Skoll Here we come!!
Yesterday was quite an exciting day for me...I found out that I have been accepted to the Rotman School of Business at U of T for their joint MBA/Engineering program. Whoohoo =) I'm actually really excited about the program and can't wait to start it even though I don't technically start my MBA until Sept of 2005. Things are all falling into place and my life is actually quite perfect right now =). At least I know what I'll be doing until 2007 =)

On a side note, CONGRATS to Adriane for also getting into the program!

Now I need a thesis..
So Dr. Paradi released his thesis projects on Monday and after talking to Adriane, we have selected our topic. We're still waiting to see if we got the project because it's on a first come first serve basis, but if all things go well, we'll be doing our thesis with TD Financial Group!!! =) Adriane and I didn't have a difficult time deciding on a topic....it only took 30 minutes for us to narrow it down to 3 out of the 20 topics provided....now if that's not productive, I don't know what is =)


Things left to do..
Now that I know I'm in the MBA program here are a list of things I need to sort out before going back to school in September:
-Finalize Thesis topic and discuss timelines
-Talk to Engineering Academic Advisor as to what courses I need to maximize my engineering course load according to the CEAB
-Look into potential graduate scholarships and OSAP funding (apparently if you are 5 years out of high school, you're considered an independant and can get some OSAP money from the government irrespective of what income your parents make)
-Update Resume
-Buy thank you gifts for my referees (Julie, Kim, Greg, & Amy)

I know this is probably not interesting to most of you guys but I needed to write it down so that I don't forget to do it. You know how life is....way too busy =)

Baby is born!!
So on Monday, Chris (Selene's oldest sister) had her baby girl so congrats to Chris and Lou. Boy do they produce healthy, cute babies....did I mention that they are cute??? Elena's already sharp as a tack and cute as a button and she's only 3!!! I can't wait to go visit Chris and the baby...maybe this weekend.....

So I often wonder if I'd be a good father...parenting is such a difficult thing to do and comes so natural to some people. I absolutely adore kids but does that mean I would be a good father? I hope so. Kids are amazing this to watch as they grow up. Just looking at Selene's nieces and nephews, it's astonishing how they've changed and how much they know. Anyways, if you guys have a moment, I'd love to hear your perspective on having kids...as well as...do you think I'd be a good father?

That's it for now..have a great week!
