Entry 115: Fix that Window
Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
Lunch was PIZZA POCKETS, cheddar cheese, Ritz, an apple and milk.
The Landlord came in to fix my window. It was a bit broken, causing heat to seep out. Didn't ever bug me too much, but maybe I'll notice a difference now.
Dinner was pasta night.

So hey, I have a midterm this week. And two more next week.

From yesterday

Entry 117: Unexpectedly Funny
7:30-Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
8:30-Thermodynamics tutorial. This is, no question, the most challenging course material out of all my classes. It is insane. Everyone agrees, to the point where the professor admits it. There is so much calculus. Nothing is ever straightforward. It's a great course, it's just so hard.
10:30-CPUMath.
11:20-Lunch was a peanut butter and JAM sandwich, cheddar cheese, Ritz, and an apple.

11:30-Organic2, more on spectroscopy.
12:30-Fluids tutorial.
2:30-Organic2 lab#1 part 2. I'm talking with a lab mate, and I joke about there being spiders in the one corner. Some time later, someone from another group mentions there's a cobweb in one of their beakers. I had no idea about this.

5:00-Dinner was pasta night.
6:00-CWC. The executives were awesome enough to get a professional improv group from a neighbouring college to teach us about writing comedy. I was the only one, aside from our president, who showed up. We have no idea why. We always have at least a core group of 10 or so members who show up to meetings. We waited for 45 minutes, and the only other person who came in was a non-member waiting for a friend. The hell.

On the plus side, Timbits.

From yesterday

Entry 118: The Blizzardest Blizzard to ever Blizzard
7:30-Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
8:30-Calculus.
9:30-CPUMath quiz.
11:00-Lunch was a peanut butter and JAM sandwich, cheddar cheese, Ritz, and an apple.

1:30-Fluids tutorial. More midterm practice. This one's next week.
5:00-Dinner was pasta night.

Entry 119: Organic2 Midterm 1
7:30-Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
8:30-CPUMath.
10:30-Thermodynamics2.
11:30-Odds tutorial has been moved, and to a building I've never been to before, North Campus. It's real nice.
1:30-Lunch was a peanut butter and JAM sandwich, cheddar cheese, Ritz, and an apple.

6:30-Organic2 midterm. First off, it went great. Second, this professor is a real something. This guy personally makes sure that everyone follows minor lab regulations that most professors would not even pay attention to. And tonight was just weird. First off, he only brought in people to the exam room in groups of 15. And with each group, he pointed to where each individual student was to sit. He wore a suit for no discernable reason other than that this was a midterm (he never wears one to class). He'd pace around the room to catch cheaters.

It's kind of annoying.

Dinner was pizza at a parlour on Richmond, with Pepsi and caesar salad.

Entry 120: Eclipsed
7:30-Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
8:30-Calculus
9:30-Fluids. Midterm on Monday.
10:30-Calculus tutorial. Because it's a new semester, we have new TA's. Turns out they have little experience with calculus and are, in fact, not engineering students.


1:30-Lunch was a peanut butter and JAM sandwich, cheddar cheese, Ritz, an apple and milk.
3:45-Dinner was leftover pizza, milk and a carrot.
5:00-Eclipse Phase Campaign. We started the actual story, playing our first mission. It went for five hours, and it was total fun. My character's already gone through a life-changing near-death experience, and the main plot looks to be kicking in. If you want a more detailed telling, just go to this thread.

From yesterday.

Entry 121: Welcome to Work
Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
Lunch was a peanut butter and JAM sandwich, cheddar cheese, Ritz, an apple and milk.
My sister came over to bring back the plate on which I put her Christmas cake. She stayed a bit to chat.

4:45-Started my journey towards the Canadian Property Stars Job Information Session, situated on 70 Pacific Court. I had dinner at a nearby Subway.
5:15-80% of this walk is on Cheapside Street, so I figured I could just take a bus for most of this trip. And indeed, a bus came by. It wasn't long before it unexpectedly turned and I ended up off course. You know what'd be nice? You know how there's a computerized voice that tells you what stop's next? How about they make the voice tell you when the bus is turning?

5:30-No other busses came by on my walk along Cheapside.
6:00-I just needed to walk 1.4km on Clarke Rd and I'd practically be there. Guess what? GUESS WHAT? THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS. THERE'S NO FUCKING SIDEWALKS ON THIS ROAD. WHAT THE FUCK? For a few blocks, at least. I had to walk on the massive snow banks. It sucked.
7:00-Canadian Property Stars! Essentially, they're an aeration/driveway-repair service. They hire us as amateur contractors, supply us with equipment, and sorta let us do their own thing. We go door-to-door, offering our services. What and how many days we work is entirely up to us. Our pay is commission-based; we get more money by getting more done. It was only an hour-long presentation.

8:00-But then they offered to train us on a number of days, including right now. Nnnnnhhhh, yeah, okay. Might as well. It was alright. Learned how to maneuver the machine, brushed up on WHMIS.
10:00-Hooray for Tim Hortons.
12:00-And as if this was the end of the night, Haley had her cousin and her cousin's boyfriend over. I joined them on their taboozing. We got drunk, and then tobogganed down a nearby hill. It was swell.

Best day ever? Could be.

2:30-Organic lab#2, synthesizing an ester. There was one part of the lab where, no joke, we had to just WAIT for a whole hour. I am tired of this bullshit.
6:00-CWC. We brought in a local poet to read some of his stuff. I'm no fan of poetry, I just stuck around because it's CWC. At least there were cookies.

Dinner was a cheeseburger, french fries and milk. Those french fries came out really good.

9:30-Went to fencing, just for a little bit. I don't like it, but it's becoming clear that my schedule just doesn't work well for fencing. I just can't fit it in. I mean, it's been, what, a month since I last stopped by?


I should exercise more on my own.

From yesterday.

7:30-Breakfast was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and orange juice.
8:30-Calculus.
9:30-Fluids.
10:30-Calculus tutorial. Well, not really. Again, these guys admit to not being big calculus students. I really want to ask why the school would ever give them to us in the first place.

1:30-Odds.
For the afternoon, I finished up on a Thermodynamics2 assignment.
