Hail oh adoring multitude who are suspended to my virtual lips (i.e. keyboard)!
Summer's almost over, at least as far as the MBA is concerned. A couple more weeks and I'll be done w/ the stupid classes and start getting ready for September and the real challenge. Although I must say that summer classes are necessary for me to graduate in May 2008 (if all goes well), the experience has been lesser than regular classes. The fact is the summer is split into to mini-summer sessions with a duration of 6 weeks (+ 1 exam week). This means that instead of going to each class once a week for three hours, you go twice a week.
I have taken two classes this summer. First professor's a part-timer, doesn't know the material enough to make it interesting, and gave us insane amount of work (two classes per week with a rather large due every class makes an interesting summer). He also tests on the content of the book, requiring not only reading of every chapter but also memorization of many small details that are in general irrelevant... Needless to say, that class is my least favorite so far in the program.
The other class though is the total opposite of the first one. The teacher knows his material so well he refers you to the correct pages to look at off the top of his head. He also eliminated all work, keeping only exams for this class (midterm and final). Of course, he strongly suggests doing a bunch of exercises as well as reading the material closely, but there are no formal assignments. Since this class is actually very interesting, I feel like I'm missing out on the additional content (like assignments and more readings) that he would prescribe in a regular semester.
Now that I think about it, I'm complaining about too much work in one class and not enough in the other... Either way, the coming end of the classes also reminds me of how little time is left in the Montreal summer season too, since September hails the coming of autumn in these parts. Janine and I haven't really had the chance to go out much lately, so I'm not looking forward to September...
Let's abrogate this painful story and just say that I miss you all and see you soon (in this blog, on your blogs and IRL one day).

HmmmMMMMMmmmm virtual lips ! it's cybericious ! Wayl, it's always the same with classes you can't choose : one of them at least is gonna be a hassle. I feel your pain, for all the loooong hours I spent in some of mine (of course the classes I give rock, and everyone says so, even applauded at the end of the last one, t'sh'yeah !). Anyhoo, speaking of "see you soon (in this blog, yadda yadda)", I can't help but notice you haven't posted a comment on my blog in ages. So with all respect for your legendary laziness GET YOUR THUMBS OUT OF YOUR OR ANYONE ELSE'S ASS, AND LEAVE US A NOTE, YOU BUTTMUNCH !
And that's all I had to say.
Teehee !
OK, I didn't know where to reply to yer questions, so seeing as this is more direct, I'm postin' here. feel free to delete my ramblings when you're done reading them, as this is probably gonna be pretty useless. The anime I watch these days is... nothing. I'm kinda bored about the whole thing, although I bought Paprika, which rocks, and watched Read Or Die the TV, thanks to Bouddha, who's hogging all the rest of the good stuff, the bastard. I went back to checkin' out old DBZ episodes, though, this summer, and had a lot of trouble figurin' out how we could find it so good. It takes ages for anything to happen. Maybe it's because I didn't follow things cleanly and stuff, or I guess I'm getting old. So there you have it big boy, take care of yourself and your loved ones. Bisous !
