After going to class today on three hours of sleep, I thought it might be interesting to break down what a typical day is like for me. Of course, no day is “typical” and how my time breaks down will likely be quite different when compared to any other student as well. 3 hours – […]
Why do my random thoughts posts always seem to fall around the time of a long weekend? Strange…Relationship TheoryI've been thinking about something quite a bit since July. I read a lot of relationship books and watch a lot of Oprah so I'm very aware of the theory that says anyone in a relationship can […]
I presented my 697 Individual Study findings to the 501 class on Tuesday and it went pretty well. There were lots of questions and class interaction at the end which I always think is a good thing. Some of the non-501'ers who came out to support me (Sabina, Linda, Tami) said I did a good […]
A nice innovation for the process this term is that the SoL sub-committee asked all nominators to give a brief blurb about their nominee. Looks like Student Council also had their first-ever joint nomination (although the form that came out looks like they only want us to vote for one of the three people who […]
Finally got around to doing my course selection for next term. Here are my rankings for the five classes I want to take plus the couple extras that they make you pick as options in case you don't get into something. I did end up sending around a proposal for another independent study to a […]
– “Alberta Bound” by Gordon Lightfoot just came on the folk roots station I'm listening too. – As Linda said in her comments for the last entry, the coffee house was a blast and everybody who got up did an awesome job. I gotta give Classmate of the Day to the storytellers though (Meg, Becky, […]
[2007-05-06 – Wanted to add an update to mention that the paper I link to in the second paragraph of this post (not counting this added part in italics of course) won first runner-up in the 2007 CLA Student Writing contest. The posted version of the paper is the one I handed in for class […]
See below for some photos from my adventures on Tuesday night. I also added one from Wednesday's karaoke session to the “Librarian Idol” entry. The photo I added is sort of bittersweet – Shea has our digital camera in Saskatchewan so I dug out my old film camera to take with me to karaoke. It […]
Went to the Librarians Without Borders karaoke fundraiser tonight and other than a broken air conditioning system at the venue, it was a very fun (and very sweaty) night. LWB invited the students in journalism school and so a bunch of them came out which provided my first real chance to meet many of them […]
The co-op placements were announced yesterday and it sounds like a lot of people got their first picks so that's awesome! A big Classmate of the Day to everybody going on co-op. It's going to be weird next semester with the majority of my cohort gone and doubly so because I'll be gone by the […]
