So I've been living up in the god forsaken wasteland known as Prince George for nearly two months now. I've been pretty busy with teaching and learning but also pretty bored and lonely. As such, I was really looking forward to having some friends come visit me. Tomorrow a couple of them were supposed to make the 6 hour trek up here and stay for...

I bought a deep fryer today ... because I'm addicted to deep fried tofu. And to think, I started eating the stuff to be healthy.
Canada loses to Switzerland. Why on earth did I get up at 6:30 to watch that?

I wonder what the world would be like if we all let our inner Frank Booth out? Probably not too much different than it is now.

I've got a calendar with a new Bush quote every day. Reading something profound from the leader of the free world always gets me off to a good start in the morning. I thought today's was a worth posting:
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

The question is rarely asked: is we teaching our kids good?
dholokov:
it's gotta be a fake. He hasn't said 365 different things.

I started marking papers tonight and have decided that we really need to upgrade the graduation requirements for high school. Honestly, didn't you know the basic rules of grammar and how to properly cite sources when you entered university? These are first and second year university students and technically I could have half of them expelled for plagiarism simply because they fail to cite their...

I've been hearing this a lot from profs. Perhaps there should be more rigorous grammar instruction in high school? I don't remember doing much grammar at all past grade ten...there probably should be more...at least 20% of each level devoted to grammar, perhaps. At any rate, You can't force people to learn things that they don't really want to lean. If profs were more willing to dish out shitty grades for bad writing, students would have to shit or get off the pot, so to speak.

Well, the election has come and gone. The Conservatives won but only with a minority. The NDP didn't do as well as I would have liked. The sky didn't fall. It could have been better, it could have been worse.
In related news, I get my first batch of papers handed in tomorrow to mark. 70 individual platform papers from my POLS 200 class. Should...

I was happier last night. A whole day of conservative gloating is starting to get on my nerves.
Gloating...over still almost losing to one of the most publicly corrupt parties in recent memory?

I voted yesterday in an advanced poll. I encourage everyone to get out and vote. If we all did we'd actually have a voice in government that better represents our interests. Not to necessarily say that your interests will be the same as mine, I just mean in general terms. Exercise your right. As it stands we're going to have a Conservative majority and for...

My internet has crashed three times as I've tried to post.
Thanks for the bd wishes. Everyone should conspire to give me a non-conservative gov. as a gift.

One thing I've noticed about Harper. He has so much makeup on that he looks like a corpse. You'd think he would have handlers who would catch that.
My first week of school up here is done (I skipped the real first week). I had my first class TAing yesterday. Went pretty well. I think I'll enjoy it even if I do have to work a bit hard, and besides, there's a bunch of cute girls in it. I literally have a couple of hundred books to read in the next couple of...

Oh, you'll totally meet so many people teaching. I guess its kind of hard to distinguish between the teacher/student/friend thing though. Sounds like you're keeping yourself busy, so thats good! And a free Ipod is totally awesome, no question.
PG... wow. heh. You're so far away now.

I finally moved up to Prince George. I got a little studio apartment that is actually pretty nice. I start my teaching assistant job next week and it looks like it will be good. Alot of work too, but that's alright. TAing for two classes while taking two of my own is going to keep me pretty busy. Now I just need to meet some...
