travelling

work is getting pretty interesting now. i get to work on actual projects and even travelled to cleveland. that was something that i had not anticipated.

its gonna be too hard to catch up on the stuff i missed while neglecting my blog.

ive learned that its hard to build a building properly. sealants dont seal a building from water coming in, a proper drainage system does. if designed properly, that buildng can withstand a hurricane without sealant and still not leak. thats really kool.

people dont really know what they're buying. its a really bad idea to buy a buiding if you cant walk around and check for damages. now i will rthink about buying a condo.

i think this is the first work term that i can picture myself doing after graduation. its really exciting and problems are always dfferet. people always find new ways of building bad buildings. its really like csi for buildings. given a set of circumstances, you run tests, look for evidence and try to peice together what happened and how to fix it. the peopel there are also really great to work with. im amazed by how much expertise everyone has. there is a lot of room for advancement. its weird, i can kinda see a future almost... which hasnt happened to me on a work term yet. but we'll see.

ive been pleasently surprised taht waterloo is one fo the only schools that have a buidlign technology courses offereed at the undergraduate level. they're gonna hire 3 more coops next term from uw. and ive been talkig to one of the people interviewed and they said they were realy impressed with both myself and the previous coop. it made me feel really good.

ive been spending a lot of money. i went shopping a abercrombie yesterday. i do like their stuff, they fit very nicely. but as darrick always tells me, im too cheap. and it almost felt awkward buying it. but it was nice and i really like my new clothes. :)

im so busy. work is really busy. i like to be busy, cuz it keeps me from thinking too much. missing people. but at the same time, i want to miss people. so that i dont feel so robotic or soemthing. not sure that makes sense. im trying to find a flight home, but so far ive been finding really expensive flights.
