So I haven't posted in forever. Went to the gala last night, it was fun again. I should probably go to more events if I actually want to make friends with people on the site, otherwise I just see people once a year.
Hopefully some of you will be going to the fan expo this year, I know I sure as hell am. radiofrank was...

So I'm gonna be moving to a new house in Guelph with one of my roomates, since the house we're living in now has been sold to new owners, and I just feel like a change.
I think I want to have a pet in the new house. At first I was thinking mice, but now I kind of want something different.
I'm trying to...

Definitely do a lot of research before getting a sugar glider.
I know a few people who had them, and they're VERY hard to care for, and get sick very easily....They're noisy, smelly, and they also are prone to pneumonia.

I'm travelling across canada. East coast at the end of may and then eventually to the Yukon. I've been saving money since before christmas. A few other side projects helped too.
I want to move back to Toronto. The End.

Are you still in Guelph?
perrault:
I'm going travelling this summer, But I'll most likely be back here in September or something. You don't happen to know what colour the summer bus stickers are do you? I've been making my own and putting them on my old student card. Fuck paying 2.75 to ride the buses in this town.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My throat hurts from yelling so much. Man that was an intense game. Had my heart pounding, sitting on the edge of my seat. But holy shit did we jump around screaming when Crosby let that little zinger in.
The street was blocked off in Downtown Guelph tonight too. We headed down there a bit after the game and you could hear people yelling...

it was indeed awesome ! 
brightredscream:
Yes we are!
The past 36 hours have been messed up. First Saturday night I went with some friends to my roomate's sister's place to have a century club. For those of you who have never heard of this, or know it under another name it's when you do a shot of beer every minute for a hundred minutes. It doesn't sound like a lot...but basically I went...

Yeah, that sounds about right for the flu.
Have you written that exam yet, or do you have a little more time yet?

Only 50, eh? That's not too bad, then.
Fuck! We played like shit, and I hate to say it, but the US deserved to win tonight. Still, it makes me pissed to see them take the gold. Hockey is supposed to be ours, that'll just make them feel even more superior to us.
I'll still wear my jersey proudly, I love being Canadian.

If it's any consulation, I don't think it will make them feel superior to us. They probably don't care too much about the juniors. Not half as much as we do. We're going to redeem ourselves in February.
I've been spending way too much money lately. First at the end of November I got an HD tv, which is still on my credit card, then Christmas presents, then on boxing day I bought $100 worth of blu rays, and today I bought a new winter jacket. Maybe I'll get more scholarships in January (the reason I bought a tv in the first place)....

I think that my TV is on its way out, so I'm looking into what sort of HDTV to get. Any recommendations?
Happy New Year to you as well, good sir!

Yeah, I was kinda leaning towards Samsung (the TV we have now is a Samsung, and it's been quite good up until recently). I guess we'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the input.

I'm making a new post cause I haven't made one in forever.
So my prof for my general relativity class (my supervisor) said during our last class that he would just take our two assignment marks and our presentation marks and make that our final grade. Then we get an email the other day saying we have to do a take home exam now. He...

No, I don't think that we dealt with tensors in any of the physics classes - but it is possible that I tangled with them in a math course.
To answer your question, my job has absolutely nothing to do with my degree. I had originally hoped to use my degree as a springboard to get into teaching...but after spending a fair bit of time working with high school students, I realized that I was not the type of person who should be teaching. I am a manager/merchandise buyer for a big garden centre in the Toronto area. I worked in another department as a summer job when I was in university, and I found myself back there a few years ago. It's a much better fit for me, and I do think that the work I did in getting my degree has helped me with this job (in a tangential fashion).
Do you have any thoughts on what you'd like to do if you don't go the PhD route?
...and on a completely different topic, I just remembered that I'll be in your neck of the woods in January.

Is there any chance that you would be able to do some work at a high school? It may be of some help one way or another.
I'll be at UoG taking a two day course to get my Pesticide Vendor certificate. Very exciting, haha.

So I haven't really been visiting the site so much, mostly cause I've been busy as hell.
For example, last weekend I was at the school day and night working on an assignment for my quantum mechanics class. It was the worst assignment I've ever had to work on, and took me over 40 hours to finish total. Ridiculous. This weekend will probably be spent...

I was wondering if you still had a pulse! lol Um yikes...kidney stones =...well you know what it = ...sorry man, that blows.
cdn_james:
the second one was a knight in shining armor....maybe I should have put a picture of Jesus...I'm not anyones savior
So I leave for a 2 day General Relativity conference tomorrow...hopefully there will be some cool presentations. Unfortunately it's in Michigan. Sorry if you're from Michigan but when you find out you're gonna be traveling somewhere Michigan isn't on the top list of places to go.
cdn_james:
ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make some sort of fun adventure out of it. If there is more than one car going 'sabotage' the other car. Nothing destructive, just something silly like putting a fish in the hubcap(re That 70's Show)
lilcupcake:
Enjoy....Michigan...
