I think I’m going to take a week off from training this week instead of the original December 1st date. I have actually been training for 8 weeks straight (five times a week) so the fatigue has definitely kicked in. I have trouble sleeping at nights and when I do fall asleep, waking up in the mornings are a drag. So, after tonight’s final back workout, I will take 1 week off and start the new training program which I highly look forward to. It should put on a hefty amount of muscle in 6 months to a year of following it, so that alone is exciting me right now.

I finally got to see my friend Alex last night after 1 month of silence. Headed to this remote club called Ocean Drive in St-Eustache (reminds me of that damn Tiga song). His new car totally pwns!

I got accepted into Concordia’s Computer Science program. Quite a surprise, ain’t it? It’s going to take me 3 years to finish up the program (90 credits) and I’ll have a Bachelors in Comp Sci. I just have to do one prerequisite (Math 204) and this time, I’ll pay attention and do the work. No more screwing around in class! Anyway, I look forward to this fresh start… but I really do want to get this whole school debacle over and done with. I rather concentrate on other things!

I got a white board for the office today and it’s going to be a great addition to planning projects out with my dad. I should get one for home too and do some brainstorming on it. On the topic of projects, there’s quite a few things planned out for the next month or two. I got to optimize our programs to work over the web, and I will implement SQL to do so. Without going into too many technical details, I think it’s going to make things run a lot smoother. Our clients will be quite happy.

Another project my dad and I have to start is RFID for jewellery and clothing. If we implement this feature in our point of sale application, it will attract a lot of new clientèle and make our existing clients want this type of technology right away. Still a bit more planning to do though before we roll it out to the public.

So the pieces are starting to fall into place, and I feel like a new man today. I couldn’t imagine I would be in this spot one year ago, let alone two. A lot has changed throughout this period and I think it is all for the better. I made new friends all over, mended my ways with the forgotten ones and bonded my current friendships to strong new levels. I am finally at peace with my brother; he’s a great person to hang around with and I can’t wait to see where two of us will go in the future.

I’m also a bit disappointed with a few things… most notably my school. But I think that will soon change for the better next semester… that is, if my program change request is successful.

Somehow I knew this was going to happen eventually. It seems that I have no choice but to pursue Computer Science at university, as the other programs do not really tickle my interest. I’m so tired of computers, due to the fact that I’ve been learning about them since I was seven years old. I don’t even feel challenged anymore. Computers are a hobby of mine and I don’t necessarily want to learn about my hobby at school. Where’s the fun in that? There is one program that does interest me (law!) but Concordia doesn’t seem to offer it at all. McGill, however, has a Faculty of Law, but I seriously doubt they’ll accept me with my ass-kicking technical Computer Science DEC from CEGEP. What a load of horse shit. Yes, this is my fault, but I really dislike Chemistry and Physics. My motivation to go through university has plummeted to an all-time low.

Honestly, if I had the choice, I’d drop out of university now and put the money that’s been saved up for school into good use, like investing it into a trust fund of some sort. That won’t happen, however, as my parents are determined to push me through school. I feel like I’m wasting my time… I rather be doing other shit, like working on my websites and helping my dad out with the business. I have too many ideas that I need to put into motion. Time is flying by and I’m going nowhere.

The excuse that school is a big “life insurance policy” sounds bogus to me. To cut it short, I really don’t see myself working for anyone else but me. The idea of a straight job is like the idea of a straight jacket. No way in hell will I become someone else’s slave. Yes, now I’m being a cocky son of a bitch, but I really don’t dig the whole 9 to 5 thing. I like staying and waking up late. I don’t want to be stuck in a cubicle all day long. I don’t follow deadlines. I hate meetings. I’m the biggest procrastinator I know. I will never change.

So, I finally decided to set myself a blog up and see where it takes me. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be emo. I’ll make sure of that.
