The best news that has come along in quite sometime was that my printer got fixed, to use my gooder English. The problem before was that I took it to the SFU computer store where I bought it and they told me that the only thing they could do, would cost 950 dollars. This seemed a tad extreme, so I took it to another local dealer. Took the guy there a total of ten minutes to fix the problem, AND he cleaned the thing so that it will actually suck up paper like it is supposed to. Before, I had to hand feed the damn thing so that it would take in paper. Open up, an airplane is coming in for landing.
I swear, if I was any better at procrastination I would even put off the end of this sente
nce.
Instead of studying, today I scanned many pictures that I have taken. That’s not a metaphor.
Today I took possession of four CD’s. None of them were written during my lifetime. What does this say?.
SFU’s motto is ” Nous sommes pretes” – which loosely translated means “We are lovers of bureaucracy”. I think that SFU should adopt the motto of the Parking and Security office which states : “There is no good reason for it, that is just the way that it is”. In French this is something like : Il n’y a aucune bonne raison d’elle, celle est juste la manière dont elle est, or so I have been told. I think that we all agree that this is catchier and easier to remember than “nous sommes pretes”. Anyways, this pretty sums up the entire attitude of SFU administration to my estimation, perhaps the SFU senate should take a look at changing the motto.
Myths are nothing more than easy truths for idiots. Personally I think that is a myth.
Last week I wrote my first final exam of the semester. This went rather well, even though writing 1 page long mini-essays about statistics isn’t the way this kind of thing is usually done. Conceptual exams about the intricacies of multiple regression isn’t preferred to the usual statistics exam that consists of calculations. However, it went well, even though I hadn’t a clue on how to contrast S xy with S’xy . I still can’t find it in the textbook or the notes, a week later.
Well, at long last its over. I think the usual quote is : “all good things come to an end”. Sadly, my undefeated streak in the game of Trivial Pursuit has come to an end. This time, I wasn’t playing on a team, as I had before, and succumbed to the categories that I knew little about. Oh well, its not like it was a streak of 20 or something. I’d only played trivial pursuit twice before.
The benefits of planting a university on top of a mountain once again came to fruition today. SFU is quite a ways up there, and today it snowed around 10 centimeters. This isn’t a big deal for me, I merely slow down my car and take it easy. What I really hate about snow is that most others (in this area) don’t seem to know how to drive in it. I guess I really don’t know either, but I do slow down, and have never had any problems in so doing.
I think that blue is completely overrated as a color, don’t you?
I think if I had my way I’d skip Christmas altogether and that scares me.
You are reading this, and I bet i have a 40 percent chance of guessing your name.
If i only had the ideas, I would build another web site. Most of the stuff on my parents garden site has been done. That was nice, because I could learn how to do all these things and have content provided to me with which to do them. What now?
Today I played a few games on the computer. I have always stated that I would much rather write a game than play it. I think that still holds true, so I am writing a game now. Well, soon.
