Summation

Last week kicked ass, and ended with a lovely toss up at 36 which got shut down before the cops shut it down, nevertheless I managed to not get home until 615.

Work is awesome, I'm in the imaging group developing an API for a graphics chip, and despite the fact I don't know C, i'm making quite good progress on it already. The work environment is friendly, and I like the people there. They've invited me out for a poker game tomorrow night, so i'm just going to stay late and bank hours, then thu. I have a welcome party (for me and the other coops), so more banking hours, and then i'll cash some of them in on friday so I can leave early and head to waterloo for BOT.

Other new things, appearantly i'm going to a Matt Good Concert with Kate, that should be awesome. Kate's coming down from Peterborough one of these weekends to visit as well, that'll be a drunken festival.

Jon Stewart, of course, if I haven't mentioned it, on Oct. 7th. That should also be amazing.

This weekend: Post-BOT, Coffee/Brunch with Iris on Sunday, Kristin is down from Hamilton, so i'm chilling with her at some point this weekend. Edit. No i'm not, Kristin is coming down next weekend. No word from Cas, but I may have mentioned doing something this weekend with her. Julie wants to hang out as well, but that may not happen this weekend specifically.

So all in all, busy in a very good way. PCDEP work is being done as we speak, so i'll probably ship off the next version before next week.

If anyone else is interested in seeing me, let me know, i've got a whole term and i'm happy to pack it as full as I can.

Oh, Passed last term by the way. Not that you read this Karim, but thanks for vouching for me at the committee meeting, and thanks to Strick and Nick for talking to him. Now I just need to write two supplementary exams, read: this term is also filled with 241 questions and reading that HOWTO site for 204 that Kate sent me.

In other news, I'm also thinking of running for FOC for next years Frosh week. This year was amazing, and the FOC did a terrific job, so next year is going to require some really crazy planning for the new FOC. Thankfully, there's a lot of people running who would do a terrific job. So far I've heard of people considering it:
Me, Todd, Andrea, Kate, Fitz, Glenn, Murph, Carla, Pieneman, and Olenkis.

That's a crazy list, and the competition will be rough. I think I have a good shot, but I care more about frosh week being good than being FOC, so if I end up running and they don't give me a position (preferably as HeadCom, but even so), at least I know that they found 4 people who are going to do a better job than I am, and if that's the case, next year will be sweet.

So in summary, things are great for the moment, hopefully any terrible badness will hold off for a while and I can enjoy this.
