He said he was dumbfounded that the burglar also had the “weird” habit of cleaning up the mess he had made after entering the building.

I’m not sure why that’s amusing, but it is

Both men said fleeting video images showed the burglar as being a tall, skinny Caucasian. He has left DNA evidence at the crime scene.

The other day on This Hour Has 22 Minutes they did this fake newscast thing where the anchor kept calling a feminist a lesbian (I think) but she called her a raging vagitarian. I shot milk through my nose.

  • saw backstage at the radio city music hall, took a picture of the john lennon painting that is the cover for the imagine movie and soundtrack…
  • walked through central park, saw some incredible street performers…
  • took a cab ride. scariest thing ever…

the place is amazing.

I just love going to Times Square at 3am and having people walking around just like it’s day time, and it all lit up. I love cities that are alive at night.

I have a number of friends that went through culinary school and all of them have had some great jobs and some pretty cool adventures. I was often rather jealous of their travels while I tried to climb the ladder from cubicle to corner office.

One worked for many of the high-end CP resorts and is now a sommelier at a very fancy pants west coast resto. Another worked right across North America and is now a wine importer here in Toronto (he spends his summers in Burgundy. Tough life). And a third has travelled the world with Hyatt – he’s currently working in Bangkok.

On the other hand I’m a pretty good cook and I’ve considered going to culinary school if not for the horrible working conditions. Working as a cook moving up to being a chef you’re looking at ten hour days ending at 2am six days a week and working as fast as you possibly can all day.

Sadly the anecdotes are usually way more interesting than the friends. The guy who couldn’t hack it as a sous chef is now a long-distance truck driver and all of his stories involve traffic and bad driving. I liked him far better when he was learning to be a saucier.

The wine industry guys are golden though. I’ve learned to never say no to a dinner invitation with them…

Gah!!!!!!

I hate, repeat, HATE dealing with school.

First, lineups are so insane, I had to leave, as I had more things to do at home, then the web did not help at all (really? pages with information from 2007 is not helpful!) and then the phones went down for most of the afternoon. After waiting on hold for half an hour, and finally finding who I had to talk to, I call, and that person isn’t there, but leaves another contact, and after twenty minutes, I determine that the entire department seems to be out. And you can’t leave voicemails!

I hate school! Argh!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not jaded, I'm just realistic.

It really does. I had forgotten, what with my being a working stiff for a while, but since I’ve been back, I’m remembering the idiocy. And today? Was just the last freaking straw. I’m so very, very angry.

One time last year, there was a giant storm, and I thought my afternoon class might be cancelled. Since I didn’t want to trek down there to find that out, I checked the website. Nothing about school closing, except for a notice about night school classes being cancelled due to a 6pm shut down. So, I call the support line, and wait on hold, again, forever, and listen to lots of info about the 6pm shutdown, and other useless stuff. Finally, I talk to someone, and she says that school is closed from noon, and that I should have checked the website. When I told her I did, she said it was there. Then, I swore. When I thought I had hung up, but apparently not. Classy.

My father keeps saying I should just demand things, because I am the customer. You can tell it has been ages since he was in school. Just because we pay them, doesn’t mean we get any kind of say in things. I’m reaching for the gin now…

I'm not jaded, I'm just realistic.

I had this guy obviously going back to school to learn to be an engineer who was around 40 in my electric circuit theory class. He asked questions he obviously knew the answer to constantly.

After three lectures of him butting in constantly he asked some stupid question like:

“So you’re saying that V=IR?”

and I yelled from the other end of the hall

“That’s what the first line of the textbook says Grandpa.”

We never saw him again, maybe he killed himself.

Thanks for the advice – it’s in a field that I have absolutely zero experiece and zero background in. In fact I had to interview with the prof to get accepted into the course.

Maybe I’ll just ask for all examples in class to be applied to hockey analogies.

I think hockey analogies are always the way to go. At least people would be interested in what you have to say, rather than a regurgitation of what the professor said with different words and adding a question at the end.

“Huh, that’s a good point. Considering it’s exactly what I just said.”

As a mature student?

I have to say, expect complete and totally stupidity on the part of many of your fellow students. Oh sure, some will be delightful, but others will make you wonder how in the hell they were ever admitted. (no offense to the younger students here, as I know you all fall in the awesome category)

What are you going to take?

It’s an urban planning course. First half of the semester is theory and in the back half we have to go out into a community in Toronto and actually work with the locals.

In the past they’ve done green roofs, educational partnerships etc. I think we’re doing lack of primary health care in south Riverdale/Regent Park. The final is a presentation/recommendations to all the government agencies involved.

It’s at Ryerson.

Innis College at U of T had some really fascinating urban planning courses that I was interested in, but weren’t so, shall we say open, to allowing a mature student with no official training in the field to enroll.

We’ll see how it goes, I’m not exactly wired for school (was expelled from high school, graduated from adult nightschool and I have no idea how I finished my BA).

I tried to do a Masters at U of T in the late 90s and didn’t make it past my first half-credit.

For me it wasn’t the schedules…in high school I just didn’t care. In Uni I had a hard time being engaged by theory. Practical/applicable stuff I couldn’t get enough of.

It’s funny, I adore books, learning, reading, debating and discussing ideas yet I really get a case of the willies in any academic environment.

I guess it depends on the course. Upper level courses or courses that require more than a passing knowledge are usually not full of fail. But a few of the journalism courses I took had a bunch of “mature” students who absolutely grated my teeth with their talks about their life and how uninteresting your article will actually be.

by bkblades on Jan 7, 2009 4:37 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I fail on my commenting.

I’m a mature student who can’t stand the whiny kids who don’t understand how to cite their work. I don’t talk about my life experience, I just want to learn, but I find that they are more concerned with getting good grades for nothing, because that’s apparently what they are getting in high school.

And now, I’ll shake my cane and complain about you youngsters.

I like the so-called “older” students, and some of the 50+ crowd are great people. But it’s the ones that are so eager and ambitious, yet they’re taking an introductory course to magazine writing. And yet, they give tips to us. Go figure.

by bkblades on Jan 7, 2009 4:43 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I can understand the getting good grades for nothing because in the end, most jobs people get have nothing to do with their eventual career. example: my sister was a French and education major in college, worked as a high school teach a few years, and now works at an insurance company. It’s partially why I’m getting average marks, since I know what I’m doing will likely have no bearing on my job future so long as I have the degree itself (as my brothers used to say, “D for Diploma!”) I see it as “why work yourself stupid for something that won’t matter?”

nah

not really, I don’t think. As long as you have learned to teach yourself, which is likely if you’ve been in post secondary for an extended time. Most people who end up in dead end jobs, or hate their job, it’s because they don’t have initiative or are unable/unwilling to teach themselves things as they go. Or so it seems in my limited experience.

by Karina on Jan 7, 2009 4:51 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm all about the fail today

I meant, getting good grades for not actually having to do any work. Like trying to get the prof to give out marks for little in class things that we can do in groups and have that be the bulk of their mark instead of the midterm, paper and final it says on the syllabus.

I know what we go to school for doesn’t really mean anything, but I hate it when someone wants an A for knowing what formula to use for a math problem (not actually using it, but just knowing which one they should use) when I’m actually getting an A for being able to solve the problem (That is a true story from last semester)

One time I dropped a class I didn’t need, and called the aid office so they can adjust my money in proportion to my credit hours. I did it once before and I came out even. In fact, the uni ended up refunding me like 70 bucks. So I do it again and they insist I owed them 700 bucks. I was like NO I DON’T! And they changed my aid statements so I couldn’t prove they were wrong.
