Profs in the B.Ed. program warn students not to tell their friends that the classes are “easy.” They contend that as time goes on, it gets harder, and you’ll have wiped out any source of support. After almost three weeks of class, I will dare to say, to every person on the internet, that this Read the full article…
Ah… Student Meals.

Hungry. Needed dinner, no groceries. I considered pizza, but the shop at the corner was too expensive. Whatever happened to the pizza wars? Remember when you could get 2 large pizzas for $13.99? Now it’s $16.99 for one medium. I guess the wars are over; apparently pizza won, and we’ve moved into the raping and Read the full article…
Why I Won’t Be Teaching At a Catholic School
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on September 22nd, 2003
Took the bus to school today. Lots of highschool students were heading to class as well. Two girls in tartan kilts, presumably going to Catholic school, were chatting a few feet away from me. “So what’s this ‘mass’ thing all about?” one asked. Remember that Catholic schools, since lobbying successfully for government funding, must admit Read the full article…
Jesus Comes to Campus

During Frosh Week lots of organizations came to the student centre to schelp their wares and ideologies. A downtown bar was letting students spin a wheel for prizes. Mobile phone companies were giving away water bottles. Credit card recruiters had free university hats and t-shirts. And the Catholic and Christian Outreach people had… popcorn. Jesus Read the full article…
Home Sweet Home

Finally found a place to stay. What a great way to start the month. After a couple fruitless weeks of searching, the pavement pounding paid off, and I scored a sweet furnished room in a great house here in Sandy Hill, nice a close to school. I don’t know why I get lucky like this. Read the full article…
School Spirit(s)

Back on campus today. Saw another two apartments, both lacking that certain je ne sais quoi. [Ed’s Note: They were crap.] Had dinner at the ZamPub in the sports complex. A few dozen engineering frosh clad in various brightly-coloured t-shirts were sitting at tables, waiting for something. Eventually a guy in a construction helment with Read the full article…
The Best Laid Plans
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 30th, 2003
I would like to start today over. Some best laid plans all gang ague or whatever the hell that saying is. Started off by cleaning my wallet. Took out the bus tickets I use to get to campus, followed by all the receipts and papers that I keep for reference or the recycler, and got Read the full article…
Buck Off

Victor, Sabrina and I went back to Elgin Street to meet some of Victor’s old pals for drinks. En route we watched as a stag and stagette, from two different weddings, ran into each other on the street. They were kind enough to allow a photo. We met up with Mike and Dave and headed Read the full article…
Two Comments on Cross-Country Road Trips
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 22nd, 2003
Every highway driver in Manitoba goes 110 km/h. Exactly. You’ll come up behind a line of cars in the highway, none attempting to pass the one ahead. Ever. At 110 km/h. Thankfully, this makes them easy to pass. And if the looks of my grille is any evidence, the bugs on the #1 are made Read the full article…
Stinkfist

Went downtown tonight to watch Victor’s Tool cover band, Stinkfist, play Barrymore’s. His mom, a sweet Hungarian lady who prefers classical music, came with us to support her son. It was very cool, and the band was awesome, upstaging the Rush cover band that followed. I walked Victor’s mom back to her car before the Read the full article…
