It feels like I’m always in one of two moods:

1. I’ve got a gazillion ideas and absolutely no time to even think about them.
2. I’ve got tons of free time, and can’t find something to work on.

How lame is that.

My olympic reading week mini-vacation worked absolute wonders for me. For the first time in months, if not years, it showed me that life can actually potentially be 100% what I want it to be. It showed me that one day, I might actually wake up and not despise the day’s activities, that I might actually wake up with a desire to go out and do things. It showed me that surrounding yourself with amazing friends is worth more than almost anything else, and that honey nut cherrios taste infinitely better when enjoyed in the middle of a parking lot with a soft banjo serenade. Frack, how I want school to be over.

Thankless bastards.

Dear lord, it’s emails like these that make me HATE the state of Engineering at the University of Alberta.

Zero support for anything, ever.

Well, so much for that.

About a month ago, I wrote a nice little letter to the Mayor, basically explaining (in kinder, more formal words) that I thought ETS was insane for not promoting our application. Personally, I believe that applications like MyStops (and Route411.. sigh.) are essential to improving young ridership. Anyways, I finally just received this beauty of a response:

To be expected, I suppose. At least I received something - and it’s even signed in real ink. Woot.

I really, really wish my interests weren’t so closely tied to making money.
