Thoughts.
I've finished with World of Warcrack for at least the next 6 months, as of 5am last Friday. Given my propensity for playing that game to death, this should give me a ludicrous amount of time to work on all of the things I've been neglecting for the past few months. I suspect I'll be back though. I just have too much investment in it, have too many friends through it, and enjoy it too much. Sigh.
Speaking of work, I am continuously astounded by how much WORK a Masters is. I don't even have a thesis picked out yet, I have to RESEARCH THE ENTIRE FIELD to figure out what I want to DO before I can do that. >_<
The Provincial election is over, and I find myself cautiously optimistic about the result. As Brad Wall got in by basically watering down his entire platform and nearly flat-out stating to "Not worry, he wouldn't do anything crazy", the scary parts of the Sask Party should be completely buried. I'm no political science major, but it seems that doing things that would upset the majority of your voters is a BAD move, and the Sask Party knows that. Hopefully this will be healthy for Saskatchewan.
It seems that I am going to be the President of the Computer Science Students Society in January, if our past president doesn't magically find the time to take on the duties. Oh, and I thought I was just signing up for a general executive position this summer. THIS isn't scary at all.
It's kinda odd, how much the enrollment for Computer Science has dropped recently. We need to make sure that the 1st and 2nd year students know we exist, and that the 3rd and 4th know that we haven't died in a fire. And now, since no one else wants to (or in some cases, can) take any responsibility at all, it falls to me. Awesome.
