Pet Peeves of a Homework Hermit

- when an article uses an abbreviation (that they apparently have defined earlier), but you can't seem to find damn spot, so you have no clue what the abbreviation stands for and are pulling out your hair trying to figure it out

- University of Regina's E-journals - Why the hell can't the U of R subscribe to full texts for articles written before 1999?

- pens that apparently dry up, yet upon disassemblage, you find that they have plenty of ink left

- profs that say they mark easy but have a list of guidelines 3 pages long!

Im sure you can see that this weekend is going just swell... bah

Painful Population Paper

So I'm doing a report on 'the maximum human population size that the earth can support', and I came accross some cool websites..... ok so maybe they just seem cool because I am pretty bored with this essay.

World Population Projections
Population clocks
World Population info

Well this explains a lot ...

Argyle Socks, 2007-03-24

k ya.. so not much activity here for the past little while.. I've been swamped with homework! I did add a facebook 'badge' though, and a cute little doggie that runs at the top of my sidebar :P .. I've been on facebook a lot lately just cuz its so interactive (its a great momentary procrastination), and its fun to upload pictures.. check out the pics of the fashion show I was in last weekend.

It was at the Conexus Arts Center, and it was for the Regina Women's network. They were raising money for autism. Anyways it was really fun! I got to wear some really sweet dresses (see the pics in my facebook 'badge') and got to get all prettied up.. too bad my hair wasnt as cool as everyone elses :(... I was the first to get my hair done, so it was the most tame .. oh well...

On Saturday, I worked on a tv movie called 'Be careful what you wish for' which sounds like a '13 going on 30' clone.. but it looked cute.. I doubt it will be on Canadian tv tho.. but if it is, I will let you all know, so that you can see my best 'flirtacious' look.. the scene is where the hottest guy in school just walked into our gym class and we all just drop everything and stare/flirt :P.. it was fun, but he was soooo not hot in real life :P

this week's been a bit slacker than the last few, but still need to keep plugging away at the homework so I dont get behind again :(

Christmas Cactus
