Life is good. I can't complain. + </i> + <br> <br> + <img src="/images/articles/IMG_3080.jpg"> + <br> + <b>Regina Community Fridge Project</b> + <br> + <i>From left to right: Vincent, Me (Peter), Boh, and Adam</i> + <br> <br> + Kept you waitin', huh? + <br> <br> + Welcome back. It really has been a while, hasn't it? I've missed you, friend. And now I'm back, and exactly + where I want to be. + <br> <br> + For those who don't know, I've moved west. Onto the great green shores of British Columbia, where things are + popping. To commemorate the occasion, I've changed my description on all the pages from "Apprentice + carpenter, hobbyist programmer and mostly average high + school graduate" to something a little bit fresher, a little bit sweeter. I truly hope you'll enjoy it. + <br> <br> + My summer was great -- thanks for asking 😊. I had a swell time with brothers (close enough) and friends and + family, but that's + all over. We, and I mean WE, are LOCKED IN. First-year engineering student Peter Nguyen. That whole little + thing with the framing.. and the bleakness.. and the working.. it's all over! Honestly, I forgot how much + school meant to me. I can sit real schizo-like typing stuff in my room, alone. + <br> <br> + Don't worry, I know what you're thinking. "Peter, what happened to the army thing that you discussed at + length in your previous blog posts?" To that, I say this: I am allergic to walnuts, and there have been + complications. But it isn't over yet. Far from it. Regardless, I am kind of preoccupied with a one-year + lease and a suite in a house with chill roommates. Young professional type deal, you dig? + <br> <br> + I'm here, going to lecture, figuring things out, and starting work again. I know, I know. You're going to + say: "Peter, you're crazy! Engineering AND a job?" To that, I say: I literally cannot afford this without + working on the side. Thankfully, being a CATSA SOF Certified Screening Officer is also valuable in Victoria, + BC. I was worried for a minute that all these moving parts were going to come undone. Granted, things have + not picked up too much. Have faith, though. Come on. You're on my blog, reading my work, and you want to be + like that 😞. + <br> <br> + Vincent would probably want me to mention something about the drive we made here, so here's the section + where I talk about driving to Victoria. I drove from Regina to Victoria, over the course of a few days. Took + the ferry across, and it was awesome. Honestly, not as painful as I had figured. Lots of coffee and fast + food was involved, but I've since burned that all off. We're on rations now. + <br> <br> + And now I'm here, and hopeful. Things are finally looking up, and I'm so glad. If you had faith in me, then + thanks. It really means a lot. If you didn't have faith: I have some strong words for you. Contact me at <a + class="inline-link" href="mailto:petendotca@protonmail.com">petendotca@protonmail.com</a>. + <br> <br> + TLDR: Moved to Victoria, started university. Studying hard with a newfound appreciation for school. + Reflecting on a pretty eventful summer. Worrying (probably as I should) about money and rent. Keeping busy, + and doing my best to be out here. + <br> <br> + Anyways, I think that's about it. + <br> <br> + I'm sure there'll be more to come throughout the year. + <br> <br> + Your friend, Peter. + </p> + </main> + + + </div> + + <footer class="footer"> + Copyright Peter Nguyen <span id="copyright-year"></span>.
