The holiday started with the mandatory office Holiday event - a trip to the local curling arena. A quick lesson and a few practice curls later, I was on my way to victory over the boss with my team. Curling is fun. Curling hurts parts of your body you didn't know you had, but it doesn't hurt them until a day or two after the event. But it is ( Read more... )

It's December and I've got a bad case of the "I've had it with school" blahs. Thank God I struggled through the past 3 weeks and fought this off, cuz it was coming early this year. But now I'm in it full-swing. I've got 1 assignment, 1 essay, and 1 exam to go. Not much, but too much for my ambition at the moment. I have less than no drive ( Read more... )

Seems it's been awhile since I got my lil fingers tapping anything out on here. There's so much to review that I'm not even going to bother with the usual summing-up, I shall just rant ( Read more... )

Today was a very successful academic day. I was again, one of the only two people in my seminar to speak. This infuriates me, but at the same time is getting me good marks. TA told us that if we're the only people ever talking, at least we're getting 100% for participation. Which is true, but still. I have come to agree with the university ( Read more... )
