Finishing University...

After exams, after projects, after five aggressively interesting years of studying and internship have passed since I've stepped onto the ground of McMaster University campus, I am finally done! The Engineering Ring that has been praised by Canadian Engineers since 1922 has finally found its owner. To tell you honestly, I am happy.

Going back in history, five years ago, somewhere in March during one of McMaster's tour days, I have visited the campus for the first time. I remember it as a shiny day full of new faces, guys and girls, serious and happy, looking at everything with large eyes. The whole new world in front of them had promised the new atmosphere to breath in, the new friendships to start, the new challenges to overcome. The “large eyes” might be an exaggeration, but that's my way of telling that there is a huge difference between a frosh and a graduate student (or not?).

(I will continue in the next post as it is 1 am and I am really trying to get on Europe time before the trip, even though this is not happeing for now : )

Gettin' ready to eat SPAM

My blog had been spammed after I've posted the first message. Instead of cursing the spammers, I've remembered about good summer days. I will explain. During the second half of summer 2005, I've discovered about SPAM ham - a really delicious brand of ham, canned and ready for camping - at least that is my application for it. Out there, in the wild, it pleases you every second during its consumption and digestion, suggesting to smile and enjoy the good times.

Here is an image of me and SPAM. I can freely say: "Spam is good and useful!" - and not feel bad about it.

First message

Sitting at my work, having a late lunch, I came across this page.

What a great nifty service. I've seen Blogger before, I even saved a link in my favourites. Funny enough, it took just several years for me to actually open an account. Only after I saw a link under Google's additional tools!

That pic is taken by my friend Nazar, while Volodya is holding a kite - his new toy he've picked up while working in Miami - several meters above the ground.

Cheers
