So fellas... who likes Popsicles?
Anyways, I figure I might as well do the whole name game thing, as I don't know any of you personally (I think), never made a formal introduction of myself in the first place, and I can't think of anything much better to talk about.
My name is Matthew Bailey. I'm an 18 year old highschool graduate currently working through the paperwork needed to start the recruitment process into the Canadian Forces. For those of you that wanna know, I would like to drive tanks, however a field engineer would be good.
Ultimately, maybe 3 or 8 years down the road (when the military contracts are up) I would like to leave the military and begin training to become an architect. Why not dive into architecture right now? I don't have the grades, and I'm not exactly the most wealthy person on earth. Not like the military will help much... it all depends on my spending habits while I live on base.
Once out of the forces, I hope to begin studying Architecture at the University of Manitoba. Finally upon completing that I hope to move back to Vancouver and someday down the road get enough experience to be able to add my own little bit of flair to our wonderful skyline. (I promise not to go crazy about height.
)
PS. I'm from the Hamlet of Fanny Bay, BC, on the east coast of Vancouver Island. I lived in the lower mainland for the first seven years of my life, and have since spent an average of two months per year there visiting ever since. It's home to me, even if I don't live there anymore.
