A lot of stuff has been happening in the last couple of weeks. For those in the know, I started a new job: Product Designer with Desire2Learn in Kitchener. I complain about the commute from Toronto, but really I’m just fighting the idea of embracing something new. So far, the office has been great: receptive, interesting, and the training program is keeping me busy.
To help me with this commute, I bought a new vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I did this the last time I got a new job as well – it’s becoming a bit of tradition. So far I’ve been extremely happy with the new truck! Overthinking a purchase ruins the magic; I still managed to get a great deal, didn’t have to take out any new loans, and feel pretty gangsta’ driving real slow.
Ode to Guelph
With this new job, a new car, a new wake-up time, and being on the verge of finishing my thesis, the life of last summer seems like a distant memory. Even the close relationships I had are changing, or in some cases, ending.
Guelph felt like home for a little while. Living on Waterloo Avenue, stumbling distance from the all-too-convenient downtown, with 6 other amazing people really helped me redefine my social existence. If you’ve never lived with a bunch of guys in their mid-20′s without full-time jobs and a penchant for life, love, and liquor, I highly recommend it. But expect to have something go terribly, terribly wrong at least once.
Anyways, I guess this is my eulogy to the student life. It’s been a blast, the parties were fun, the girls were pretty, the readings were interesting … but it’s time to move on to different things. Wish me luck!
guuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeelpppppph.
good luck gangsta. don’t forget to carpool! xo
