Hi Nick, 
-=> Quoting Nick Sitter to Jason Wong on 08-13-92  19:54 <=-
 
 NS> relationship. Interesting about your brother. :-) How old is he?
 NS> Does he use the computer as well? You and he must be able to talk
 NS> about quite a lot, eh? Or, do you find you're too similar for that?
My brother is 15. Yeah, he likes the computer too. He likes all the BBS's 
that I've joined and the online games. We get along real well considering
we're brothers. He's not really afraid to talk to me about anything. 
Probably because I talk to him at his level, and probably because we 
understand each other so well! Since we like the same things, we spend
a lot of time talking about it. Even though we're like good buddies, he
still has repect for me and he does listen to me when I tell him something
is wrong with his behaviour. This may be even MORE surprising since I'm 23
yrs old. Perhaps it's because I still remember what it was like at his age
and so I can still relate with him.

 NS> I'm not sure what I want to do after that. I've thought of so many
 NS> things, but which one really appeals to me? That's the impossible
Have you thought about teaching? 

 NS> question! Oh well. One of these days, I'll decide. So you're going
 NS> into radiation  therapy. That sounds interesting. What made you decide
 NS> to choose that field? Are there lots of jobs you can have after? I
I originally wanted to go into medicine and come out to practice in a 
small town. However, I couldn't get into medical school. So... I decided to
go with an alternative...Radiation Therapy (RT). My basic motivation is to 
provide care to people who needs it, especially in the health care area. 
RT is in great demand at this time. From what I've been told, the Cancer 
Centre here in Hamilton had been recruiting Radiation Therapists from
overseas to fill positions. So, upon graduation, Radiation Therapists are
pretty well garanteed a job. In fact, the States had offered some of our
Therapists $48000 /yr. along with other benefits. I think that's pretty good.
However, I think I'll stay in Canada since I don't really like the Health
Care system in the States.

 NS> the push of society and employers today. Alas, no dice, for me. :-)  So
 NS> what sorts of things are you interested in? I like reading: sci fi,
 NS> fantasy and mystery; writing poetry and short stories; music of almost
 NS> all types, except heavy metal, rap, most modern Rock, soft rock,
 NS> techno-pop, Blues. I also love anything to do with water: waterskiing,
 NS> canoeing, swimming. In some ways, I'm pretty well-rounded, as far as
 NS> interests go. I'm finding new areas of interest each day.  Oh, I also
 NS> love cooking. I consider cooking to be just as much art as painting.
 NS> The only difference is that, instead  of paints, I use spices. Instead
 NS> of canvas, I use meat, fruit, vegetables . . . Well, chow. :-)
My interests? Well... I like most sports (except golf). I especially like
tennis. Reading? Well...I hate to admit this to an English major...but 
reading novels is not one of my favourite pastimes. I prefer reading magazines
such as Popular Science and PC-Magazine. However, I do wish that I  had 
developed the habit of reading novels. I think that could have given me more
of a "Creative" side (and probably could've helped to improve my grammar!).
I do play a little bit of piano....actually, before I graduated from 
highschool, I had reached grade 9 in piano. I just got too busy with school
work and neglected to continue with piano. I like classical music and 
most modern rock and soft rock. My favourite musical artists are (of course)
Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Pachabel <sp> on the classical side, and Amy Grant,
Billy Joel, Phil Collins on the modern rock side. I like some '50 's music
too. Water sports? Well....I can't swim very well. :] I graduated from a 
sinker to a bob back in highschool. And cooking? I'm a disaster when it comes
to cooking. My mom won't let me even try because I do such a bad job. I think
she should let me learn. Oh well....maybe when I'm on my own.

Anyways, I gotta go....I've got a baseball banquet that I have to go to. I'll
TTYL.
