September 2019

This year has been absolutely CRAZY! I can't believe how it is going so far, and I can only hope it will continue to be this awesome. I did a co-op term in Winnipeg, during the Winter (January to April). That was such an interesting experience. Sure, the weather was absolutely terrible. We had to …

2019

Woohoo! It's 2019 already! 2018 sure had its ups and downs, and my goals in 2019 is to have healthier habits, as well as being a better learner. I want to constantly seek out new things to learn, whether it be about coding or knitting. I want to keep up that passion, as well as …

Third Year

Can't believe it's the start of my 3rd year at Waterloo. Time has flown by faster than I thought, despite all the stress university has given me. I believe it's primarily thanks to my amazing friends, and passion for CS that has gotten me through everything so far. University has taught me a lot, aside …

Holiday Season

I marked on my calendar in October, that starting on November 1st, is the official day it is socially acceptable to play Christmas Music. My roommates and friends were not as excited about my early Christmas cheer as I hoped, but I knew that with enough repetition will get them on board with me. I …

Random Thoughts – What does it mean to be bad at something?

Just felt like thinking about life again. Let's see what is on my mind this time. Hmm I was thinking about the definition of being supposedly "bad at something". Hmm.. What does that mean? What does it mean to say, for example, "I am bad at cooking?" Would that mean that person is bad at …

Grace Hopper Conference

I just came back recently from my trip to the Grace Hopper Conference in Orlando. It is the largest women in tech conference in the world! I got to meet so many different people from around the globe, and hear their stories. It was very inspiring. I loved the keynotes, as they were all given …

Daisy

My little sister and bff. She came into my life when I was just 8 years old. Time sure does fly. I remember a picture of Daisy sort of in a tree when she was just a puppy. Man, I feel bad for her since she had to put up with little me. Ever since …

Updates on some of my friends

So I was writing to my amazing, and very inspiring math teacher. I can't say her name because of privacy reasons obviously. But she is great. Super smart, and a very determined person. Can you believe she graduated with a degree in Pure Math??? PLUS she didn't like it very much because it was too …

Halfway done first Co-op term

We're halfway there! Woah-ohh living on the prayer! - Was going to make this post 11 days earlier from today, but accidentally saved it as a draft instead of publishing it haha I can't believe I'm already halfway done my first co-op! Boston has been great so far, and so has Toast (the company I'm …

Time Flies like a bird like a plane no like Superman!

I can't believe the last time I wrote here was 4 months ago. Those 4 months ago I was studying my butt off, while stressing on finding a job for COOP. So much has changed since then. Second term for first year was rougher than the first term, as there was a lot more work, …
