I just joined a group on facebook that pokes fun  at the eccentricities of grad student life. the fucked-up thing is that it makes me yearn to go back to grad school. as if it was so much fun the first time that i want to go back for another round. but phd in florence? research and italy? not having to get a real job? sounds pretty fucking ( Read more... )

I must say that I'm looking forward to my new job. I went today to sign the contract and I found out that I'll be going to Madrid in two weeks. Yes, its work, but in fucking Spain. And, I might be going to Vilnius in May. You know what this means? Cheap-ass third world cigarettes!!!! No more value brands for me ( Read more... )

That shit is going to cost me EUR 220! What the fuck?! How typically me to lose 15 kilos at a time when I can't afford to deal with the resultant clothing requirements. If you`ll excuse me, I'm going out to buy butter, cheese and other fattening crap in the hopes of slowing this rampant weightloss.

Well, I'n not really unemployed. I was just hired at a political think tank, but that doesn't change the fact that I finished my last stage on 12 March and this one doesn't start until 6 April. I am climbing the walls out of boredom. At least it gives me time to take care of random shit, like I don't know, going to city hall and legalising my ( Read more... )

I haven't written anything here in two years. I guess this is a function of my general contentness combined with my utter laziness. I just don't have it in me to continue with my education. Having moved to the other side of the world to do the most demanding schooling of my life has just proved that I'm not cut out for academia. This master's will ( Read more... )

holy crap! this is my first entry in ages, and i have so much to say in the remaining half hour until the library closes. i went to europe in may and it was AMAZING. the pics are on my facebook profile. belgium, germany, france and luxembourg. awesomeness. there were about 50 of us from across canada, though the six of us from UBC almost ( Read more... )

my flatmates are the most inconsiderate people I know. Last night I went to bed at about 11.45, only to be woken up 15 minutes later by the flatmates coming back from Koerners. The ruckus that ensued from pot and further alcohol consumption kept me up until 04.30. And I had to get up at 7. Not cool. I'm a fairly reasonable person, and I've made ( Read more... )
