Messages from the Past
I got a mail from Mission Foundation today, in which a letter from recipient of “Yum Science Scholarship” was enclosed. He is, as far as I am aware, the first recipient of the scholarship.
I wonder how much he got… I’m guessing around $500, but I guess it really depends on how the funds are managed.
Anyway, it was interesting blast from the past… He actually knew me through his sister who graduated in the same year as I did. Seeing that mail (generated using mail template/wizard in Word - you know, that globe background and stuff?) brought lots of memories of my highschool days. Ahh, it seems such a long time ago that I find it hard to remember the details. I killed some time surfing around the highschool website. I still recognize some of the names of the teachers but there are more unrecognizable names than recognizable ones.
I somehow ended up on Star Wars Galaxy website, it seems like a fun game and I think I’d enjoy it (probably as a druid engineer or doctor or some kind of non-combatant character) but then the reality hit me - I probably won’t have enough time. Wait, strike the probably. I definitely won’t have enough time. This also got me back into nostalgic-for-highschool mood when I seemed to have all the time in the world… Ah well, c’est la vie. Maybe I’ll play that game once the workterm starts. ![]()
