5 Things you probably don’t know about me
I was tagged by Dan McWeeney, a great guy I met at SAP TechEd '06. Here goes: 1. In elementary school I was a pretty big band geek. I even went to a week-long York Region band camp (of sorts) which culminated in performances for our parents and on Centre Island in Toronto. Not just once, but twice! - in grades 7 and 8. Nothing wrong with a week off school in May, that's for sure. Until grade 10 I played baritone (BC), trombone and trumpet. 2. I've never broken a bone but I've sprained both of my ankles. *knock knock*. I have no allergies. In grade 13/OAC I was in the hospital for a week because of complications with mono, missed my brother's wedding and couldn't play football that year. 3. I'm becoming a big history buff but I've always watched a lot of documentaries. I'll often drive around Ottawa, checking out historical places. 4. I really enjoy watching cooking shows but I don't cook. But until recently I did not have a subscription to The Food Network. 5. I attended 12 semesters of university because I switched programs late: from Computer Engineering to Software Engineering. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. That time spanned seven fall semesters and I attended five engineering frosh weeks (only one as a frosh of course). I did 6 co-op work terms instead of the usual 4. I tag Aurora, Jim, Roy, Andrew and Travis. Get at 'er! Posted at December 21, 2006 at 05:12 PM ESTLast updated December 21, 2006 at 05:12 PM EST Comments
