So I was trying to get something happening during this weekend. Unfortunately everyone seems to be occupied by some foodie event ("Winterlicious"). I should take a look at it next year if they ever decide to host it again.

It's crunch time ladies and gentlemen. The next two weeks will be full of mid-terms (4 to be exact and each worth 30%) as I will be at the mercy of an educational onslaught (it's early in the morning, so excuse my horrible choice of vocabulary).
Nothing much happening lately. I've spent most of my spare time doing things that usually makes me feel comfortable.

After spending more time on the road than in class today (3 hours of driving, 1 and a half hour of lecture), it would seem I would feel very annoyed and angered by all of this. But it didn't happen. It was though I had to actually "try" to feel angry about the whole situation. Maybe I'm use to all the troubles from morning rush hour.

I know I'm better than this, so this has to stop sometime soon. I gotta start treating things more evenly, as in Andy's "half empty or half full" approach. I have a feeling I'll crash and burn if this continues, and boy would it be ugly.

That's what I want to make myself believe, that the new year will bring new changes and opportunities.

So I woke up this morning, getting ready for my last day of classes. Then all of a sudden when I opened my drapes, BOOM.
Seeing the white stuff really surprised me, especially how much that came down. I knew the morning commute would be hectic, and boy was it ever. Instead of driving 115-120 on the 407, I was averaging 40-50. Instead of taking 20-25 minutes, it took an hour Bowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07560772515137006085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146662.post-1102230428875106502004-12-05T01:57:00.000-05:002004-12-05T02:07:08.876-05:00Make that......21 years now
And I still remembered my blog login! (thought they would delete me due to inactivity)
Anyways, had a blast with Floofball, Button Masher, and Henry. Thanks for coming out you guys (and gal), I appreciate it very much!
Man it has been a while....don't even recognize all the blog tools anymore. Oh well, hopefully I can gather up the will to do some blogging again.

It's hard to believe that I've reached 20 years old. I used to think that once I hit around this age, I would've stepped into the next level in human evolution (or in other words, becoming an adult). Now I'm contemplating whether I really did take a step forward, or taken a step back.

The time has come to begin the marathon. My lazy old brain has yet to start itself yet, and if I wait any longer then it'll be the end of me. Monday will be the day, the day I start getting down to business.
In other news, Christmas shopping madness has begun. Everywhere you look you see people carrying huge bags full of soon-to-be presents for loved ones and relatives.

The weather has been acting really strange lately. It seems like the weather rotates every week. Last week was moderately cool but not severely cold. This week starts out with an all-day storm (rain, wind, snow, freezing rain). My whole body is confused on whether to adapt to the cold weather now or later.

That's right, 7 months lack of blog updates has finally come to an end. Let's hope I don't get lazy again this time around.
Anyways, I'm proud to say I am through with the mid-term madness. Exams are fast approaching and I got to start buckling down if I am to avoid a disastrous finish. For those who are still caught up with mid-terms, I wish you all the best.

One more exam left, and I finally can see the clouds clearing up.
Recently I've been doing some deep thinking (hence the seclusion and my lack of posts). Having past through another pivotal time of my life, I have returned to the state where I take things as they come. I look forward into the future, yet I still dwell on past times.

Just when I thought I've reached the bottom, instead I came crashing right through it.
Nothing can describe how I'm feeling right at this moment. In fact I'm having trouble putting it into words.

The 1st day of April has come upon us, and boy did it ever made some noise.
I woke up to see a blanket of white snow over my backyard while at the same time I slapped myself silly to see if I was in another world. I was thoroughly disappointed to see low temperatures amidst a hailing snowstorm.
So I started my usual morning drive down Highway 407, watching everything zoom by. I Bowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07560772515137006085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146662.post-914254652003-03-26T13:31:00.000-05:002003-03-26T13:31:19.873-05:00Happy Birthday York!
Today marks the 44th anniversary for the University since its opening. Everyone dressed in red for the celebration which accompanied a whole lot of free food (only if you wore red). Unfortunately I was one of the ones that forgot to wear red (not sure if I even have red clothes). Still there were many celebrations around the campus where they expressed their school spiritBowenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07560772515137006085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146662.post-910191352003-03-19T17:52:00.000-05:002003-03-19T17:52:27.920-05:00So It Begins.....
In about 2 hours, the US army will start their invasion of Iraq. It saddens me to see how the Bush Administration resorts to war whenever their so called "diplomacy" fails on them. It is apparent that the outcome of this war will decide on the fate of his presidency. Hopefully this war will end quickly, but deep down inside I feel the war will be longer than predicted.

For once, the sun has finally showed up to bring this long winter to an end. It's funny to see how warm my car was after a day of my lectures (19 degrees with the sun).
However, because of the warm weather all the snow has started melting.....which causes a lot of water......which leads to my flooded basement.

So I have the whole house all to myself since my parents are on vacation. Now I have all the time in the world to do whatever I want to do......along with all the additional chores. =(

It's early Thursday morning, the pressure of mid-term exams have drawn to a close. With the bulk of my workload taken care of I can now concentrate for the next task at hand (Final Exams). Although being physically and mentally worned out, I can rest assured that this study frenzy will not surface itself for another few weeks.

The taste of victory is somewhat bittersweet. Considering that my TA is clueless in the way he teaches. His delusional way of marking (assigning .3 of a mark?) gives me a false incentive to strive for a better mark (knowing the highest mark I could possibly get is a 75...).
