New Opportunity

It's been quite a while since I have last posted. It has been a busy past few weeks with working more, seeing friends when I could and trying to take some holidays.

Let's see, where to start. I have not been able to run as often as I would like, but I have still got in a couple runs a week, and some golf games. Golfing is exercise, right? Started up playing poker again, although I have not been that good at it. I should play more often to be better at it. There is a free poker night at the Cloverdale Station pub on Tuesdays, so I have take advantage of that and just had some good times with my buddy Mark. He's pretty good at it I must admit and I think after he moves into his new place we'll be doing a poker night for kicks.

I received a government grant for school, which is very exciting. It helps with school and all, obviously, but I think I'll use it in the winter/spring semester and hopefully I'll be receiving some scholarships too, to help relieve any financial stress. After buying my books, so far for 3 of the 4 classes and it costing me just over $500, I would love the money to help. I am, however, looking forward to school. New chances to learn something different, different classes, new people and we have an orientation the first week. Not happy that they orientation is all day, but it's to set us for the remainder of the program and there is a networking event to follow which is good.

On the topic of school, I just accepted a position to be a member of the President's Ambassadorial Team at Kwantlen. It's an opportunity to work along side the President of the university, work with the Surrey Board of Trade and so on. This is an opportunity I have been looking for and so I am going to do my best to make the best of it.

On Saturday I went to the AC/DC concert. It was unbelievable. Played all my favourite hits, which are all of them, and the performance was incredible. Saw a 15 minute guitar solo which was amazing as well. We had floor seats and could easily see everything. Great experience and I wish to see them again!

It's the last week of summer before school starts. I do have to work, but I am golfing tomorrow with my cousin and that'll be good, and a good long weekend with a party and a golf game. I want to make the best of it.
