entering 3rd year of study of B.A.Sc. in Computer Engineering (Honours), at the university of ottawa.
if i make it to 4th year i'll probably specialize in computer systems (architecture).
i originally applied for Mechanical engineering...then switched. don't know why exactly.
so far i've worked 2 (non co-op) summer work terms for atomic energy of canada (government), and i've actually been offered to "apply" here for after graduation. good reference letters from this place too
that's what i'm doing right now, sitting here wasting time on the internet though.
bad thing is it's about 2 hours northwest of ottawa. so far away from other rx-7s, or if i ever want to get **** off people for my car...only rotaries are a few RX-8s, but unfortunately they all seem like ******...
hate: the 2 more years of school i have to endure. not having enough time and money for the car
like: the possibility that in a few years i WILL have the time and money for the car

[quote name='ColinRX7' date='Jul 21 2005, 05:23 PM']Funny how many of you are into computers and I do this car/truck thing as a profession
But you guys do it too as hobbyists!
