I have finally managed to get myself hooked up to the internet. Yay, right?! So that means that i'll be more available, and hopefully posting more often. Which I'm sure only a couple of you will care about that. =p

I also have news on my educational career. I've finally gotten the final completion notice. Hurray! I can't believe all the work that you have to go through just to graduate. It doesn't make any sense to me, considering that in high school once you completed your credits that's it, you graduate. There is no 'requesting graduation'. In University I've had to complete my credits for my subject post--which means your program of study--(after figuring out which ones you need on your own) , then you have to request to graduate, then wait for Head of your program to review your success of completion, then it's further reviewed by the school and then Finally you can find out if you've completed your degree. Ok, I admit that I don't know if all Universities work this way, but I now know that the University of Toronto does. How annoying,eh.

Oh, speaking of being on the net more often... I've been considering getting a messenger (suggested by you all) and new Id based on whatever you all say you use the most, so that if you wanted you could yap to me. Eh, just a thought. Or, how about if you want somewhere to instant message me send me a note and we can figure it out from there. I personally would love to chat with you all more often, and if there is a more popular IM i'll get it and post publically.... yea, anyway that's what i've been considering. *sigh* I will stop my rambling now.

:heart:

P.S: It's nearly Hallowe'en, it's Canada...it's cold, and getting colder. I am completely not happy about this. Someone in a warm climate adopt me!

YAY!

You have to request to graduate? WTF?!?!? So completing your credits isn't necessarily enough? Could they actually refuse even if you gained all required credits? Weird. At least you got the completion notice! :D

I personally use MSN, only because its more convenient to me to only have one messenger client (plus I have crazy stalker types on my other accounts that don't leave me alone ^^; ). Though many actually allow you to use multiple contact lists MSN, Yahoo, AIM, etc. So if you have friends who are on multiple ones, you may want to look into something like Trillian, Miranda or Pidgin.

Winter is here, meh.... we got like 4 feet of snow about two and a half weeks ago. Broke tons of branches. It melted in like a day. Man I really hate the odd weather patterns here.

Haha!! Yea, we have to request graduation. I think it's just about the stupidest thing i've ever heard too. I do believe that if they for example didn't think (based on grades) that i'd gained enough knowledge of the field they could deny the request. So otherwise if your GPA REALLY sucks, then they probably could, yea.

I have MSN, and Skype (which I live on). I was just putting it out there to see if a lot of people preferred a certain messenger. It seems to me that most people like MSN, seeing the majority of my friends use it.

Msn it is then?

Good Lord, I am not looking forward to winter. This will be my first winter back home in 4 years. Though I'm now just an hour south, we get way more snow here (because of Niagara Falls, and having a lake on either side of us). That totally sucks that you've gotten snow already. We did have hail last week and this morning, which I dont think is a good sign
:iconthe-virus-of-life:
Man that would suck to do all that work and then be told "nope, you don't graduate, you suck too much. Start over."

We always have sucky weird weather here. Like right now its about 50 degrees and fairly nice, but we got some rain about a week ago and I'm sure the snow will come again soon. We don't get much hail though, which is good.

It's not just all the work that you'd loose though. Think about the money that would go down the drain!

We do too. Apparently it's going to be 14C on Hallowe'en, and it's freezing today! At least it will be nice for the Trick-or-Treaters. Hail is such a strange thing. I never know if I should be amazed or afraid of it. I stay the hell out of it, that's one thing I'm sure of, it hurts! It's always such a random thing too. :shrug: Weird North American Weather!
:iconthe-virus-of-life:
Very very true.

YAY for cold weather! :( I really hate snow and winter. When we do get hail its pretty lame but is kinda brutal and can be softball size.

Haha no! Not YAY for cold weather! I had to go and rescue our patio tent tonight because of how hard the wind was blowing about. I froze out there! It's apparently -4C! Im not pleased! I shall go pout into my tea.
:iconthe-virus-of-life:
-4C? Man that sucks. It was 70 yesterday, now its like 40.. winter still really hasn't hit yet but it should in the next couple weeks.

Yea, it's far too cold already for my tastes. We had a little snow today. It melted quickly, but it still happened. :(
