While being in the Co-op program at the University of Waterloo may have it's benefits (beefed up resume, higher paying jobs, etc), it also means that every couple years I have to be in school during the summer. Which I am now.

As thousands of kids flocked back to school yesterday for the first day of school, I sat at home watching The Office while medicated after having my wisdom teeth taken out.  But you've already heard those...
