My wrist was feeling better, but it's kind of getting buggy again.

I applied to a job for the schoolyear... I'm leaning towards one last year (Honours specialization English with Minor in Biology). I figured I could influence some contacts at the organization into getting me an interview. No need. The Editor-in-chief obviously likes my resume and replied the same day on a Sunday to let me know that he would be in touch to arrange an interview after the competition close date.

As long as I can get some OSAP, a part-time job and one or two bursaries, I should be set to complete the frankenstein monster degree.

One last year in school and then NO MORE until I move to Toronto.

And in case anyone missed my previous posts: Economics at the University of Ottawa sucks hairy goat anus.

Re: Economics @ uOttawa


I had to inform the TAs that I wasn't sure who they were fooling, but question 17 did not feature any commonly accepted mathematical notation. It took them 30 minutes to agree.

Re: Economics @ uOttawa


Comletely understand!

I think I have already highlighted the amazing interaction with my TAs at the final exam? if not, it went a little something like this:

Me: Excuse me, but the answers to this multiple choice question aren't valid.
TA: Really?
Me: Well, according to the text...insert long winded and thorough explanation which eliminated all answers one by one.
TA: *Smiles* Well, that's why we have senior level courses - critical analysis is a skill that is taught at that level.
Me: Funny that! As a grad. student myself, I always try to encourage undergraduate students, regardless of their year of study
TA: silence......ummm.....*awkwardly looks around*.....choose the most appropriate answer.
Me: I'm leanign towards C, yet I am having trouble reconciling this
TA: I would agree with your choice....*skurries off to an obscure corner of the gym with another TA*

B'ah!

Tranna-Bound!

When: Probably not until 2008 to 2010 range.

Why: One of the primary reasons is Josh doesn't speak French and this makes his job prospects suck in Ottawa.

Both of our families are also there which we don't see enough living in Ottawa.

Mostly Josh wants to move back, and I'll be content living just about anywhere, and, short of moving to New York, Toronto offers the best selection of job prospects for me.

Ignoring all of that... Paris says the dark side has cookies.

It's all in the Plan(tm)

2007 I graduate with the final incarnation of my Undergrad

2007 We get hitched in September 2007

2008 Josh graduates with his Comp Sci, possibly with minor in Physics

2008 I aspire to own a car by this time

2008 Weather permitting, we move to Toronto. This could be delayed as long as until 2010. Even if we don't move to Toronto, sanity will require I live in a larger domicile. Mostly because a Dog and a Quaker Parakeet are in the plans between 2008 and 2010.

2010 Children. Preferably two. Preferably arriving one at a time. I'll be 29 by then, and there's too much damn education in my brain about pregnancy statistics.

I'm just glad my 2 year plan works... the rest of it is really vague. I figure I'll just model it after a Burner pub crawl.
