the end is near.. apocalypse now<\/a> [the first time i saw it (in highschool) i did not like this movie. then i saw ‘the making of apocalypse now and i loved it. and now i think if i see AN again, i’ll like it]. this really is too bright. i always try to keep the colors dark so that any lurker lurking around at night (with the lights off in his\/her room) wont go ‘yearrrrrggghhh too bright<\/em>‘ if he\/she stumbles here. and the new monitors dont have that old-fashioned knob to increase\/decrease the brightness and contrast. instead they have a button that brings up a menu on the screen and then you have to scroll down and select contrast\/brightness and then click the other button and that brings up yet another menu and then<\/strong> you get to change the settings by pressing the up or down butons. so basically by the time you change the settings, you’re 30% blind.<\/p>\n

tuesdays are my fav day of the week. mondays i have class at 9am and so mondays is suck but then tuesday is right around the corner and since i have only one class on tuesday [@2 pm], it’s a virtual weekend all over again. IF i dont have anything due on wednesday and i usually dont. all the assgnments are due on either thursday or on friday. today was tuesday.<\/p>\n

one of the few things i like about TO is driving on the highways. I had to goto Steeles + DonMills and so had to take Highway 401 and then 404 to Steeles Ave. The highways here are huge; 4 express lanes + 3 collector lanes + bridges merging in and branching out all from all over. There is this stretch on the 401 where you pass under 8 bridges in less than a minute. At one time there are three bridges over you; one above the other. The 410 bridge from 401 East and the Gardiner East exit from 427 South are so high theyre scary. They remind me of snakes whenever i see them.<\/p>\n

The other thing i would miss if i ever get out of here is The Humble & Fred Show<\/a> on Edge102<\/a>. I listen to that show on mon, tue, and fri when going to the 9am class.<\/p>\n

Went to Math class at 2pm. I have a 25% take-home test for it due on thursday. I’ve done part of it. The rest i guess i’ll do on wednesday. That class was fun. Not anymore. All this new weird stuff is confusing. Network flows<\/a>, Graph Colouring<\/a>, Isomorphism<\/a>, etc was interesting. But Generating Functions<\/a>, Permutations<\/a>, and similar stuff is ugh.<\/p>\n

That’s uhh.. about it. Another day gone like the wind…<\/p>\n
