Back to work already. Not like I really left here anyway. I’m slogging away on a historiography paper and making a bit of headway on it. Not too much, but a bit. Hopefully I can get it done before Monday. The first rough, rough cut is done, but now some meat needs to be put [...]

So the year has started. With a snow storm. I guess this is still Canada. But it’s not all bad, last night was lots of fun. Right now I’m in a Coffeetime on Lawrence, writing, reading and gearing up for a major paper that will be due in about a week. I’ll be spending the [...]

I’m all done now. Finished marking pretty much the last paper. Technically I’m not done because I still have a couple stragglers who sent their work in via email, but that’s only two or three. My save-the-best-for-last strategy worked wonderfully, and those students in the favored pole position did not let me down. It’s so [...]

So I’m supposed to be on the bus now, heading to Fredericton, to see my best buddy Ian and his family, who are spending a year up there while his wife gets her Masters in Education. I really wanted to go and see how he was doing, but as per usual, there were a couple [...]

The friendly people at Bell tell me that I might have to wait another 5 business days before I can smell internet in my home. Somehow I don’t believe them, but I don’t want to use up all my daytime minutes on hold to the bastards. This is a three month test, and thus far, [...]

Just came from watching X-Men 3. They have these wonderful free movies on campus and it fits in at a really good time for me. I can catch my breath and say whew. That being said, X-Men turned out to be a pretty bad movie. Poorly written, nice effects. They killed off a hell of [...]

Hello there. What a nice day we had today. Got up before 11 am today. So that’s the start of the good news. Mosied (is that a word?) on down to York International, where I found out that I am not eligible for the LACS bursary that I’ve been eyeing for the last two years. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
