Yesterday night, for the

1st time since I arrived to Edmonton, I was truly happy of being here.

You could see it in the smile of my face and eyes, but mostly, I bet that if you could see "auras" you would have seen mine glowing so freaking happy. He he he.

Really, there have been some truly great times down here, sadly enough, most of them are not be documented (and I honestly feel they won't). Great people, great laughs, great views... Etc. But for the 1st time it all made sense.

It made sense to have left everything behind, my pretty darn cool job, my great friends, nice family, and my awesome girlfriend...

I was working in the AMMI Lab on this program called Virtools, for a project in Virtual Reality in which I may be able to help. And well, I was working with a girl that has a pretty cool project, well all of a sudden they all started to make plans to go get some drinks and have a bit of fun. Then they invited me along!... He he he.

You see, I am just going there once in a while, to start feeling like a part of something interesting, but I am not really in just yet. All my school work keeps me from doing all those fun things!. But still, I am starting to meet and get along with the people working in the Lab... So, I tagged along!.

It made me smile to see that Walter (my Neuroscience teacher) and Pierre (the head of the Lab) were going too!, he he he... I loved realizing that those two are not only knowledgeable and great teachers, but they have a pretty cool sense of humor!.

We went to a small coffee house, it had beers from all over the world, coffee and cake, etc. Nice and cozy. Conversation kept flowing for over 4 hours... I noticed the feel of the lab, how they all get along, and it felt great. As well I talked with some of them about their projects, heard them talking about it, and it just kept sending chills down my spine and waves of excitement!.

... Really... It all made sense in there, while looking at Walter (this knowledgeable white haired man) being fun and goofy with a little Kid, Pierre giving advice on beer, and people from all over the world teasing each other and just smiling... People working with great projects involving multimedia, visualization, virtual worlds, and so many cool things!.

... Sigh...

I will do my best in hanging into this sense of excitement about it all.

CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!....
