My life

So, I've decided to come out of hiding for a few minutes and post something on here. I've been pretty busy lately with classes, homework and all the rest of it that comes with being back in school. I'm playing volleyball once again this term and so far we have won our first two matches in two games straight. Other than that I'm doing exciting stuff like calculating the Nernst Potential in an electrolytic solution and other such interesting calculations. Don't you wish you were an engineer? Of course I also have to start looking for work for the summer term so if you have an leads you know where to send them. Well its time to get back to the books so I can finish up my assignment and go snowboarding this afternoon!!!

Snow!

Its been snowing here all week. Who wants to go snowboarding?!?

Random stuff about me.

ok I've been tagged so I'll do this.

6 random facts about me:

1) I have 7 brothers and only 1 sister

2) I don't like chocolate

3) I average 3 hours and 45 minutes a month talking on my cell phone

4) My front two teeth are mainly fake

5) I pay $17 an hour for the classes I take at school (Approximately)

6) I am very mad at my school right now because in spite of the (large amounts) of perfectly good money I fork over to them every semester they can't do simple things like keep the jobmine website up and running.

Let's do some brick work!

For the first time engineering students at Waterloo actually get a reading week! in the past we have only gotten 2 days off while the rest of the school had a whole but that has finally been changed. So this led me to ask myself "self what are you going to do with you week off?" and it hit me: Go down to South Carolina and do some volunteer work for Greenville Presbyterian Seminary of course! They acquired an old school building a little while back that is currently being renovated so that the campus will be able to move there since the current building has rather limited capacity. However, this building needs a lot of work before it is ready to be used and that, my friend, is where you and I come in. Right now the building needs to have some brick-work done. The grouting on the bricks is not very good and needs to be replaced so I'm putting together a group of volunteers to go down there and help out with that. It will be a great help for the seminary as well as a good experience, plus its going down to South Carolina in February...Bonus! My reading week is from February 17-24 and so I hope to travel down for those dates and help out. Oh and it gets better: You too can have this incredible experience, just let me know you are interested and I'll get you all the details.

...back to class

New Years Etc

Well it is now 2007. The year has started off well with the traditional youth events in St. Thomas, and hopefully it will only continue to improve. We had Arthur Voaden Gym again this year and had some sweet volleyball going on and then we had the skating in Port Stanley again this year. I would also like to let you all know that it was at skating in Port Stanley 25 years that my mom and dad first met. If it wasn't for this great tradition I might not be writing this today. I wonder if anyone will be saying the same thing about this year 25 years down the road. Someone should figure out how many couples have gotten things rolling at St. Thomas new years activities. Or maybe I'll just think about all the fun us non-couples had. Shoot I even made $2 ;)

It was a fun time indeed. Ushering in the new year with a bang and not enough sleep and then getting sick as a reward. Oh well, I'm back in school now trying to get myself back into 'study mode.' Its tough to do but it feels good to be back in the old apartment again. Well I have class bright and early tomorrow (1:30pm :-P don't you just love first week?) so I'm heading off to bed. Have a blessed week!
