Now that I'm back at Waterloo, things are depressing again. I have to resume to studying for my mythology midterm tomorrow. I read through everything already, but I feel like I can still crams one more minor details in, just incase.

Lucky Brother.
Today wasn't eventful as I spent most of the time traveling back to Waterloo. I went to my bank this morning to start a new Tax-free savings account. Since I have extra money, I might as well earn some interest (also to prevent me from spending a lot of money). Our family had dim sum at the plaza since my grandpa didn't have a Mahjong date. When we got back, Patchi received a nice surprise from Waterloo. At first, we thought that the mail was about the Student 101 event in July or August (or it could've been a rejection letter, you never know!). When Patchi first opened it, he was relieved because it started out as "I am happy...". But as he read on, he realized that he received an accounting scholarship for $5k! I didn't believe him so I took his letter and read it. It was true! He just received a major University of Waterloo scholarship! My mom and my grandpa were in shocked because his marks weren't stellar. We went online to check out what kind of scholarship it was and what were the requirements. Apparently, only two people from the 3 accounting programs (AFM, Math/CA, Biotech/CA) and computing financial management program are eligible for this scholarship. Man, he is the luckiest person I've ever known!
