What's your one word?
Last week, at my Critical Thinking class (yes, I'm taking yet another one), the presenter asked each of us to do one thing. Give her our name and one word that describes ourselves. We've all been asked to describe ourselves before, but never in one word, or at least I never have ( Read more... ) -
If you ever had any doubt that I'm stubborn....
This semester, I decided to take a critical thinking course that has been recommended to grad students (by grad students) here at USask. Given the number of critical thinking courses that I've taken in the past, why should I take another? It sounded like it was fun and interesting so I gave it at shot ( Read more... ) -
Problem with Touch Screen Phones
In my previous post, I asked for people's opinions between the Pre, iPhone, Win 7 Phone, and Android. Well, I was given an android phone for free from a friend so that kinda solves that problem. There's no doubt that smart phones are cool and touch screens are even cooler. The apps are great and really, these phones can make life a lot easier and ( Read more... ) -
Comprehensive, check. What's next?
If you could have seen me on Thursday, you would have noticed how very stressed out I was. Thursday was not a good day. Why? Because I had to prepare for my comprehensive exam! That involves a 20 minute presentation and then 2 rounds of questions that could last about 2 hours. That's a LOT of questions ( Read more... ) -

iPhone, Pre, Win 7, or Android?
I've had my phone for over 3 years now and the battery life is starting to die on me. Since I will be switching cell phone providers in June, I'm thinking of getting a new phone at the same time. I'm not really up-to-date with all the new technology so I thought I'd see what your opinions are. So, the options are iPhone 3 (I don't like the look/ ( Read more... ) -
Gantt Chart Frustrations
I know it's been a really long time since I've had to create a Gantt chart but I don't remember being this frustrated making it before. Mind you, it's possible that we got Dave to do it back then, which is why I don't remember it being so frustrating. But tonight, I had to make one to plan out the next year of my life in preparation of completing ( Read more... ) -
Yummy cupcakes
A while ago, I saw an ad in the paper for a new cupcake store in Saskatoon. It's called The Cupcake Conspiracy. They also advertised that they were nut-free so given Tina's allergies, I wanted to go try it out ( Read more... ) -
New Toy! in all its pink glory
Today, I received my new ASUS 1005PE Netbook, just in time for my business trip to Italy. And as you've guessed from the subject of this post, it's pink! hahaha. Why in the world would I pick such a strange colour for a computer, you ask? Well, I looked at all of the options available to me (which included black, blue, white, deep red, navy blue, ( Read more... ) -
Help me choose
I'm thinking of getting a laptop skin again. I can't really decide which one to get so I'm hoping to get people's opinions.
