I've
been fairly busy as of late. I have assignments, a paper, and
midterms all over the place. My week goes as follows. Tuesday I have
a computer science midterm, wednesday I have a stats assignments,
thursday I have a math assignment, and friday I have an english major
paper. Now this might seem like plenty of time to finish all that but
throw in work on wednesday, thursday, and friday! That leaves me with
time on Tuesday night to finish stats, math, and my paper. It looks
like I might have to do some school work at some unusual hours. Such
as before school, and at night. For me I have never done school work
before I went to school so that might be a shocker for me. Well then,
next week I have nothing due but supposidly I am going to be working
30 hours! If only I had more hours in a day.

Today
at school I wrote my Math midterm. It went alright I think. I
shouldn't get much of anything wrong. There was one question that I
think was a little sketchy. The only thing that I don't really like
about the test was that it was out of 40. So if I get 2 questions
wrong thats like 8 out of 40 or like 20percent! But I should do fine.
. I still have to do my English major paper thats due next wednesday.
This should be a very hard thing for me to do since you have to do
some research and I haven't researched anything yet. On Tuesday next
week I have a Computer Science midterm. I'm not quite sure what to
expect.
Today I bought the Indiana Jones DVD collection box
set thing. It looks good!

I
had some good times at work recently. I have been training in Home
Electronics and so far its been fun. At school though it hasn't been
much fun. I have been swamped with work and assignments. In computer
science I handed in another assignment in Math I have a midterm on
Thursday. In Film I have a midterm on Wednesday. I have a major
research essay due in English. I also have a Computer Science midterm
next Tuesday. Not to mention another Stats midterm in a week or two.
So it is a busy time of year! I can't wait till midterms are over and
back to an easy time at school.

On
Thursday I had a good day at school. In math i got back an assignment
and guess what 30/30 and then in computer science another 100%. It
sure was a good day. Next up in my list of things to do it so finish
the next Computer Science assignment for Tuesday. It shouldn't be all
that difficult. It is two questions dealing with classes and sorts
lists.
If you are in need of a good song to listen to try
Clokx - Clocks. It is a trance remix of Coldplay's Clocks except no
vocals. Oh if you haven't heard of Coldplay go listen to that too.
For those out there that want some good bass stuff check out Zombie
Nation's Absorber cd. I downloaded it a while ago and it is still a
great cd to listen to.

Today
I had my training for working a till. I'm still not 100% at it and I
might be a little slow but I'm learning. I sure hope that when I work
in Home Entertainment I don't end up having lots of customers who buy
all sorts of weird things. For me the complicated stuff is rainchecks
and By the way I hate the High 5 program! Don't ask its just gay. Oh
well I gotta do what I gotta do. I found what I think to be a funny
quote.

creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." --Albert

Well
the weekend is over and tomorrow we return to school. My weekend was
uneventful and boring. But thats alright by me. It just gave me some
time to sit around and watch some tv and do some homework. In last
weeks Stats exam I think I got a 95%. It was that easy!Tomorrow is
the big day at work. I will get my till training and then I will be
able to work at Home Entertainment.
Today the Riders beat the
Stamps 24-22 which cliched the Riders a playoff spot. Also, the Leafs
tied Washington 2 - 2. Thats a big turn around from Saturdays
crushing 4 - 0 defeat to Montreal.
09-10-03
Well
the time has come. The time I'm talking about is Thanksgiving. This
is one of the only holdidays I get for the entire semester from
school. But before I get to go on a holiday I must write one midterm.
This midterm is in Stats 151. This midterm will involve Probabilty ;
Z-scores ; Means, Medians and Modes. It shouldn't be that bad but who
knows. I'm getting ready for anything. In work news I am moving from
stock to a split role of Stock and Home Entertainment. Should be some
fun times. I can't wait since I've been gettin bored of doing the
same thing for a long time. Also I wouldnl't mind switching to Home
Entertainment because winter is coming and that means getting carts
from out in the snow. I did that last year and it is a lot of
work.
Alright, everyone rejoice. Hockey season is among us
once again. Hockey is the best game on ice. I can't wait to sit back
and watch 100's of games throughout the season. On Thanksgiving
monday the riders are at home and it should be a great game. I'm
going to try to be there since it should be a lot of fun.
07-10-03
Today
I got my first computer science assignment. I'm not sure if I read it
correctly but it says 93. I was in shock. If you want to see my code
I put it in the school stuff. In other news. .
DAVIS RECALLED
- SCHWARZENEGGER WINS . . am I glad I got that out of way. But really
I won't be affected by this recall at all seeing as how I'm not
American nor from California. The N-Gage was realeased today by
Nokia. I'm interested in it but thought I might as well mention it.
In news that I actually sort of care about. . The Canadian dollar
broke a seven year high on the American dollar. It surged about the
75 cent mark. Yeah nothing much of anything interesting has
been happening lately. I haven't been having much in the way of
midterms yet theres always next week. Work is always a fun time,
although now that I'm in school I haven't been working as much. Oh
well, I guess their hinting to me that I better study.
06-10-03
Well
I officially finished my Computer Science assignment and I feel so
relaxed. Yesterday night I polished off my English assignment. Did
you know that by changing words using a thesaurus it can make your
writing look professional? The computer science assignemnt ended up
taking forever. . all day saturday, sunday , and now monday! With the
exception of 3 hours for my English essay I haven't done anything in
the past 3 days. Good thing the UPS
guy came today with Family
Guy Volume 2, Ferris
Bueller's Day off, and Wayne's
World. Then tomorrow Lion
King. It should be a relaxed next couple of days!
For
those that haven't seen it yet, there is a video of the home shopping
channel and some guy it testing out a ladder that is for sale and . .
I don't want to ruin it. Get it here. Another
funny joke off Ebaumsworld. Have you ever swallowed Sea
water?
Leafs beat Detroit yesterday 4 - 2 in their final
preseaon matchup.
05-10-03
I
sure do hate assignments. Right now I'm working on an english essay
and a computer science assignment. The computer science assignment is
taking forever to finish. I have been working on it for I'd say 10
hours. And I'm only almost done 1 of the 2 questions. This sure is a
lot of work. The english essay is on Romeo and Juliet. I have to do
some sort of essay on the first act and whether I think that
Shakespeare did a good job at introducing the book. I have to hurry
and finish all this work since the essay is due monday and the cs
assignment is due tuesday!! Looks like I'm going to not leaving this
chair for a long time.
02-10-03
Are
books really worth it? I ask myself this question now that I have
paid for my books. Luckily i didn't pay that much for all my books.
But is the money i paid equal in value to the quality of the writing
in the books? I probably will only read parts of the books and then
when I'm done with them I will have the choice to either keep them in
the chance i might use them again or should I sell them? If I sell
them another person will come along and only pay me part of what I
had paid. What if the university provided books like back in high
school? Now, wouldn't that be convienent and cheaper? Well enough
about books.
School is going pretty good. . . other than that
last film test. I sure hope I get 30percent since I didn't do all
that well. In math I'm having a good easy time. Stats again a good
easy time. English , well I was never all that strong in English.
Computer Science. . I have an assignment due on tuesday, these
assignments are some of the hardest things I have ever done when it
comes to programming. I pictured CS as a fairly easy class but this
stuff is so complicated and specific. There is very little leeway
when it comes to the proper spelling and capitalization of commands.
An example is Int isn't the same as int.
Like come on whats the big deal? Well anyway I just plan on getting
the assignment done and for it to run correctly.
Can't wait
till October 11th, Leafs season opener at the ACC.
28-09-03
Alright
I lost all my old updates to my webpage so thats why they're gone.
Since they're old updates it doesn't matter if their gone.
Well
university has started up and its been fun. I have a fun time going
to classes and sitting on the bench when I'm not in class. For those
who don't know what I'm talking about when I say the bench, well I
guess you could ask. My classes are Math 110, Stats 151, English 100,
Computer Science 170, and Film 100. I figure that my easy classes
should be Math, Stats, and Film. My hard classes will be English and
Computer Science. Computer Science will be hard since I am skipping
ahead. I skipped CS 100 and 110. That just means I'm going to have to
try harder and catch up. It's going to be a challenge.
One
great invention that I have is my Palm Tungsten C. It works great at
school. Since the UofR has wireless internet at most places on campus
I can go on MSN in class. Then I can also play all sorts of games and
other interesting things. I can also update my schedule and write
down all my assignments. I don't know where I'd be without it.
Probably at the same place just a little less organized.
At
work I am having a great time. I like my job since I don't have any
huge responsibilities. I also don't have any stress from working. I
enjoy my discount and the raises that I get out of nowhere. Although
it isn't much and some might be making more I am now making
$8.05/hour. Even with a full course load at school I am still working
15 or so hours a week. I think this is a managable schedule and
expect to have time for school and work.
Go Riders - Go Leafs
Go.
