I am feeling pretty annoyed tonight... It feel like I have so much work even if in reality there isn't that much at the moment, but the comp sci assignment gnaws on me for some reason. It doesn't help that I can't get to programming because I have to keep mucking with stupid Eclipse and CVS... Especially Eclipse... For god's sakes, is it really too difficult to make a button for compile? BLAH. In addition, it seems like there are too many guys and too few girls around in UofT... Nothing against the guys, but I feel girl-deprived... Where are Ainsley, Aurelia, Janice, etc?

I have determined that stats class should probably be ignored for awhile since it's just the same stuff as the textbook and the textbook has it way better than any of the prof's explanations. But the "good-girl" habits stick to me and I just can't make myself skip. I am sure that'll pass when I'll get totally exasperated with the prof.

I finally finished buying all my textbooks today and I even sold last year's calculus for $80.00, which I consider quite a feat. So now I can get on with my studying/reading. I will probably try to get all the calc stuff done tomorrow since I am a little behind in doing the questions, but it's not a big deal since the stuff we are doing now is mostly review for linear algebra. In fact, all I really need to do is to get on with CSC209 assignment and I'll be all set for awhile. But for that I need to go on CDF sometime since some of the stuff can only be done from those computers.

Another occasion I am not looking forward to is my dentist visit tomorrow. She is gonna drill and I will have to shell out a couple hundred dollars for my last teeth job. Which brings me to the point that I'd like to have some money for once. If someone has extra, donations to Maria Fund will be appreciated.

Meh, no matter, I'll snap out of this blah mood soon enough probably. I'll let y'all know when that happens. Ta ta for now.

I've been meaning to write an entry for awhile, but it just wasn't happening. I have a feeling it won't be happening very often from now on since the school and everything just kicked in. I mean I just finished one week of schooling and I already feel like I am behind in material! This term I am taking calculus, statistics, software design, stupid proofy sc course, and sociology.

Well, out of these courses there are three with profs who speak english, which lately became my criterion for a good prof. A good prof is one I can understand and who does not crack me up every minute by making silly english mistakes. My calc prof has a huge accent and keeps saying funny things and while I think he can teach, the way he says stuff is too funny, which I find rather distracting. My stats prof just plain sucks. Enough said there.

I found sociology prof to be pretty good, but it looks like it's not quite the subject for me. I'll have to suffer it out anyways I guess since I need a social science distribution. There's lots of reading for this course and I just tried doing the first week stuff and it doesn't make much sense to me. I want to go back to sciency stuff! Why couldn't they count psych for the distribution requirement?? *cries*

Well, I also kept two days of work, so now I've got my hands full between all the school work and the job I am pretty much guaranteed to keep myself occupied till December. Yucks. Well, I strongly believe in the principle that if stuff doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. You'll see... I'll be all bulging muscles at the end ;).

Well, and now I have to go buy my stats textbook from someone at UTM, so I am going to cut it short and maybe make another post soon. See ya!
