Fellowship!!!

Wow! I just received an email from the Graduate Studies advisor in Victoria. Apparently, I have received a fellowship for the next year! This is awesome, since I can now cancel my student loan for the coming year! I'm pretty excited, since being in debt to the government was not one of my most favorite things ever. I'm not too sure on any details yet, as I've only heard via email, and the paperwork is probably on my kitchen table in Victoria. However, I'll post stuff up when I find out more. I'll also be doing more TA work this coming year, which means I should be able to walk away with more savings (I hope...). More to come on this event, I'm sure...

In other news, I have 3 more work days left at my career in Canadian Tire. Can't say that I'm too upset by this revelation, since I could have easily quit any time in the last two weeks, and not cared. I'm the last of the originals in that store that hasn't been moved up to a management position, although they treat my like I am. All in all, a good place to work, but I think I've grown too old, or perhaps too comfortable, with that environment now. Nothing new to learn, unless I want to dedicate the next few years of my life to the store as a part of the management team. At least I can basically function as a handyman for most household things, plus change a tire and operate a skate sharpening machine. Oh yeah, and I got to keep a cool green gardening apron for when I work with my bonsai trees!
