Sorry for the gap after I made such noise about trying to get back on livejournal! I could not actually log on, and have only today taken the time to sort that out. I think what happened is that I changed my password after the heartbleed thing and then just kept typing it wrong, given the apparent lack of changes to my account settings. But if I've ( Read more... )

1. That many people choose which schools they'd like to apply to based not on the school's reputation, but on particular faculty with whom they'd like to work.
2. That what I interpreted as an "example" proposal in the application was in fact my proposal for my thesis, and should have perhaps have been considered with slightly more gravitas ( Read more... )

So that's something, at least. ^^;; I feel I should confess that I'm spending way more time over at tumblr, but in all honesty all I do there is rebagel. I've mostly just not been blogging at all. Which I kind of miss! How else am I supposed to remember anything I did ever ( Read more... )

Just buried. I'm in the last couple months of my grad program, so things are getting a bit intense. I'm still enjoying it, I'm just focused on writing and working out what happens next.

Just got 22 notifications, 20 of which were spam and one of which I was "not authorized to view." Come on lj, get yourself together!

In other news, my first draft for my research paper went well! :D

In a continuation of a story I mentioned last year, the UBC TA union is currently on strike. I've been oddly unaffected by it, since I'm not actually a TA this semester. (Next semester I'm a TA for African history, which will be... interesting.) A lot of ny friends have been out on the picket line though, and it's been interesting to see how unions ( Read more... )

My roommate and I watched the first two episodes of Arrow the other day, and I was surprisingly intrigued.

Mostly, this is a function of the flashbacks they're using. The present storyline is better than expected (though not amazing. it's got potential). What's got me interested, though, is the secondary storyline. The show starts with Oliver Queen ( Read more... )
