Kevin struggling

I took this photo while Ryan was holding down kevin for some reason. Kevin always seems to get in fights at my house. It is very funny seeing him fight people.

Another great weekend at home. Friday we went to Boston Pizza for dinner and had a very over priced dinner. We got some pizza with beef on it, I assumed the beef would be chunks so I didn't bother objecting. When we got it, the beef was tiny! It was quite a struggle to get it all off.After dinner a bunch of people came over and we sat around and talked, and played some video games. A few people were wrestling in my basement. The wrestling was quite funny to watch. Jimmy destroyed Justin. After everyone left Joanna and I stayed up and watched lost. It was funny seeing her get scared at the smallest things. We stopped watching at around 4:00 a.m.

The next day I had to attend Conroy's funeral. Kings came over at around 8:00. It was pretty funny because I wake up to someone ringing the doorbell and say to myself "Damn it!". After quickly putting on some clothes Kings and I headed out. The funeral service was quite interesting. I expected it to be just a quiet viewing. However people in conroy's family went up and said some things about him. We all sang a few hymns. Even Ms. Crabtree, a teacher at Albert Campbell, said a few things about conroy. It was nice to hear these little stories and tid bits about conroy. It was also interesting to see how many students actually came to the viewing. I saw at least 50+ students. I was pretty shocked and angry at what some of the were wearing. Some people were wearing everyday clothing. One kid was wearing a white suit.

After the funeral service andrew drove me and edward to get some wendy's then drove us home. When we got back Jo had already left and dano was sitting and watching my house. Most of the day is a big blur, but the night was quite fun. We got dinner with Kevin, courey, kings, Justin and redford. It was a very funny dinner.After dinner we went back to my place and played some video games and talked.

Sunday was mainly just helping ryan put stuff together at his condo. His condo is very nice. His TV is also very very nice.

Today I had my comp sci midterm. It wasn't too bad. I am a little scared though, some of the simplest questions were worth ridiculous amounts of marks, so who knows.

Chug Chug Chug

I took this photo of Amy when people went over to her and Jo's place to do a bit of drinking. Its always funny to see them drink. I think that day we tricked Joanna into thinking simon was super drunk. Very funny indeed.

My net was down for a day and a bit which is why this post is a little delayed. Nothing has happened this week. I am at day 5 of my daily salad routine. Its quite a challenge for two reasons. One, the salads aren't that great. Two, the salads are crazy expensive. We don't have any veggies in our suite so I can't really make a salad, so I have been just going to random places and buying salads. The coffee place in front of my suite has some pretty good salads, so I usually go there.

School has been pretty tiring. I had to do this lab for calculus and needed to use this mathematical software called Maple to do some graphing and some simple calculations. Only problem was the program was giving me some problems. I couldn't make a loop in it. After struggling for an hour trying to figure out the problem I gave up and did the loop in Java, and handed in the Maple assignment And my java code. Hopefully I will get some marks, or at least a comment saying what I did wrong.

After finishing my lab around 12:00ish I went over to Joannas and me, her and Nelson watched some lost. Even though I have seen those episodes so many times it is still great. After 2 episodes I went back home and went to sleep.

Today was a pretty good day. I got back my algeo midterm and assignment. I go 85% on both, which I guess is good, but still doesn't make up for my bad mark on my other assignments. Even after those two 85%'s I am probably still sitting at a 78-80, which is not that great considering I am majoring in math. Hopefully I did really well on my Calc midterm to bring my average up.

Finally the weekend. Its always nice to go back home. Hopefully something interesting will happen this weekend.

Bubble Bobble

This is a photo of Joanna playing Bubble bobble on my psp. I took this photo while in her and Amy's suite. Joanna seems to love Bubble bobble. She kept making me write down all the passwords to go back to the stage she was last at. I wonder if she will kill me for posting another photo of her?

Another very dull day. My evil lecture was pretty interesting. We watched a very cool movie about the vietnam war and cold war. It was very surprising hearing what the presidents had to say about how to deal with the Cuba and the soviety union. It was very strange. Some people thought the Soviet unions were testing nuclear weapons behind the moon. I found that quite funny.

Computer science was boring as always. I learned a few new small pieces of information, but as a whole it was still very much review.

After comp sci I went to SLC (Student life centre) to get a salad. My new resolve is to eat a salad everyday. After I have comfortably incorporated vegetables in my diet I will work on a way to lower the amount of fatty foods I eat. This is going to be a very hard couple of week.

There was a dvd sale at the SLC, so I bought Seinfeld season 4. The dvds were super cheap, and all real. My seinfeld dvd was $40 flat. At futureshop it was being sold online for 50+tax. A lot of good dvds were on sale, I was going to buy flintstones but I realized I would never get around to buying the rest of the seasons so I just got Seinfeld.

Now I must finish my algebra homework. My math assignments are crazy. Algebra the questions are hard, and for calculus they mark like nazi's. I can't escape!

Edward and Jimmay

Another black and white photo. This was taken when we were all sitting in my brothers room just talking. Edward probably got bored and started playing virtual tennis. And jimmy being a bum, probably sat next to edward to bother him.

This weekend was quite a fun weekend. Friday we got dinner at this place daniels dad told him to go to. It was okay, not enough food though. Afterwards we went back to my house and watched American Psycho. The movie was quite twisted but also pretty good. And as always we ended the night by talking till 3 or 4 in the morning.

Saturday was pretty much the same. We went to markville because we were pretty bored, I bought the lost dvd and got some popeyes as we left. When we got back to my house we just ate, then sat around and waited for kingsley to so we could go see Wallace and gromit. When kingsley got here we waited another few minutes for Kevin then left for Famous players.

Wallace and gromit was a decent movie. I think the old cartoons were better though. The movie seemed too long, but it still had a good feel about it. A lot of the small gestures gromit has I found very amusing. Hopefully they will release a big boxset of all the old cartoons and the movie.

After the movie we went back to my house and once again talked for quite a long time. About what I am not quite sure.

Sunday was a much quieter day. Everyone seemed to be doing work. I went and saw cheryl around noontime and just talked with her for a bit. After that I headed home and Ryan and Vanessa came by. We all talked about all sorts of random stuff then ryan dropped me off at Mccowan station so I could take the bus back to waterloo.

Now I must prepare for my calculus midterm tonight. Hopefully I don't get raped.

Kevin telling a story

I can't exactly remember what Kevin was talking about but I am sure it was very interesting. I have a photo of daniel that looks very similar to this one.

Today I had my first job interview. I am not sure if it went well. I think it went by okay, but nothing great though. I am pretty bad at presenting myself. Hopefully I will get more interviews though, as it stands that was my only interview.

After the interview I went home and made some food. Then rushed to the SLC to try and get a fed bus ticket home but the stupid feds office closes at 4:30. I got there at 4:45. In despair I got some cookies then went to the math building and sat down and played some Lumines till my next lecture.

Eastern religions was a very dull lecture as always. The movie we saw had barely anything to do with janism. And I must say, janism is a very crazy religion. The followers go to quite the extremes.

After my lecture I headed over to willie's and talked for a bit, then helped her put stars on her ceiling. It was pretty fun. I hadn't seen willie in a while. Willie and her roommate cindy are both crazy. They turned their desks around so it would face the door and call themselves secretaries. Now it is crazy hard to get to the table without tipping something over. After talking for a while, willie took me to V1 and got me a godly wrap. It was quite godly, I feel like going back and getting another one. Thank you Willie

Life is a fragile thing. May you find peace Conroy

Cheryl and Edwin

I took this photo of cheryl and Edwin a long time ago. Now that I think about it, I have only seen edwin once or twice since I got to waterloo.

Yesterday was quite a fun day. Even though I didn't really do anything it was nice to sit back and relax. With all my free time I decided to go to the grocery store near my building. It turns out the grocery store was actually quite far. It was about a half hour walk. When I got there I just picked up some small items then headed back. I was quite tired by the end of the day.

Today was pretty dull. Just some normal lectures, an easy lab, and now the problem of figuring out what to eat for dinner.

And Happy Birthday Cheryl

Kevin Dang sitting

No idea when I took this photo of kevin. It is one of the few photos I have of kevin that are clear. Usually he does sudden movements to try to mess up the photo.

Now that most of my midterms are over I finally have some free time to blog again. My algeo midterm yesterday wasn't s bad as I thought it would be. I think I did fairly well, only time will tell though. I didn't get one of the proofs though. Damn proofs!. For evil, my essay was pretty sad, but I did manage to finish it and thats what matters. Amy edited it for me so that will help my mark somewhat.

Nothing has happened today. People are studying for midterms so it is most likely going to be a dull day. Time to catch up on reading and sleep.
