Courses for the next term..

Well, Well, Well... It seems like it was only yesterday that I started studying at the University of Waterloo, but in fact it was over 4 years ago. This week I was choosing courses for my very last school term, that will start in January 2005.

As it turns out I already took all the required courses, and I only need 3 electives to fulfill my degree requirements. I took 4 courses. 2 are CS courses - Compilers(should be very hard and time consuming, but very interesting), Principles of Programming Languages(not really sure why I'm taking that one. Seems to have no practical value, but I assume there will be some cool proofs in there, so I might as well take it). I'm also taking Interviewing and Law for Math Students(both are supposed to be bird electives)

Can't say that I'm looking forward to that last term. Coming back to Waterloo, in Winter ?? Doesn't seem exciting at all. Oh well - it's only 4 months, and that I'M DONE !! YES - DONE. WOW !

The wonders of photography...

Finally, two months after buying a Canon Powershot S60 I got to read it's instruction manual today. My knowledge of digital photography has been really minimal, so reading that instruction manual really opened my eyes to the wonders of photography. I was amazed at how many camera options one can configure in order improve the quality of the pictures. After reading the manual, I turned to Google to find more resources and tutorials on digital photography, and quickly found an excellent website http://www.dcviews.com that has an incredible collection of tutorials on all kinds of topics related to digital photography. Obviously I cannot become a great photographer right away, but I hope that after reading all that information today, my future pictures are going to be at least slightly better than the ones I've been taking up until now.

Trip to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles

This past weekend(Nov 13,14), myself and three other Google interns from University of Waterloo went on a trip to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. While Los Angeles might seem like a typical destination for a US visitor, one might wonder - "Why Santa Barbara? What's so special about it?" Well, as it turns out, back in the day a lot of us were avid viewers of soap opera "Santa Barbara", an so were kinda curious to see what the real Santa Barbara city looks like. And so, early morning on Nov 13 we departed to Santa Barbara on our newly rented Kia Rio. The weather forecast looked very promising - around 23 degrees celcius for both days of the weekend. Amazing, considering it's a middle of November. We arrived in Santa Barbara around 4PM. The town looked great. However, it somehow felt like a toy town. It's hard to explain. If you've watched the movie Truman Show you'll understand what I mean. Seems like people don't really work there, but r
