Last Exam, and Other Ramblings

So, I've written 4 exams so far. To be honest, I've found them relatively easy and straightforward, though others' reactions worry me a bit in that maybe I missed something that I shouldn't have. I'm going to Vancouver in one day =) so I'm pretty excited for that as well!

It's interesting to see how the Conservatives vs Coalition debate plays out. I think both sides have valid points, but it's just a shame to see how everything has turned out. To see the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc try to overthrow the government at such a time where we need solid leadership. Who knows how long the coalition will last.

Or to see the Conservatives prolong Parliament, shutting it down until January, just to try and hold onto power. Of course, the Conservatives aren't exactly offering the kind of strengths we need in our government at this point in time, either.

I think the interesting thing is how we're so naive as people. How we can be influenced by words such as "coup" and "undemocratic."

We need to move to a Single-Transferable-Vote system. Although that would lead to minorities all the time.

First Exam

Hmm...

I went through my first university final. Wasn't too bad. It's definitely a lot harder than in high school, and requires a lot more studying. But overall, I think I did okay.

4 more to go, and they only get harder =(

Success!

Yesterday, I got the good news that one of my applications (for ASEC Winter Board... I did not get accepted into a Firat Year Position in the Fall) went through, and I got the position! It's great to see things turn around, and it really is a blessing (along with the help of some people, they know who they are).

On another related note, exams are coming up, with my first one this Saturday. Here's to hoping I do well! Studying hard >.<
