Snagged




It's kind of funny where we find ourselves sometimes. Without suspecting it, I'm snagged on something, but I'm liking it here right now. Life is interesting, exhilarating, and I'm seeing the limits I've imposed on myself breakdown.

My coworker, another co-op student from Brock and I have been running around. We've explored a few hiking trails, talked a lot, and tried a few restaurants. The trails were my favorite. I love being outdoors. She made it pretty obvious that she liked me, but I didn't feel the same in return. So, I made it clear that I wasn't looking for something. She seemed disappointed, but she cheered up after wards and said that we could still be friends. I'm glad that went well.

I guess it has been an interesting few weeks. All the girls from my original social group are now happily with someone special, so I don't expect to hear from them too much. It's been pretty nice observing how their relationships are forming. The beginnings are always so cheerful and so full of hope. They better all do well, I trying to put those days of me taking care of broken girls behind me. I've learned. They come, I help them, and then they leave. I won't hear from them until they need help again.

Things have been busy. We've been experimenting with a new polymer at work, so I've been busy pouring over the data. I love what we're doing, it's like real science. :)

I gotta get working hard on the projects from my American internship. I don't think they're really impressed with my progress so far, but I really haven't had much time to devote to it. Gotta get on it, can't give Waterloo a bad name now can I?

On another note, we've got a new Karaoke machine at home, like any good Taiwanese family, you've gotta have a piano and a K machine. At least this one has new songs and has actual KTV songs. Although, to be honest, it is just a linux box, so I probably could've made it myself if I had the time.

Back to singing, and playing with my doggies. Damn I've missed them.
