Well Screw You, Too!

After much deliberation, I decided to drop a Sociology of the Family class.  Since this is the end of the third week of classes, and it's a bit late to take another one, I am stuck with just four this semester.  Still FT, but it sucks that I am not taking the max number of courses.

Why did I drop the class?

I am interested in the subject matter.  Based on what I saw so far, I had little doubt of an A.  AND, I had already finished the term paper that's due March 12.

But I can't stand the prof.

Or, more precisely, she can't stand me.  Or any other men for that matter.  I think she has a lot of baggage, and misandry is definitely in the air that she breathes.

I sat through five lectures and every time I kept asking myself why I was there.  I could skip class, but she also gave random in-class assignments that are graded.  So damned if I do, damned if I don't, eh?

So I figured, well, I don't need this credit.  I don't need this course.  I am not in sociology.  And I certainly don't need this shit.

Today being the drop deadline, I dropped the damn class.  The only unfortunate bit of that is that I won't have a chance to trash her on her teaching evaluations.  Yeah, and of course my term paper is wasted (but as you well know, in business we call that SUNK COST, eh?).

On a different note, this freezing and thawing weather this winter has been horrific.  One day it's -25, and the next it's 20 degrees warmer.  So snow melts, forms puddles everywhere, and freezes back into a fucking hockey rink.  Makes walking very treacherous.  So do be careful as you navigate the winter roads.

And now we're heading back into the cold.  From a high of zero Celcius yesterday we are getting a low of -22 today and -18 tomorrow.  Here we go again!

Stay warm if you're in cold climes.

THIS IS A LOT MORE FUN

Business research is SO boring.  This sounds like a hell lot more fun!  Too bad I don't qualify.  Could use the money!

 

MIND THE ICE!

Silly cat wandered onto thin ice

Had to be rescued by firefighters!

Don't push your luck next time!

Everyone is lining up!

Waiting to go into the classroom.  Proof we're in Canada.  Look how everyone just automatically lines up!  :)

MADE MY DAY

As I walked out into the frigid cold this morning, I passed by this gentleman.  I said, "Good Morning."

He said, "Kind of cold today, eh, kid?"

Haha, made my day!

Sort of like Hawaii?

Should be loads of fun walking to campus this morning...

 

 You know it's really cold when:

1.  A merino wool beanie and a fleece hood TOGETHER don't keep your head from freezing.

2.  When your thinsulate boots and heavy wool socks don't stop your toes from going numb.

3.  When denim feels more like a sheet of ice on your legs.

4.  When your polyester and fleece gloves only serve to keep your frozen fingers from completely falling off.

5.  When people in Ottawa actually STOP riding their damn bicycles...

And the ice is closing in!  Expecting to see the Titanic iceberg any time now...

 

CONTINUING SAGA WITH MY FAVE TA

As you may recall, I again have my fave TA in another history class.

This morning I saw her as she came into the classroom.   Started chatting with her, all nice and friendly.  I am so sweet -- trailing evil snickers...
