Had my knee checked out during physio today. Good news I think because out of all the tests that were done, only two or three actually hurt, not like before, when as soon as you touch my knee I'd scream. My PT cleared her schedule next week so that we could continue our sessions. (and Gord you said she would be mean...heh) I also found out I wasn't wearing my brace properly....it was too low on my leg....that would explain how my knee felt shockwaves when I tried to shovel the snow yesterday...heh!

I can't believe it's still snowing! I really hope that's the last snowstorm we'll get before summer. I love snow and all, but before Christmas please....because it's almost bloody April now! Sigh....springtime....when young men's thoughts turn to love (yet I bashed it so much a few days ago)...yeah, this is also the one time I'm probably bitter I don't have a girlfriend with my knee and all...someone to walk me around campus so I don't look like such a poor sap walking alone between classes and someone to take care of me...heh...

As usual I'm lazy, so I just dumped all the pics from both NBTC 2002 and CUTC 2002 into the Junk Yard. I'll edit them soon enough. Maybe one day I can finally change this blurb and post the pics up somewhere, or at least move the link into the gallery. =)

Until next time, ciao.

"Nope."

"Whaaaat....that's not the JCool I know! I don't believe you."

And it's made me realize even though my actions still speak the same words, my intentions and the way I see things have changed since my high school days. Whenever I did things for girls back then, it was to get attention. Well, it worked, for the most part. But nowadays whenever I do things, I do it out of manners, politeness, wanting to help out, or just being nice. I still do the same actions, but I have no "ulterior motive" anymore.

Although that's what I say, unfortunately some don't view it the same way. I was really offended by a friend's recent request for me to do her a big favor. I felt that it was a request that she, or any other woman, would only make to her boyfriend, or someone she knows she can manipulate because he likes her. Obviously since I'm not her boyfriend, I was really surprised to hear her make this request of me. While it's true I maybe jumping to conclusions, after laying out the situation to some friends they all agreed that it was unreasonable unless I actually liked her romantically. That forced me to think, what could have possessed her to even think this way of me? Everything I have done with her are things that I do with everybody else, and actually, I'm not even close friends with her - I barely even talk to her much. So since I'm not even close, the only conclusion I have is that she is either actually arrogant or she's a spoiled little princess, and unfortunately, my outlook on her has completely changed and I've lost a lot of respect for her.

So to address the rumor that somehow floated from Waterloo to UT Scarborough all the way to UWO, no, the rumor is not true. I have absolutely no idea how it started, but I'm glad no names were actually mentioned or there's gonna be hell to pay. =)

On a lighter note, I'd like to congratulate people I know who are getting baptized this Sunday: Denise, Frank, and my star 17-year-old cousin, Ken! Congrats kiddo, welcome to the family.

Until next time, don't wait until that last minute to start studying for finals!

Walking around on campus all day with a crutch has been quite an experience. It's humbling for one thing, since everybody stares at you like you're some degenerate. Well maybe me more than others since I don't have the brace yet (it's custom fit in the states so it takes some time) so I look pretty normal since torn ligaments don't have casts the way broken bones do. But having a crutch at least will give you an excuse to walk around with a limp. My knee's still really weak so I can only walk so far without the crutch.

But the most humbling thing of all is, when you're a gimp like me, everybody in the world walks faster than you...even old geezers with canes walk faster. Knowing that you're holding everyone up behind you when you walk in a narrow lane...sigh...

On the other hand, walking this slow really makes me stop and and smell the roses...I get a chance to slowly soak in UT's ambience...and I get the chance of running into friends I haven't seen in a long time since I run into far less people when I walk as fast as I usually do.

As usual I'm lazy, so I just dumped all the pics from both NBTC 2002 and CUTC 2002 into the Junk Yard. I'll edit them soon enough. This Friday, the first-ever TUBS will happen at the Hart House. There's a $5 fee. Even though I have nothing to do with biotech, maybe I'll drop by...hope to see you there!

Until next time, I better finish studying for that last midterm instead of updating again.

As usual I'm lazy, so I just dumped all the pics from both NBTC 2002 and CUTC 2002 into the Junk Yard. I'll edit them soon enough. On the other hand, the first-ever TUBS seems to be getting into full gear. Even though I have nothing to do with biotech, maybe I'll drop by...hope to see you there!

Until next time, kick my ass if you don't see me studying.

I took eMode's Ultimate IQ Test. I'm not going to post my score...not to brag or anything tho, I did place within the top 5% of the world =) According to my IQ profile, I'm a Visionary Philosopher - "The first thing we can tell you about that is you're equally good at mathematical and verbal tasks, and learn best through experience. But that's just scratching the surface." Damn straight that's just scratching the surface! If I want to know more I have to pay $14.95!

On a lighter note...I'M GOING TO HONG KONG! Yup, I'm spending my summer in HK studying International Management at Hong Kong University. It's a great program, complete with trips to Macau and everything. After the course is finished I'll be staying there to work as well. It'll also be the first time that I'm REALLY on my own; no parents, just me, myself and my res. Then again, Amy and probably Eric and Denise are joining me there so I won't have a shortage of chefs...hahaha...I can't wait! My summer's gonna be soooo much fun!! =)

Songs of the moment: Spaces by Darren Hayes (Gord, that one's for you), Escape by Enrique Iglesias, and Beautiful Day by U2.

I'm still too lazy to post up clean pics from CUTC 2002, but you can get the raw, huge-sized photos from the Junk Yard. NBTC 2002 is just around the corner, and the first-ever TUBS seems to be getting into full gear. Hope to see you at both conferences!

Until next time, you better start worrying about those finals. I'm pissing in my pants already!
