Frosh Week Leader

I signed up to be a frosh week leader a while back, so I was filling in my bio for our team's website just now. I figured I might as well post what I sent in to the website here. So here it is:

Hometown: Toronto, ON

Program and Year: 2B Electrical Engineering

Hobbies and Interests: Music, Movies, Meowing, Munching, Meeting people, Making funny faces, Heros of Might and Magic, Muttering to myself....

Fun Fact: I can't sound out new words. I learned to read words as a whole visually, rather than learning how to sound things out phonetically. To this day, my written vocabulary far surpasses my verbal one. I just talk in little easy words.

Advice For First Year Students: Get as much sleep as you can when you can. Also, the white noise from fans can work miracles in reducing sounds from your neighbours.

Why You Love Frosh Week: For the absolutely amazing farmer's tan I'm gonna get. =D

Dreamy Summer Daze

Alright, first post! Wahooo! Well, I figured I should tell some basic information about myself, just so I'm not constantly filling in background info when I do mention something later. I'm currently living in Toronto, Ontario. I'm in school at the University of Waterloo for Electrical Engineering (I live in Waterloo, Ontario for half the time due to school). I am an only child, but I have a darling kitty cat named Mao Mao. When I'm in Toronto, I live with my parents (saves rent! =D ), but I share a house with two engineering girls when I'm in Waterloo. University of Waterloo has a mandatory co-op program for all its engineers, so I have a weird school schedule. Don't be alarmed if it seems that I am randomly in school and at work. Um..what else is there to tell? Hard facts wise, I think that's about it.....I'm sure I'll come up with more for the next post.

Until then!

Welcome

Welcome one and all! If you happen to literally stumble upon this blog (I'm not mentioning this to any friends...etc, so no publicity at all), you're welcome to read and comment. I'm starting this blog because I want something to chronicle my thoughts, ideas, feelings, and life in general. I've followed blogs for a while (Strawberry Koi and Selective Potential in particular), and figured it was time i started my own. Even if no one reads this, I would still like to have a blog where I can rant to my heart's content, display my personal accomplishments, and well, leave my mark in the cyberworld. =) So dear readers, thank you for sticking around for this long. Enjoy your cybertrip into my head and world!

Thanks and Welcome!
