Things are going pretty good right now.  I got the job at the casino I applied for and the government has now approved my licence so I now have the green light to start working as security there.  Also, I'm still working as a security guard for another company.  The only problem is that both jobs are on-call so I can't really rely on steady hours but, so far, they've been good and I've been getting full time or close to full time.  This is good because I need to try to save as much money as possible for tuition for university this fall.

I'm suffering from a bit of a sunburn right now.  Today I worked a shift as a security guard at the university campus (actually the same university I will be attending this fall) and it was a nice sunny day so I ended up getting a sunburn.  I burn very easily because I have such pale skin.  Once I joked that if I fell into a snowbank in winter I might never be found.  Basically I'm as pale as you can be without being albino.  Well, except for my freckles.  Tomorrow I'll have to see if the boss can lend me a cap or something.

In an effort to get in better shape I've been walking on a daily basis.  There's a 4 km loop I take.  Actually sometimes I extend it to 6 or 7 kms if I feel particularly energetic.  Right now I'm just walking it but I'm planning on starting to jog parts of it and, hopefully, eventually I will be able to jog the entire 4kms.  I think it is paying off because I seem to have lost some weight.  My waist size has shrunk by 1 inch and I'm now at 203 lbs.  I'm not entirely sure but I think I was roughly 10 lbs heavier than that a month or so ago.  Just need to keep to the program.  I've started exercising before and given up on it when my willpower waned.  However, knowin that I need to be fit for university this fall will hopefully keep me motivated through the summer.

Oh, one more thing.  My mp3 player is ticking me off.  I have a Sony Walkman mp3 player that I bought back in January and it worked just fine... until Sony decided to shut down their online store where I bought my songs.  Now I've been looking for another place to buy songs but all the places I tried .. well their songs don't transfer to my mp3 player.  Itunes doesn't work because its songs only play on Ipods (I should've known that but I'm not too technologically savy).  Yahoo and MSN's sites didn't work for me either because, apparently, this Walkman won't play songs that have DRM which seems to be pretty much everybody.... so, I'm rather frustrated.  I'm wondering if I am going to have to get a whole new mp3 player now.
