Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
School really throws me into a self-induced state of panic. I procrastinate. I don’t study. I thought after a two year hiatus from classes that I’d perhaps turn the tides this time around and do the school thing properly. You know, read the textbook, study, prepare, etc. But some things never change, and I reverted … Continue reading Booyah.
In fine form again, I’m resurrecting the art of the one-day paper. The internet is a dangerous thing, negating the need to actually do any “library” research, and my new best friend Google is leading the way. Whenever I make a statement that looks like it requires some proof outside of my word, I lay … Continue reading Procrastinus Major
It’s just been confirmed that the SFU school of contemporary arts will be one of the tenants in the retrofitted Woodward’s building in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side.

I’m pretty happy that the strike didn’t mess up my class at all, though I wonder just how far the … Continue reading Blip Bloop
I’m in the process of registering for a class at BCIT in January. You’d think I’ve never done the whole “online shopping” or “course registration” thing before. I’m a complete retard about it all. Of course, it’s a little more complicated than usual, because I need to pick up a cheque next week to pay … Continue reading Retards to the Left
I handed in my last exams today. That means I am done. Not the kind of “two weeks off until summer semester/job” done that I’ve been used to for the majority of my life – just done. My degree requirements are complete, and I convocate on June 5. Until then, I have no plans, just … Continue reading Final
