Things are going very well in Vancouver. I've been keeping busy; work during the week, touring/hanging out/biking outside of that. I've visited Stanley Park and went to the aquarium there. (Dolphin, Beluga Whale and Sea Lion shows were sweet), on my birthday I went out for some drinks (and Dairy Queen) with a bunch of frat friends, and I've played some tennis.
My long weekend was enjoyable. i made the last minute decision to go to victoria (on vancouver island) headed over there EARLY saturday morning (i was up at 5:30) took the ferry, had some nice lunch on the edge of the harbour, toured parliament, walked along the coast at "Mile 0" of the transcanada highway where a terry fox statue stands. played on the beach for a bit, saw the world's largest totem pole at 127 ft, greek dinner, hit "the sticky wicket" pub which offered pub and dance floor and roof top patio! really nifty place. then we continued with the tourist stuff on sunday - going to the museum which had a cool climate change exhibit, and one on BC natives. saw some glass blowing and walked down the worlds smallest street (4 ft across) ate a 3 hour italian dinner then went on a midnight stroll to see the parliament bdgs lit up with 3,333 white bulbs! Monday was a tour of a castle and then headed back home via the ferry. enjoyable weekend all around!
my hunt for the next co-op position (Sept-Dec) should be starting soon. I may look around in the Vancouver area but have the feeling that Ontario will once again become my home. I doubt that I will extend my stay with Triumf. The position isn't too bad, but its a near repeat of what I did in my last co-op job. I think once I'm done the current project that may change though; there's talk of an auto-cad project coming up...
my new macbook arrived yesterday.. but no one answered the door :( so i left a note with phone numbers for the fedex guy who said he'd try again today. so hopefully i get it. that would likely lead to increased communication with you!
other than that, I'm going to 3 concerts this weekend.(architecture in helsinki, we are scientists/arctic monkeys, alkaline trio) going out after the one on friday for Mark who's leaving for europe next week. there's also a festival coming up in July (broken social scene, sam roberts, the stills) and I am considering a few other shows (ie: Billy Talent, Foo Fighters). Next weekend I'm probably heading to a cottage on the island with a bunch of people from the frat.
hope everyone's doing well! feels like I'm gonna be back in Ontario before I know it. [not that that's a bad thing ; ) ]
