[I'm alive!!]

It's been a long time since I last updated...so here goes. I totally agree with what Chloe said... as creepy as Kingston sometimes gets with all the townies and crazy drunks lining the streets on friday nights, Kingston IS growing into a place that I "like" (not quite at the "love" stage yet). Life really is so much simpler here. I love being able to do what I want when I want AND there's no added stress of dealing with the parents, though I love them oodles and even find myself missing them sometimes. I miss my little brother too who seems a lot more mature every time I see him. We got along fantastically as kids (save the occasional "tripping contests") but it wasn't until we left home in opposite directions that I'm really starting to feel the care and love.

Sometimes you just don't appreciate what you have until it's gone... I have regrets too but is it too late to go back?

Internship update:
No word from Honda so there goes that. I'm not even sure I want to do this internship business anymore. Having to write up applications while I'm also supposed to be working on a million different design projects is more stress than I can handle. Besides the fact that I pretty much know for sure that I don't want to work in the chemical engineering industry after graduation. Too boring and too much responsibility placed on your shoulders. I blame it all on that disgusting movie "Acceptible Risks"!! hahaha... Scary chemical plant disaster and even scarier love scenes between a 60 something year old grandpa with his daughter's high school friend. UGHHH.... I've just applied to a few more jobs today... I guess whatever happens happens.

Caught glimpses of the Oscars tonight... I don't think I've ever sat through the entire show before. Usually I just catch a bit of the red carpet then skip through all the minor awards and come back for the grand finale. Poor Brokeback!! I haven't yet watched the movie myself but from all the hype from the critics, I thought for sure they'd pull off at least a few more. Well at least Ang Lee won Best Director and Zhang Ziyi's English isn't that bad this year either. =P

Here's to the start of a new week. I should probably be finding out this week whether or not I'll be getting that internship at Honda. At this point, I don't really know what I want. It'll be nice if I got it... I think a break from school might do me some good, well at least help me to figure out what the hell I'm doing in Chem Eng. I don't know if I can see myself doing all this crap for the rest of my life. On the other hand... I'm so close to finishing the program. I think I'll be extremely depressed coming back here the following year after everyone I know has graduated. It's all in Your hands Lord.
