I can only wonder where I'll be in four months. It's a crazy and exciting time. I'm armed with time off work and the determination to drive my Masters to an end by mid-April. This leaves me less than 2 months to start and finish my M.Eng. project, which will be an interesting task on its own.

I was laying on my bed earlier this afternoon thinking about what I would do when I arrived where I'd be. Thoughts of my first few days:

Here I am, different city, different country, I can't help to think about home and the friends and family back where I lived just two days ago. I need to get a computer up and running with MSN/ICQ before I go nuts and have Vancouver withdrawl. Maybe I should take a walk outside, but it's 9pm now - everything's closed, there's nothing to see. I think I'll start reading a little more now... hmm... I don't have a good book with me and I'll probably be distracted with thoughts of home. I wonder if there's anything I can do for work ahead of time so I don't go in cold. Wait, I need a computer for researching. Perhaps I'll meditate instead to see if I learn something new. <2 minutes later> Meditation's boring. People who meditate must not have anything better to do. 9:05pm. Man, this is driving me insane. I won't meet anyone new until I start work in two days. Oh look, a cockroach. Where're my slippers? Oh, right... I didn't bring any. Wish I were home. I have slippers at home. Sigh... 12 more hours before tomorrow will start for me. I'll try sleeping now to get there sooner. <3 hours later of tossing and turning, Kevin sleeps>
