Hey kids!! It's been awhile, as per usual. So here's what's been going on lately: On Saturday we went to watch a rugby game, Trent vs. Carleton. Since we have no football team, everyone supports rugby instead, and by everyone, I mean less than 100 people. Yeah, sports sure are big here at Trent. Anyways, it was a good game, made only better by the fact that it had been raining so much that the field was completely mud. Carleton started out white, and Trent started out green... by the end it was brown vs brown. When guys got tackled, they would slide for several feet before coming to a stop. My favourite moment was when some one yelled out "Tackle low. They run with their legs." That's right Carleton, we figured out your crazy strategy... As to the final result, Carleton definitely beat us 3 tries to 1. I would write that as a score, but I have no idea how much a try is worth. Oh well. Good fun.
Other than that, I spent this entire weekend doing a Canadian Studies project that is commonly known as "the devil," only to find out when I handed it in last night, that since our seminar leader hadn't been 'clear' on his late policy, we could hand them in without penalty anytime until Friday. Grrr.
Right now I should be working on the calculus assignment that's due tomorrow, but it makes no sense and it's frustrating me. This stuff doesn't even look like calculus... We've been here a month and there hasn't even been a hint of a derivative anywhere. And one of the 'smart kids' just stopped by to explain the parts of the assignment that normal people don't understand, and it still doesn't make any sense... I think his way of doing it was definitely illegal. I'm pretty sure I'll be lucky to get 50% on this assignment.
Beyond that, I've discovered that the sketchy kid who lives next door to me has a livejournal... That's kinda crazy. He should comment on this, so you guys can see what kind of people I have to deal with.
I suppose I'll get back to my assignment now, and anyone out there who knows anything about the epsilon-delta and the epsilon-N definitions of limits, please call: (705) 875-9316. Thanks.
