Uh oh, Goose Alert!
There’s a canadian goose making a nest near the south-west door of PAC. I guess it hasn’t laid its eggs yet, since it’s not attacking anyone… but I suppose I better be careful in the future while walking around in that area. It’s fairly high traffic corridor, so chances are it’ll be moved before it’s allowed to finish its nest there… but I’ll check again tomorrow. 
I’ve always enjoyed this time of the year. No, not in terms of school, but in terms of season… It’s the renewal of the spring, the melting of the snow, chirping of the birds (they’re starting to come back now… 6AM!), shedding of the jacket, and a brand new start for everyone. I’m starting to notice the thousands of squirrels that inhabit the University of Waterloo campus again, and the snow’s finally starting to melt. It’s suppose to hit 10 degrees later this week, so by the weekend, there won’t be any trace of winter left anywhere.
There’s a huge controversy right now about the WPIRG referendum where the referendum was canceled outright. I was looking for a good flame war… but when I sat down, I really couldn’t find things to say. I don’t know whether it’s because it would be like shooting a fish in a barrel, or because I’ve just grown older and more mature… but the way the entire affair has been handled by Federation of Students have left a very bitter taste in my mouth.
I’m currently in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do. If I were to stay in Waterloo, I think I’ll be doing computational neuroscience which seems to be an interesting and very cutting edge mixture of many different fields… It’s either that, or a job at Centre for International Governance Innovation which also seems very interesting… or maybe it’ll be a mixture of both. This is much harder decision than the one that was made 5 years ago… *sigh*

You should also check if the water’s back in Columbia Lake!

Were you going to vote yes or no?

Environment Canada predicts flurries at the end of the week =P This winter has been one big psych-out.

I vote strongly for CIGI. C’mon it’s a great place to work - we just got Louise Frechette, first Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations. Brian Mulroney was supposed to come down but surgery prevented it.
Consider it a year “break” before diving back into school. You’re gonna burn yourself out at this rate.
…And we could use more Koreans.
