Hudson wasn’t joking when she said that mathmaticians are lazy. The math department is the only department that I know of that gets their marks from an amount of evaluations that I can count on my fingers. Look at the sciences: they have labs and quizzes frequently and there’s an occassional test. Look at the arts: they have plenty of different kinds of assignments that come frequently as well. Not math. Nope. You get eight tests and an exam and no amount of asking can change that. (more…)

I have spent the past few days adding more newness to my site. First up is another alternate style, which I have dubbed “Classy Print.” Basically, it’s serif fonts all over the place. Times and Georgia explosion!! Also, while messing around with stylesheets, I managed to fix the problems with the metadata and comment form column in the single post view. The result is the effect known as ‘elastic.’ (more…)

Well, crap. This is the time when I’m not supposed to be messing up like this. I’m quite worried about this year now. Already, I’ve started it horribly. The thing is, these things are out of my control. There’s nothing I can do to remedy these things. In music, I got a 75 on one assignment because I wasn’t detailed enough in my brief explanation of something. In English, I got a 70 for an assignment because of a few minor things, each worth about 5-10%. Then, in calculus, on a test that I knew almost everything I was doing, I get 77 because of several minor mistakes (labelling, signs, etc.).

Am I screwed or what?

Contrary to popular belief, we did not get lost at Union Station as was prophesied. Or rather, I didn’t get lost. Everyone else did. For instance, at Bloor-Yonge, the Bloor platform is the one down the middle. The Yonge platform is split up. In their eagerness to catch the Yonge train, everyone else went up to the Northbound platform while I shouted at them. Then, at Union, they pointed at the sign that said “Skywalk” with an authoritative looking arrow. I pointed at the nearby stairs where all the people with Ryerson bags were coming down. (more…)
