so yes, what a stressful week. i managed to do 2 chapters of statistics exercises in one night. argh. so yes, i had my statistics midterm today. there was definitely good news and bad news. The good news is that I managed to do okay (after comparing answers after the test), the bad news is that I completely had no idea that Chapter 8 was on the exam! I ended up studying the textbook during the examination (it was open book). Craziness. I was like majorly panicking!

As for my interview, it went well. Remember, I told ya guys that I switched interivew times with a friend of mine? Well, the CECS people did not notify the interviewer, and gave me this funny face when I went in.
“You must be John. Oh yes, I’m not Tiffany”
“Oh thank god, I thought perhaps you had a sex-change”
(I personally thought that comment was rather inappropriate. But whatever.) I again stumbled on some questions, but I felt more confident about this position, just because I’m more qualified in terms of my technical skills. I find guy interviewers very intimidating (even more so).

What else. Today is the beginning of the 30-Hour Famine at the Student Life Centre and buddy old Lizzie was in the Hip-Hop Club and performed at the Great Hall. They were excellent— and actually inspired me to perhaps take up the Club in the Summer term! I would join this term but with Imprint and Konja, it’s a little overwhelming.

I will be staying here this weekend in Waterloo, because I need to study for midterms. My grandmother has come back to Toronto (Today) and because of that, my sister has offically invaded my room. I feel so loved. :D It looks like I will be stay in Loo the following week as well, because Bowie is urging to stay since she is staying. Argh, I’m still pondering whether I can last 2 weeks. lol.

RANT DOSAGE

Do you know what pisses me off? Okay there is this person, we’ll call him “Bubba.” Bubba claims he is a really religious person— he is a Christian to be exact. Well, I think that it is great that maintains such a high level of faith in god— as sometimes, I wish I had the same. Anyways, we’ve had a lot of serious discussions on some common controversial matters about religion and again, I respect his views, as I do mine.

Getting to the point, he sometimes indirectly criticizes me for some of my “immoral” actions (e.g. using illegal software, etc) which I guess it’s fine, I realize that some of those actions are wrong. However, he himself does “immoral” things himself. Just the other day, Bubba mentions that he has a few assignments to finish this week. (And for once, he has some work). Basically, he ends up just getting assignments from his friends and copies them and then continues to distract other who actually do accomplish their own work. The nature of Bubba’s academic program, I can see can faciliate lots of assignment copying, but it not only pisses me off that he can get away with doing nothing (and distracting others), while I’m here, hibernating in my room all the time writing papers, studying for midterms etc. I understand, nobody’s perfect, he’s human like others— what really bugs me is this criticism he has on me, and how he is doing exactly the same thing and continues to portray this “I’m so good, I believe in God” persona. It’s really irritating.

In some funny news: The Globe and Mail has out a new University ranking issue. Waterloo was ranked 9th in Canada for graduate studies in law, 8th in medicine and 8th in business. The funny thing is that UW does not have a Law, Medicine and Business Program!!! Have a great weekend, all.
