Shall not be outblogged

Hey

Someone had to stop the row of postings, and i just figured i had to be the one since the other two haven't posted in a while.

Let's see... just working 2 days this week; thursday and saturday. Was suppose to work tuesday, but couldn't. So yah... my pay will be significantly lower than last time. Oh well... it's not about the money... ahem..

Don't know whether to drop physics or anthro or none. Right now it's none... but when i have physics i wanna drop it coz i don't get anything... and anthro in a long run won't be good when i have to hand in my culminating activity worth 15% of my final mark. If i don't drop anything, i won't be able to have enough time to concentrate on pulling my lowest grade up. I already had one spare though... so if i drop one more course i'll just be down to 6 courses for universities to choose from. Basically, if i don't drop any courses this semestered, I hafta get all four courses above 73% which is my calc mark. Unless they count mark as one of the 6 since it may be a compulsory course and they may just count it. I don't know how universities work.

I finally bought something from work though. Yay perogies. I never ate them before until thursday. It's not bad... should've ate them while they were hot, but oh well. However, for the price that swiss chalet sells them... dunt think it's worth it. 5ish dollars for 8ish perogies?... You can buy a full meal with that amount of money. Luckily, I work there and was on my shift 'cept i was taking a break so i had my 50% discount! yay! finally took advantage of one thing. That kinda made up for the loss of a few cents from buying guitar strings from walters music store where i could've used my employees discount for stc there. Boo... I blame unknownuser for not reminding me since he was the last one to look at it.

Oh yah! and when we went to stc last saturday with unknownuser, this guy basically told me not to buy a certain drink from their shop. He was like "It's not sweet... you won't like it, try something else". I couldn't show my emotions coz it would've caused problems but wth? Number one, i tried it before already and i liked it (although not from their particular branch). Number two, dude... customers are always right. If you want profit, don't tell me stuff like that. I'm just like "ok, fine... I just won't buy anything from you at all then" in my head... of course. Just weird. it was kool that he was looking out for me... but this is like stereotyping me or something. Just coz i'm young doesn't mean i want everything sweet (which i probably do). He doesn't know me... how does he know if i want something sweet or want a nice tea?

So tired. I have to read 300 pages in... 2 days now. I should read a bit tonight. Shouldn't really be posting now. Ok, will post again when jonathan is on his blog take over rampage post-a-thon again.

considering getting a job

lately, with so much free time on my hands i've been considering getting a part time job. problems i forsee is a) my lack of job experience, hence a quite blank resume. b) location, i live on the quietest street with not many places to apply to.

- turned 18 on the 18th it was a good day to have a birthday, have yet to use the privileges of being 18 yet.

- searching acoustic versions of songs on youtube, and since most are usually live, it sounds much better and shows which artists are actually really good, or just have the money to buy better recording and editing devices for their albums.

- finding out that the library is actually a very quiet place to study. too quiet maybe, once it gets past 2 hours, my head actually hurts from working.

- watching hockey playoffs, its sad how i actually have the time to at least watch some hockey every day, there are just too many games on, with at least somethign on each night. so wish the leafs were in so they at least could fill up a week of my time, before they lose in the first round.

- heroes returns on april 23,

Accepted

So i've recently got into my first two choices uft and waterloo engineering and yet i'm still not at all that happy. just relieved i guess. It was stressful leading up to it, but once it came, i dont know... but i jsut started to feel lazy... marks dont even really matter anymore as long as i can maintain it. end of the year exams that are worth alot of our marks still scare me though,

one last day

i'm tired, i feel like posting, but i dont have time, bye

vow of silence

last friday/sat i did the vow of silence to raise money to build a school in africa. for 24 hours, i wasnt supposed to talk. from 3-10 on friday and 8:45-3 on sat i stayed in school where there were in school quiet activites to give us something to do but more importantly to monitor us to make sure we kept quiet. the first one hour of it or so is pure torture, everything moves so slowly when you cant talk. Writing things down on paper was done alot but it is a very slow substitute. You eventually have a basic grasp of reading lips and made up hand signals. After a while it does become something that you expect.
Somewhere during the long period of time that we were in school, we watched blood diamond which actually was a really good movie but it also related to the cause that we were contributing to. And they didnt tell us this til the very end when we watched a cnn documetry relating the events in it to what is really happening. So it all made sense at the end which i thought was quite cool as there was actually a point of the activites during that day. and talking once we finished was a very good feeling.

april... 12? sometime around that marks are due to university. I want that day to pass already! teachers arent getting any easier and my marks are falling slightly due to the many different assignments and tests that we have so frequently. stupid semestered schools, i'm sure they are feeling exactly the same way that they felt in december. After the marks go in, i forsee some classes getting smaller and smaller due to people not wanting to show up because they have gotten in already... and that list is quite long of the people whove gotten in... they arent cool... nothing to worry about, no more waiting? why cant engineering make decisions sooner, earliest is april but it could be as late as may? at least a month or more wait for me which is tough.

now i would like to proove why my data teacher is so bad. The way he marks and takes of marks for spelling and grammer in a data course already would have been enough to classify him as one of those *bad teachers that you wouldn't want. Even his teaching style, which is to not teach and get students to go to the board and explain it to the class makes it worse. But the data assignments he gives out? first of all we had to make a math jumble, that game in the newspaper, where you unscramble letters to make words which eventually leads up to a unscrambling a really long word to solve the riddle, well we had to make one of those. but now, "Find a mathmatical mistake in the newspaper". . . . .
what? that has to win the award for the worst assignment? newspapers dont make mistakes very often, and 60 students in both his classes are all supposed to find a different one?

looking for a way to do something with an mp4 file, its a movie, i cant read it, anyone have a program to view it or change its format? all the ones from google are all demos that need cracks which i'm too lazy to find.
