 month cycles for me, but it's now been about 15 months for gaming), I haven't been playing my Wii as much, but my 360, DS and new PSP have been going well. I'm looking forward to christmas when I should be getting Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4.

School is just about wrapping up, I finished my 5th semester, I got a B in every class (Project Management, Cultural Anthropology, XML, Network Security II, Network Design and Analysis) and I start my 6th and final semester in January. We have to do a technical project where we spend a semester working with, analyzing and designing a new network for a location, my group will be working with the city hall for Lakeshore (the next town over). At least we'll be near the Dairy Queen when we have to go out there. Ontop of the project I have another general elective, Linux Server Administration, Network Administration II and Protocol Analysis.

When school finishes in April, I'm then faced with the task of finding a job in the networking field. That's brings me to the most likely scenario I'm facing this summer, and that's leaving Windsor. I'm getting my G2 in May, and my dad has agreed to co-sign a loan for me to help get me a car, and Ania has agreed to leave Windsor with me when the time comes. I'm going to look in Windsor for a job of course, and try and save money for a bit, but I just don't see it as likely.

Also, because of this, I just don't see A-kon happening for me next year. It's in May, which would be the same time I would likely be leaving the city, and with the bad dollar and raising of airfares, it would now cost me about $850 between airfare, hotel and travel expenditures (not including spending money), that's what the last 2 trips have cost me with spending money included, and I could certainly use that money if I'm leaving the city. I want to go, but as it stands it's just incredibly impractical for me to go. I'm looking into going to Anime North in Toronto, but that may even be unlikely for me.

Well, I'm going to go take another anti-biotic and read some more Watchmen before going to bed, work tommorow morning.

Also: Merry Christmas everyone
