Breathe, breathe in the air...don't be afraid to care

Quick! Name that tune! :)

G'day all! Hope things are going well.

Things here in Sarnia are going well. I'm over halfway done the second week of work, and this week, actually got some work to do! So that's exciting. Right now, it's mind-numbing work: obtaining & graphing data, but it's going to lead into doing some heat exchanger optimization (and hopefully a work report ;)) Unfortunately, they continue to have a lot of troubles with the plant, so it's still not running. They're going to try it again this weekend, but they've just had so much bad luck with getting it back up & running.

My place of residence is working out really well though. I really like Rob & Katie (who I'm living with), my room is nice & big, the own bathroom thing just rocks...same with having my own big fridge & they have a big-screen tv! So that's pretty sweet. They're also leaving tonight till Sunday (unfortunately Rob's Aunt died, so they're going up to Petawawa for the funeral) so I've got the place to myself.

I'm also glad to know other people in town. Ally & I have hung out a number of times :) We went shopping this past Saturday, and then Ally, Warren & I went to see King Kong on Sunday. King Kong was pretty good, although a little long at the end.

Mom & Dad had a good trip to visit Jenn & Mike & Henry last week. They loved meeting their new grandson. I saw more pictures - he's a gorgeous baby! Some kids are not-so-gorgeous when born, and grow cute after a few weeks, but no, he was definitely beautiful from the beginning :) Mike was at a convention last week, that's why the parents went down, and from what I gather, I think Jenn definitely appreciated having them.

I've gotten back into learning guitar again. Although since I didn't practice for long periods of time ever, I'm working on the calluses again. So now my fingers hurt. But I'm determined to practice every day - even if it's just for 30-45 minutes. I'm learning chords, which are a bit boring, but definitely important before I jump into songs so that I have no troubles with the songs (and don't just learn tablature!) I'm trying, I'm trying.

I think that's it for now. I'm going to post this address on my MSN name, so if you're reading this b/c you got it from there, then welcome! I hope you enjoy (and as I keep saying, I'll try to update more often...but I never seem to find anything exciting to say) And please comment...say whatever...I like to know what you think! And that might motivate me to update more often ;)

  • No matter how little you update your blog, you're one up on me...The last time I updated my blog was January 2005! In my own defense, I have been working on a school website, so I've still been coding, at least.
