No, New Term’s plans! In my internet travels, I came across a salient comment (probably on Lifehacker or something) that advised one to make plans vs. resolutions, come January 1st. I’d agree that when someone makes a “resolution”, particularly a New Year’s one, it seems almost destined to fail because it is socially acceptable, even [...] Continue reading →

It seems to be becoming a BlogSquad tradition to do these wrap-up things… I’ll admit, whether out of sympathy or a common suffering, I love reading them. As I’ve said about a zillion times in the past, this hasn’t been the greatest term for me. However, the grades were finally released yesterday (most of them, [...] Continue reading →

I am a bit ashamed that I’m already behind on my second Things I Love Thursday post, but a Friday exam and a Saturday full of desperate house-cleaning and a dinner party kept me firmly away from the internet… torture indeed for a computer science student.

I’ve just finished a 30-minute stretch of practice finals and am luxuriating in my 15-minute break. (Might have to do this current post in stints, actually.)

I got a kitten! His name is Puzzle. I dropped out of honours math… … and subsequently decided to not carry on with honors computer science as a major. I have no doubt in my mind that this was the right decision, and a conversation with my favourite professor confirmed that. I’m loving school again, [...] Continue reading →

I hope that everyone is managing to survive the inevitable onslaught both of midterms and rain- neither of which seem to stop until Christmas time! (Well… I suppose it’s fair to say that the rain continues right through to June, but I’m not complaining. Rain is my favourite.) My week, academic-wise, has consisted of a [...] Continue reading →

I’m currently sitting in ICICS, both dreading my meeting with my honors math prof and wishing time would hurry up so I could get it over with. I have another assignment due tomorrow for this class… these assignments, which are worth a little over 1% of our final grade, are composed entirely of proving things [...] Continue reading →
