my exams are spaced pretty far apart for once which doesn’t exactly motivate me to study but rather tricks me into a false sense of laziness for a couple of days. i’d rather have all my exams back to back, not that i wouldn’t be stressed by the overload of exams but at least it would be all over quickly. with my current schedule, my term doesn’t end until the 20th, that’s 21 days from lectures end for only 6 exams.

i had a meeting and talked more about my fourth year design project today. whenever i spend time working on it, which really means talking at this stage of the game; i get all revved up about actually designing and implementing something cool, and making millions, and curing cancer, and just making the world a better place in general. then i realize that none of us really know what we’re doing and have a bunch of exams and lots of work to catch up on. reality really bites eh.

i really enjoy it when we work with like 1960s lab equipment in our labs when we’re the mit of canada, but i guess there’s no one to really blame because the university is young and doesn’t have enough money to buy these sorta things. anyways, i was walking thru our student life centre and i saw people deliver and unwrap about a hundred new quasi-designer couches to replace our slightly-used and unsoiled, purple and green couches. obviously for those science students to do their lab reports in. then walking thru DC, saw them painting the walls of the hallway from a shade of dark blue to the same shade of dark blue. this was obviously the final lab in the artsies’ career preparation course. well at least their labs relate to practical experience.
