Song of the day: Lali Puna - Left Handed

April 20th, 2005 it all ends!

So the examination schedule came out today. Some cheered while some jeered. My schedule on the other hand isn't that bad:

BIOL 432 APRIL 20
BIOL 459 APRIL 13
BUS 481W APRIL 8
ECON 361 APRIL 18

Plenty-o-room to study(or not) in between exams. Anyways, back to the subject, I applied to a job in Toronto this past week. Needless to say I want it really bad. The position is a research analyst, but it incorporates everything I've learned in school. It ties in aspects of business from a technology transfer perspective and deals with science! I don't think I could ask for a better career-building job than this one. Many have commented on the fact that a high percentage of people never use get into a field of work in which they studied in school. If everything goes according to plan (I wish, I wish, please please!), I will be able to break the trend. The job is really interesting and embodies what I've always envisioned in a career with a science and business degree. I don't think I've anticipated anything with such great uneasiness since my first visit to the dentist. If anything else, this post is a plea from an ambitious 'gold collar' scholar waiting for the door to open to the real world.

Well, enough about that, let's discuss the FEDs election. Every year, it ends up being a damn popularity contest, which it shouldn't! And there's no change from the norm this year. The opening election forum was an all-out assault with verbal jabs thrown left and right. Open policy this, transparency this, change, innovation, yadda, yadda, yadda. None of the proposed platforms ever elucidate to change anyways, so why even look at the platforms. This year I decide to vote solely based on the random questions asked by the school student newspaper. If you don't know the difference between a senate and council and you're running for office, you should really reconsider. The random questions really says to me that you can think on your feet. "I don't know" doesn't cut it with me.

Enough blabbering. I'm off to sleep.
