Time for an Update

Well, I started my new job this past Monday, and so far I like it. I didn't do much on my first day, just read. But today, I actually got to do something rather than twiddling my thumbs. I can't wait till I can work full-time.

It seems that at the moment I'm pulling myself in five different directions between all my jobs (right now, I have four of them), full-time school, and a fiancee (which is the best part of it all). Soon, one of the jobs will have to go and it is the one I actually enjoy doing, working at the observatory. But I physically can't keep up with everything right now, and it's just the best thing for me to do. Soon, I'll be done with school, and can actually work normal hours, having the weekends off to relax.

It looks like Alia might get a new job soon, too. That means that she (and in reality, we) will have to get a new place. I think we'll just rent a place and I can leisurely move in from my current place. My lease for here runs out in May.

That's all that is happening right now, so I'm going to go. Things are looking up, as I'm ready to go lie down.

Greatest Weekend Ever! (so far)

This weekend turned out to be one of the best weekends of my life. I took Alia to meet Mom and Dad and others of the family (Maggie, Joanne, Tom and their families) as well as Aunt Dorothy. Then, as we were driving back from the airport yesterday, I decided to make it official. Official in that we would be engaged. So I asked her and she said yes. Now, I can refer to her as my fiancee. :-)


Then, this afternoon, I got a letter from a company I interviewed with last week and they offered me a job. So in the span of less than a day, I got engaged and I got a job. I think I'm playing the lottery.
Here is a picture of her ring.

I can now practice engineering...

Well, as soon as I graduate. But I just got back my FE report and it says that I have passed the exam. It's a good thing.
