First day

Well, I thought Thursday was going to be my first day of classes, but as both of the classes I have scheduled for Thursday are lab/tutorial components, I had no classes on Thursday and so I officially started today at 0910h.
Most of my lectures weren't actual lectures today, but rather, going over the syllabus for the course and explaining three time over what labs/tutorials were all about and four times over about academic integrity and yada yada yada not that the stuff isn't important, but I could have gone over all those things on my own, outside of class time.
Anyway, I finished lectures about a half hour earlier than scheduled due to it being the first day of lectures and so instead of finishing at 2030h, I finished at 2000h and my dad picked me up earlier, so we got home earlier.
Tomorrow morning at 0800h we have prayer meeting at church, then I have to sort things out at the bank and then, I have to go clean at 1000h.

Jehovah Jireh

Well, I'm getting settled back into Canadian life.  I've got allergies in full force and sometimes wish I could just pull my sinuses out and never have to worry about them again.  Unfortunately, that wouldn't be too beneficial or easy to do.
On Tuesday, September 2, the public school started the year here in Canada and I went down to Oshawa with my dad to pick up the laptop you have to rent from the university I am attending.  I got the laptop with no problems and then went off to my friend's house so I wasn't wandering aimlessly around the campus all day.
Last week sometime I got informed that there was an elderly lady in my church who was looking for somebody to clean her condo for her, but it turned out that she got someone else before I got my name in.  I thought nothing more of it, but when I got home last night, there was a message for me on the answering machine.  I didn't know who it was, other than the name I had been given.  I called her after consulting another friend who cleans houses on a regular basis to see what rates she would suggest.  I set up a meeting with her for this morning and went to see what the house looked like and what they would expect me to do.  I now have a job cleaning their house on Saturday mornings.  The weirdest thing about it is that the person who recommended me didn't even know I was thinking about cleaning houses to earn money.
God provides in the most mysterious ways.
