I’m not looking forward to this week coming up. I have two essays due, neither of which I have started, and I did tell you I gat family in town, so I want to spend some time with them. The week after that I have a presentation, and you may have guessed that I haven’t [...]

What is going on in the Atlantic? Hurricanes galore! I know in the Pacific, they always have a second alphabet soup of names ready because they usually have that abundance of cyclones. But hurricane Alpha in the Atlantic? This is crazy. Is it global warming or is it just a naturally recurring cycle. What is [...]

Its late and I can’t sleep and my mind is racing so much that I can’t read. The only thing that seems to help at these times is to write. So here I am in front of the computer, thinking about the last few hours.. I attended a beautiful lecture by Carolyn Cooper, a professor [...]

Another Wednesday. Another school week. Yup. I’m done with classes until next week monday night. This has been the first time since September that I’ve actually been able to make it through the week without having to spend a sleepless night or two doing readings. I can honestly say that this week was an enjoyable [...]

Well Mudda Sik dread! I had no idea that there were so many of my fellow countrymen here in York university. I had heard rumors of their existence, but had yet to meet them. Last night I decided to duck class and attend a shindig put on by the Bahamian High Commissioner in Canada downtown [...]

Where am I? If only I had done my work over the long weekend. Or maybe if I had just slacked off more. Spent the night reading the texts for this mornings 8:30 class. Did not go to sleep at all and then dragged my caffeinated body to class. And guess what? I didn’t need [...]

So, the York international Students thanksgiving dinner was a smashing success!! We had a good 17 people out, I was quite pleased. Despite some drops of conversation here and there I think that everyone had a good time. Some in the group decided to head out for some drinks afterwards, at a club, or was [...]

I’ve been messing around with the website tonight. Not like you can tell. I guess that means that I’m somewhat unsuccessful. Not totally. When you install new software, it really requires that you learn how to use it. What I am attempting is a complete revamping of the structure of this site. When its ready [...]
