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.

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.

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!
