Kite, castle, sun & fun

So the fun just kept coming even after I finished camp. (Less kid-involvement in the fun, but it was enjoyable nonetheless)

In these past 2 weeks, I have..
-Explored UT campus and met up with friends for lunch
-Explored York campus and rode the VIVA! (I heart the VIVA – it’s soooo much better than the TTC)
-Attended a pool party!
-Met up with an old friend for breakfast/brunch. Afterwards we hung out in the park for a long time, just chatting and catching up. It was really nice:)
-Watched a gruesome movie about aliens
-Played softball with waterloo’ers and had expensive bubble tea afterwards
-Had appetizers @ Moxies with ‘loo healthies
-Attended 2 weddings & 1 banquet
-Got poked several times by the doctor and nurses:(
-Took a walk with 2 beautiful ladies around the Distillery District and enjoyed some delightful pistachio gelato
-Built sandcastles, flew a kite and watched the sky turn colours with the nightfall. Unfortunately I was dumb enough to think that Bluffer’s Park faced the sunset. 2/3, isn’t bad though. The beautiful sunset will have to wait.

And last but not least, I went on a lovely Tai Pan road trip to see the Thousand Islands, Old Montreal, Charlevoix, and Mont Tremblant with the parentals.

In his heart a man plans his course

but the LORD determines his steps. (Prov 16:9)

So I have finally put together my list of 101 things I would like to accomplish in the next 1001 days.  I have always enjoyed setting goals and working to achieve them…so it was pretty fun putting this list together.

I’ve already checked off 3 of the items! (woot!)  My bro helped me pick an external hard drive on August 13th.  It was only 124+tax for one terabyte. :)   And time machine is pretty easy to use…In fact, backing up the hard drive is literally plugging in the usb for the external hard drive.

Here’s to 1001 days of growth and  living life to the fullest..

Courage & Calling

There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better or worse as his portion; that though the wide universe if full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

- from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “Self-Reliance”

Fall Schedule

I’m so excited:)

Staring blankly at the road ahead
Got my paper and pen,
My guitar and a Friend
I know I’ll find my way
