Woo! I’m going to see Snow Patrol in May with Tatjana (and possibly Jenn if she decides she’s gonna stop being a douche bag and come). I’m pretty excited. Not nearly as excited as Ms. Tatjana is, but then again, she thinks she’s gonna marry Gary Lightbody. Ya, I don’t know either. Personally, I like the one that looks like Norman Reedus. Okay, so in that picture he looks more like a coke addict, but whatever. He’s still better looking. Mr. Lightbody isn’t exactly the cat’s meow himself.

In other news, I got a B+ on my Global Studies midterm, woo, go me. And an A- on my Ideas 400 midterm. I won’t mention the Espionage midterm because, to be fair, I wasn’t there for the whole class (switched into it two weeks after school started) so I didn’t have all of the notes. I passed, but .. well, it was a C-, okay? Not my shining moment. Neither was Statistics, which I know I failed utterly. Ugh. It was all of the math, I tell you!

Honestly, math and I do not get along. We exchanged words in grade eleven and suffice it to say, math left in tears and we haven’t spoken since. So now that I’m being forced to … fraternise with math again, it’s just a tough process, really. Besides, I asked three or four people for all of the formulas before the midterm and everyone, everyone dismissed me saying that the formulas would be on the midterm. Fat lot of help they were! All I wanted them for was to practice, not because I needed to memorise them. I knew perfectly well they would show up on the midterm, but I sure as hell didn’t know how to use some of them. I’m sure if I had the opportunity to study them, I would have, though It’s not terribly difficult stuff, just something my oh-so-not analytical brain needs a little extra help with.

I’ve gone off on math again. Woe. Subject change.

So, after Nick mentioned that Arne probably has more useful tools at his disposal, being an ex-spy after all, in reference to my mentioning Arne googling himself and finding my website, I pondered a bit. I know, that last sentence was terrible and riddled with grammatical suicide, but it’s late and I’m really only rambling. But I digress. In all honesty, I don’t think Arne would call up any of his spy buddies, nor does he regularly do so to check who’s been talking about him. Sometimes I google my own name, when I’m bored, so I was thinking, perhaps he does so as well. He’s more famous than I am, having written more books than me, and spent more time in the public eye than I have, strictly as a pundit I assume, I think if I were in his place I would google myself on the odd occasion.

Being the nosy parker that I am, I decided to google him. 193 results. Arne, if you’re reading this, why are you so bloody famous? Do you know how many results come up for me? Six. That’s quite a difference. Well, anyway, I decided to peruse them. Turns out, my website is number eleven. And yes, I have mentioned his last name, in brackets, right next to his first name, so if there were any doubt in his mind if some other Arne was teaching at Ryerson about Espionage, he’d know right away that it’s not the other Arne but him. :O

Can you tell that I’m tired? And why am I just rambling on and on about this professor? Well, you know you’ve left an indelible impression on someone when she can’t stop talking gushing(?) about you on the World Wide Web.

I’m gonna chalk these rather Ryerson-oriented posts as presents for the dear, sweet Alex who says she visits everyday You’re still a sweetheart. And I enjoyed the Timbits after I failed my midterm. They certainly helped.

EDIT: OMG, there is another Glory Fades. I don’t know whether to be upset or to ask the person to be my bosom pal. Coincidentally, we’re both involved at TFL. She must know I own this domain, it’s plastered all over my signature at the boards and I’m on there often! How positively rude

EDIT #2: I have now fixed the contact form, in case anyone is wondering. And it is now 4:24am. Yes, I am an insomniac. :crazy:
