Hey, Whitney, how’s it going? It’s Cathy…from way back when, in Mississauga and Glenforest. If you felt like catching up, e-mail me. I’m in Ottawa now.

[@ above] –> Says Captain “dragon-boat”, the arm-wrestling of pseudo-sports.

Get into a legit hockey workout program – it’s definitely the way to go for a whole-body regiment, especially the core.

p.s. Goalie programs are underrated. Also, Go Canada Go.

p.p.s. Waterloo Region = laaaaaaaame. Speaking from experience. Just a heads up, eh.

Simply “working out regularly” is a good (and necessary) intermediate step to bigger fitness goals.

there’s a new theme usually because there’s one or two small things that i don’t like, so i have to change the whole thing in order to fix those things (because i’m not experienced enough in code to do things properly, only half-assed.)

Why is there a new theme every time I come here?

Anyway, I’m honoured to be mentioned, but ashamed that I’ve only watched the first season. I’ll need to catch up now before the third starts airing.

Your point about the manga being silent is excellent. It just wouldn’t be the same.

basically i can’t do any of the strike through stuff because i still owe lots of money. but if i had the money, i’d still want to do it, therefore it’s still true, just not possible.

I wish I could say something helpful… I have a mentality with the world at-large: if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Sometimes I find certain things (though the things might be different in nature from those things that you experience) exasperating and infuriating… but the status quo is what it is. I guess you have to, like, channel your rage into something productive.

With respect to housing, I think there is some shady student housing around (for which proof of work may not be required). But commuting from Mississauga might not be so bad, at least for the first few months. I did it all summer and a little into the fall; and Mel does it now.

I wish I could help you with the job thing. Have you tried services or agencies? There are some career-oriented services for young adults. For example: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/training/cepp/aboutjc.html

Seriously though, I think the best thing to do is enrol in a university program that has alternating work and school terms (Waterloo has this system; I don’t know if U of T or Ryerson has it though). The university should also help you secure decent jobs for the work term — though there’s always the danger of not being able to secure a job. I think it’s a good system since you get to have a change of environment when you get sick of one thing (every four months), and you can save during your work term to pay for your following school term; and at the end, you get a degree, which doesn’t hurt.

And also: you shouldn’t settle for doing stupid, tedious things or working with stupid, boring people whose idea of conversation is discussing favourite colours.

If you want to just talk to someone, feel free to contact me (seriously).

Sorry to hear about your granddad. I hope you feel better soon.

Where are you staying in Rome?
