End of Term Wrap Up
This is my End of Term Wrap Up for term 2 of Winter 2009 (following last term).
...hated this term, so more bitching than usual... ...remind me to never take 6 courses with final exams simultaneously ever again...
Facebook is creating more privacy issues…
Lifehacker >> Delete Facebook Apps that Now Have Greater Access to Your Data
Apparently Facebook has decided to allow apps to keep data that you've allowed them to take (data which initially was deleted within 24 hours of being obtained). I don't know if this impacts you, but you may or may not want to uninstall some of your Facebook apps... ...especially since some people have so many of them...
On exams…
So, today was my first of six exams (GEOB 103) and it was also my first time ever going to the wrong exam room: Parris and I went to Osborne Gym instead of Memorial Gym (because I'm supposed to actually keep track of which gym is which?!).
An unrelated note: UBC, please never schedule exams on 4/20 ever again! There were so many people smoking pot on the bus, I swear I was going to be intoxicated by the time I got to my exam -.-;;
...that being said, it was amusing noticing things today such as somebody being so high that they walked away from the bus without their bike, and then had to chase down the bus to get their bike before it drove away...
ATTN: Those Who Want A Rapid Transit Line To UBC
Hey everyone, just thought I'd bring this to your attention. It appears Translink is back to putting thought into making a Rapid Transit Line to UBC. Please lend them your feedback, even if it's just a brief "JUST DO IT" :3
We want your thoughts on rapid transit to UBC! http://ow.ly/1773ga

“Mrs Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf
Mrs Dalloway is a short, fictional novel by Virginia Woolf. It follows the thoughts and actions of several guests prior to and during a dinner party. The only real "action" in the book is a suicide, though even that is only barely described. That being said, this is one of the most boring books I've read; it was good, however, for putting me to sleep at night.
Vaccination Poetry
This is some poetry I wrote for an ASIC 200 project... ...I'm not exactly a great poet, but hopefully they get the point across :)
“A Clockwork Orange” by Anthony Burgess

Science can answer moral questions
As found on the Terry* website:
...this summer will resume the morality debate...
“Ten Little Indians” by Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians (aka. And Then There Were None) is a fictional novel. It is a murder mystery following ten people who get invited to Indian Island, only to find out that they're stranded there and that somebody is out to kill them. Because the book was so short, so too will be this review.
