Welcome to Lakehead University

So this is going to be a brutally honest post.

After two long days of travel with my wonderful parents, we arrived in Thunder Bay. I have to say, the second day's drive was absolutely beautiful. Mountains, Lake Superior and tons wildlife. It was awesome, although my feelings of starting this engineering program had not set in yet.

Fast forward the unpacking and room organization process, and two days of orientation, I'm sitting here writing this blog. I spent the last 4 hours watching videos about old trig and functions math from high school and wow am I ever rusty. I haven't even cracked beginner calculus yet. It is safe to say my nerves are firing on all cylinders (Ha get it? Engineering, cylinders.. I'm hilarious.)

All I kept hearing about these transfer courses are the insane amount of work and pressure I'll be experiencing and it kinda psyched me out. Won't know until later this week how fast they go and what the workload will be like but fuck me I feel weird about the whole situation.

My parents began their journey back today and yeah I lived on my own before but now I'm far as fuck, so its almost new territory. Maybe I'm getting nervous for no reason, or maybe my gut is right and I have hell to look forward to. College didn't really force me to put 4 to 5 hours of work in each night and to be completely honest, I forget most of everything I learned there and it was only a couple months ago. Fuck.

Well, I know this wasn't the usual comedic post from the humour master himself, but I just had to get it off my chest.

Day 1 starts tomorrow and I am going to try to gather myself like a damn man and push through.

Thanks internet

Euroblog Part 7

This series ended up being far longer than I anticipated. I could make an ebook about my travels! Who am I kidding, no one would want to read that... let alone buy it. Also, side note: Polarsteps was so great up until a couple days ago when it went haywire and threw a bunch of phantom travel paths on my map. Support said it has been fixed however, there was no way to remove the phantom lines. This all makes for a ton of work for me to redo all of the travel steps. It's unfortunate but I understand these things happen. Anyway, it's all updated now and working as it should, sorry to my 7000  7 followers for any inconvenience. Now that it's all back to normal, here is the link if you'd like to check out my trip! If you missed any of the series, check it out on my social media feeds or on my blog homepage. The last post is right here! July 22 2017 Wow, am I ever behind on this. [Left off in Florence] So I went up the massive dome of the Florence Cathedral...

Tim Hortons: An In-depth Review

As I sit here pretending to be a scriptwriter at a budget Starbucks  Tim Hortons, feeling slightly out of place, I write this review. This will be an attempt at a new series on my blog, since I've been dry with ideas since returning to Canada. Tim Hortons is a Canadian classic coffee shop turned fast food restaurant while still retaining its coffeeshop status. Apparently, it used to be excellent until they changed coffee beans, but that was before my coffee drinking days so I and most people around my age probably feel the same (we don't feel anything about the changed beans). It also used to be cheap, but since high-status coffee shops like the aforementioned Starbucks and Second Cup somehow get away with charging 10$ for a drink, the friendly neighborhood Canadian brand jacks prices to compete. At least it still has its loyal customers. Fun fact, the first Tim's restaurant was in my hometown of Hamilton! It's also the usual go-to spot for a quick bathroom brea...

"Creative yet Clickbaity Title on Solar Energy!"

In the last post, I talked about what the Sun was. A giant nuclear fusion reactor. And since it is so good at being the Sun, it not only provides heat to our Earth, but also light. Lots of light. Hopefully, this isn't news to you (yikes!). Light is an interesting thing we very much take for granted. Look around, there is light in the room you're in, light coming from the screen you're reading this on (unless you're psycho and still print things..) and light from outside. Even at night! The light from the moon, isn't really light from the moon, but a reflection of light from the Sun. Did I just blow your mind? Probably not.. I guess I'm failing as a writer. There is a lot of light available, and all that light also carries energy, rather, it is energy. In reality, the light from your phone screen doesn't really have the potential to power anything, neither does a light bulb. But think about how many light bulbs it would take to equal the amount of light t...
