Well, it’s over. I wrote my last exam of my undergrad today and I am officially in self-creation mode. Other than holding down a part-time job, I am pretty much a free man. So, here I am asking myself “now what?” It has come to that point where my future is pretty much an open [...]

I had my final undergraduate class on Wednesday. It was a weird feeling knowing that I’m about to complete my degree and then move on to something else. One part of me is relieved to be done while the other is a bit sad that it has come to an end. Maybe I’m just afraid [...]

Ahhhhhh*
That’s my sigh of relief. Today, I handed in my final essay for this term (well, technically yesterday–it’s 2:40am), which means I only have one more assignment to do. The assignment won’t be that bad, so all the most difficult work is over with. It’s time to start planning what to do over my break–can [...]

Today, in class, my professor made reference to a children’s book called The Golden Compass, which is part of a trilogy by Philip Pullman. There was mention of controversy over the claim that this book has atheist intentions written into it. This prompted me to do a bit of Google searching where I found a [...]

Tonight I had the honour of being able to attend a talk by environmental activist and renowned scientist Dr. David Suzuki. It was quite remarkable seeing him up close and personal with him being such an influential person here in Canada and around the world. He was sitting around before his talk signing books and [...]

In one of my classes, a mini assignment was to choose any material symbol that represents change and examine it materially as well as symbolically for about an hour. We were to describe the symbol’s significance generally and with regard to change. I chose a cell phone. Here is my analysis:
The [Cell]phone as a Symbol [...]

For my Wealth and Poverty class this week, one of my readings is by Plutarch, a Greek biographer and moralist (46 A.D-120 A.D.) who was very influential and even a source of inspiration for many of Shakespeare’s works. I would like to share a few of his statements regarding the Love of Wealth from his [...]

Last Monday, I customized and ordered a new Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop and, as of yesterday, it is in Purolator’s possession, on its way to my house. The laptop I have now is on its 7th year and is just too slow to use on a daily basis. I was struggling with it during school [...]

In about 5.5 hours, I will be done with school for four months! Ahhh, what a relief. As for right now, the studying continues since my exam is in 3.5 hours. It’s a fully multiple choice test so I’m not too worried about it, it’s the essay exams that are require more thought; MC is [...]

Happy belated Earth Day everyone! I wasn’t able to post yesterday because I was studying like crazy for today’s exam. It was a killer. I expected it to be a little tough but the questions were much more abstract than I expected. I won’t go into detail because my mind is like sludge right now [...]

Whoo! The 50% hurdle is over with. 3 exams done, 2 to go. I had my grueling 3-hour Comparative Politics exam today. The full three hour exam was a mad rush of hardcore writing. The exam consisted of three sections. The first was a define and explain where we are given 8 concepts (choose 5) [...]

Okay, the glass is almost half full! I wrote my Human Rights exam this morning and I sure am glad it’s over. That one has been haunting me. I don’t think it went too bad overall. We had three hours to write two essays. The first had to do with transitional justice and its theoretical [...]
