More of School

History of Japan is actually Introduction to Japan Culture. Meaning that all we do is watch japanese movies (we just finished Princess Mononoke) and read articles about how weird the japanese are compared to western culture. And read mangas. :)

The Numerical Analysis class is actually pretty hard-assed. The professor already assigned the first problem set for TODAY AT 5:00 P.M.!!! Well, it was assigned a week ago. But still... All I need now is some sort of program to convert text files to pdf... or something that will create pdf files on Win2K. And Matlab or Maple. For free. But that ain't going to happen. *sigh*

Art of Listening consists of sitting and listening to classical music with a bunch of idiots who can't sit quiet long enough through the class to keep me from getting pissed off. It's a very large effort to get me pissed off if you're being noisy. So it's pretty noisy.

World of Chemistry is taught by three professors, in fact. My peer has actually told me that the multiple choice exams are in fact tricky, despite what the professors claim. So I may need to establish some ranting protocols for myself this semester. (Otherwise I won't be able to graduate in many cases!)

And finally... U of Montreal. I guess it's pretty much as I feared. I don't understand squat in the class, content-wise and vocabulary-wise in either language, the professor is one of those microscopic-scrunchy-writers-type, and I have an assignment due next week... requiring me to write longer sentences in French than I can probably manage without messing up. *Snif.* Jorgh, help me!!!

Why isn't the Architecture Café open anyway? And why the hell is the Bistro so damn expensive now??? And why don't they make cheaper food around campus? Is everyone a millionaire/millionaire's kid around here??? WTF HAPPENED TO MY MONEY??????

In other news, Datoo has resigned from presidency of SSMU. Everyone's pissed off because there won't be a by-election, according to the usurpers- oh sorry, I mean the rest of the executive and the acting president, nearly-acclaimed VP University Affairs. If I had been more of an activist, I'd be running around with those placards and stuff, but it's not much of a big deal anyway. What, will the acting president get both salaries then? Then maybe... No, but seriously, I think that there's too much going on behind the scenes to make anyone feel secure about the executive this year, as is. So whatchu gonna do?
