Set and Ready

Everything's set.

Well, almost everything.

I've got a place to live, a new computer and a one-way plane ticket.

By "one-way" I don't mean literally, I really got a one-way ticket to Waterloo. For some reason the girl who sold me ticket told me if I'm not sure of the returning date, it's better to just buy a one-way ticket.

And that's my first one-way plane ticket ever in my life.

Chinese Valentines is just around the corner, and god knows how much I miss her.

I don't want to sound dramatic or anything, but I'm a little nervous now that I'm really going.

For some strange reason, it feels like I'm even more nervous than the time I was going to work in Vietnam. Why's that? Waterloo is just another town in Canada. I'm not even leaving this country.

Perhaps, it's because at the time I went Vietnam, I could still turn back at any time I want. But this time is dead or alive.

Well, of course, I'm exaggerating. Other than that I might freeze to death in Waterloo, what's the worst that can happen? After I spend 5 years in Waterloo and finally realized that I can't be an acturary, then I come back to Vancouver or go back to Taiwan to find a job. Hopefully still a computer-related job, if I'm not too behind. Oh, let me add this, at the age of 30.

That sounds fun...

At any rate, it's a little late to change my mind. Plus, I'm not going to change my mind.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but I do tend to think little to nothing while deciding big steps like this. And I don't listen to the others, not even her.

3 years ago, she told me don't go Vietnam; I went anyways.

last year, she told me don't come back; I came back anyways.

She said nothing this time.

Now the only one who seems to hold the opposing idea of me going to Waterloo is Ken. As my best friend, I hate the fact that he's almost right about everything all the time.

Well, at any rate, he didn't say much. And again, at any rate, I'm going anyways.

While I'm usually an easy-going person, I can be stubborn sometime. And I don't think that's a good thing.

But that's just... me...

That's my first blog on my new computer. And it's super long because I'm waiting for WoW's patch to finish download. It's only... 59% now. God! This is taking forever.

August 10th. I have a midterm on saturday. Next weekend I'm going to Seattle. At the end of August little turtle, judy, ken and me are going to Galieno Island for a 3-days-get-away.

Small turtle has successfully reserved a cottage for us on 28-30. Honestly, I really don't think he can do it until he really pulled it off. Why did every cottage I called were all fully booked, but he can easily find vacant ones? Honestly, I still can't figure that one out.

Well, I guess I ... well ... maybe I give up too easy.

But believe or not, I really did called 10+ cottages but they all said no to me. But small turtle gets lucky on the first or second try. Odd...

He's just that good at making reservations.

Turtle, if you are reading this, I wasn't 裝孝ㄟ, I really did called 10+ cottages. And I guess I own you an apology for not believing in you at the first place. ^_^

Thanks a lot, we'll have an awesome trip.

A little off topic, I am.

Back to the getting ready to Waterloo thingy.

Instead of the more expansive Large Single Room, I booked a smaller room and I couldn't move in until 9/11.

I was planning on going to Waterloo at 9/2, but now I have to move it back to 9/10.

It's rather inconvenient to move in on 9/11 since school starts on 9/12.

But since our Galieno trip is on 10/28 to 10/30, I guess it's a good thing that I have a couple more days to rest and say goodbye to others before I leave Vancouver.

Plus, plane ticket is mysteriously cheaper on 9/9 - only 200 CAD. If I were to go on 9/2, it was 275 CAD.

So... I guess, overall, it's a good thing for me.

Other than that I'll have a rush start at Waterloo and I'll have one week less to spend with Ben. Well... I guess... since I'll stay in Waterloo till like forever, 1 week is a reasonable loss.

After all, I didn't do it on purpose. You gotta forgive me, Ben.
