Internet in my room
So I just got the internet in my dorm room... on my little Canadian laptop... and I am pretty psyched. Now I can leave on my msn and get messages from home (hint hint nudge nudge wink wink).
Things at the village are going really well and I am quite enjoying myself. I have made some pretty good friends and we are getting along famously.
Since the dress code here is changing (to a more formal attire) on Monday I am going to have a couple of suits made at the tailor. The tailor made several of Paula (friend from Australia)'s suits... and well I am impressed with their work... that and the tailor is reasonably priced. I am actually having a charcoil grey coat made right now.
I have been thinking more and more about my standing here... and well.. how things here feel like home. It is so odd to feel at home here. I mean sure I miss my parents and sister... but I think that I have finally found a job that suits both me and my personality famously... and well.... I can help but repeat myself in saying that it just feels like home. I really think that if things continue the way that they are going now... I may sign on for at least another year. Since this is a pretty new and developing program... the opportunities for advancement are pretty high and imput is always welcomed to help improve the program. Well I refuse to count my chickens before they hatch... but I can see myself here for a while.
Oh well.... my parents will just have to journey to my side of the world for a vacation (hint hint nudge nudge wink wink).
Anyhoo... things are coming along famously. I get paid on Monday... so I will go back to the tailor and pick up the cashmere (sp) coat I had made (not too expensive) and get fitted for a couple of new suits. Then money goes home to pay off the student loan (almost debt free there) and the credit cards. I think that if all goes according to plan, I will have paid off all of my Canadian responsabilities by January... and from then on my paychecks will be bank. I am thinking of getting then... and only then... a new laptop (I have had my eye on the MacIntosh IBooks)... but who knows.
Anyways... that is what is basically new with me. Hope all is good on your neck of the woods.
Cheers!
