Two Weeks to Relax

So I have two weeks to relax now. My exams are over and they went well. Now all I'm doing is working 2 days a week. That and all the fun stuff that comes up. Oh, and I have to do a lot of thinking about my masters.

Since no post can be without photos...here are some from last weeks movie night, one which Sara and I didn't stay at through the movie time, but was still a lot of fun with the Guesstures charades game. I had an exam the next morning and I'm not a big fan of horror movies.



...and sushi:

In this one it looks like Nate is spearing his brother
in the head with something coming out of his mouth.

Tagged...again?

Apparently Shea tagged me.

1. Recently I got a Wii! Sara gave it to me as a sort of present for our 1 year anniversary and for me graduating soon.

Doesn't my Mii look like me?


2. My girlfriend Sara and I recently just had our 1 year anniversary (from our first date) and being geeky, I made a small computer program for her to use on the date. For two meals and two events during the day she had use the program to choose what was behind one of two doors. On the doors were clues to the event that might be behind them.





3. I am graduating this term. My convocation is in June! I will have a BSc in Interactive arts and Technology along with a minor in Mathematics. I'm pretty happy to be finishing up the math classes. I also got accepted into the Master's program for the same major. So I'll be going right into that in the fall.

4. The closest thing I have to a pet is a mylar balloon brought to a poker game at my house by a couple of friends. It came with a smilie face but they had made the smile much bigger and added eyebrows to the balloon in an attempt to make it's face like mine. I named this balloon Mylar and it is now about ½ year old. I have refilled the helium in the balloon a couple times now. The last time was to take him to the most recent poker game where this shot was taken of me.



5. I recently got my N driving license...much behind all my friends. I never cared too much about driving when I was younger and still don't care too much, as I can get most places by transit. It's also better for the environment. However it was a pain to have to ask people for a ride home from parties late at night when the bus no longer ran. I still feel bad about that. It can also be useful to driving when going on vacation, like camping. As it is I still need to get a vehicle.

6. I like to read. I'm amazed how many people in their twenties don't read. At least they don't read novels. Maybe they read things at work, they read road signs (sometimes) and they might read those daily newspapers that are handed out at the skytrain, but they don't really read read. Now, lately I've had a pretty busy life with work and school, but that also means I'm on the bus a lot, so I usually end up doing most of my reading in transit.

7. I feel like I'm behind. All my friends are younger than me. I got a cellphone much after them and with some persuading, I also just got my driver's license. I'm finishing my undegrad at an older age than most of them have or will. Oh well, at least I live without any "adult" supervision long before them.
