Waterloo HERE I COME!
yes! excellent!
I just got an e-mail back from the University of Waterloo. They said that the required courses for Waterloo's Computer Science program are Cal I and Linear Algebra with Cal II being recommended. Therefore, I'll see if I can switch Cal II into second semester, but it's not as big a deal as I thought it might be. I feel confident that my marks will be good enough to get in (Math was always my top subject).
Definatly an occasion to celebrate eh? lol.
Turns out my parents are taking me out to dinner tonight at Dubarry's (a chinese food place in Gatineau... real Gatineau not this new POS they call Gatineau and I call "the terrible, stupid, short-sighted, illadvised, never asked us or took a vote or anything to try and merge Aylmer, Hull, Chelsea and Wakefield into one city (with Gatineau). And did you notice that out of all five towns (seven if you include Buckingham and Masson-Anger) that only two have french names? Yet they picked the french one... grr! Another insult to Quebec-anglophone culture!" and then I go off into this tirade against the Quebec government but whatever.
So yeah, I doubt I'll be around til 9-10 tonight and I may go right to bed as I've got school tomorrow! Or I may go check my e-mail but not for very long.
But yes! Waterloo seems to be on, if I can get a good job this year. (And my parents seem to be okay with it... they offered to pay some of the costs, like helping with the car payment, moving expenses and even furniture if I wanted an apartment. yes! ka-ching).
Alright, alright, I've got stuff to do, especially if I'm going out tonight.
Later all.
(now where did I put that f-ing watch)
