You got to be kidding me I haven't wrote in this in like 4 months? Oh goodness...this is a new low even for me. =/ Oh well, been busy!
This sort of makes up for it, but considering that I write more in my MSN space than this makes me depressed.
Ah...need to study Accounting.
Christina Aguilera - Blessed
When I think, how life used to be
Always walking in the shadows
Then I look at what you've given me
I feel like dancing on my tip-toes
I must say, everyday I wake
And realize you're by my side
I know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me
Blessed for all the tenderness you show
Do my best with every breath that's in me
Blessed, to make sure you never go
There are times that test your faith
'Til you think you might surrender
Baby I'm, I'm not ashamed to say
That my hopes were growing slender
You walked by in the nick of time
Looking like an answer prayer
You know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me
Blessed for all the tenderness you show
Do my best with every breath that's in me
Blessed, to make sure you never go
Blessed with love and understanding
Blessed when I hear you call my name
Do my best with faith that's never-ending
Blessed, to make sure you feel the same
Deep inside of me you fill me with your gentle touch
You know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me
Blessed for all the tenderness you show
Do my best with every breath that's in me
Blessed, to see you never,never,never go

Hehe, I'm know I'm truly blessed. =) I can't believe how I'm such a little girl like to see life in such ignorance bliss still. ^^ You seem to simply just inspire me and make my day just so much better. You have no idea how thankful I am to feel this blessed. =) Thank you. ^^
I don't think anyone knows why this entry is here...I'm not telling.
Yes, it's school related by I don't care! Nyah! =P
My Accounting Professor's office hours:
I'm upset, my Accounting Professor isn't teaching tutorials on Wednesday. =*( He had it last semester and I thought I was lucky, but no...he teaches on Thursday. Boo!! And he doesn't have class on Wednesday morning anyways. More boo!!!
My Economics Professor's office hours:
My Computer Science Professor's office hours:
I simply just need this for future references just in case. And it's simply nice randomness. =)
It has been brought to my attention that I've been writing endlessly about school and I really am a nerd. ^^; So, for something unrelated and funny. =)
I don't remember when I saw this, but I believe it's sometime earlier in Decemeber, and I was laughing endlessly about this. ^^ Then I saw it when I was watching The Hour and they had this top 5 stuff of the year. They had these guys at #2 on the top 5 webvideos and when I saw it on television, I remember it and I was just as amused the second time around. ~-^
As the title says, it's the Chinese Backstreet Boys (or the Back Dorm Boys as they refer themselves too) where you have two college students lip-syncing to Backstreet Boys, but their expression and how they sing it is so utterly amusing. =D As well, keep your eyes in the background, there's a guy that looks totally oblivious of what the two guys are doing. >xD I showed it to my brother and he adores it just as much as I do. Here's it is, the guys singing "I Want It That Way".
Back Dorm Boys - I Want It That Way
There's more videos of them doing other Backstreet Boys spoofs, and this is the link and you can find more about them too. =)
One of the most amusing things I've seen in a long time. They're even more entertaining than the orginal Backstreet Boys. =P
Crossed posted from my livejournal
Alright, time for a proper journal entry for this holiday, but before that I just want to write about school. =P I just realized that I really didn't really write much about it this year, I wrote some things, but really not anything. I know, that really didn't make much sense, but 'tis alright. =P Anyways, first semester of university all done and goodness, plenty more to go. --** Oh well. =)
ECMA04H - Introductory to Microeconomics: A Mathematical Approach
I had Professor Cleveland to teach me and he is an awesome professor. =) The way that he presents the material is engaging in class, he's very clear and it makes sense. He has a good sense of humor in class and he can be kind of boring or lame in that way, but he tries nonetheless. Like once in class he was saying how Economics was like a fairy tale story and tried to make a story of it. ^^; I'll always remember how he was saying like the big, bad monopoly and him singing Barenaked Ladies, "If I Had A Million Dollars" to explain Economics! =D
I got a chance to talk to him twice, and the last time I talked to him he was really nice. He helped me out and we got a chance to talk a bit and he's really insightful and amusing. Not to mention he's really passionate about Economics, which I find really great and rather adorable. ^^; He has bookshelves of Economics books and textbooks. As well, more hidden in boxes around his office. I pointed that out when I talked to him and he said something that I really remember, "You see this as all Economics, one thing. To me it's all different things, yes it's all about Economics, but there's so much different things about it. You'll find this out when you find yourself into something." =) I really do admire him being so passionate about Economics and I really do hope that I do become very passionate about something. One thing that I like about him too is that he lets our class early everytime! =D! And it's not by 10 minutes, he would let us out like half and hour early. I know that many students adore him and I don't blame them, I really like him myself. =) Unfortunately he's not teaching next semester. =*(
This course itself is not difficult and it is pretty easy, but its very easy to be lost easily. I don't remember having much headache from this course than my other ones thankfully and my TA helped me out quite a bit. =) My TA is really cool and super nice. =) She explains things really clearly and she's so much fun to talk to sometimes. I remember when a student asked her this question and it was similar to one that was done in the tutorial and she was scolding him. =P It was cute and funny. =) I really hope that I have her again next semester for ECMA06.
LGGA30H - Introductory Spanish I
I had Professor Godde and she was really nice and has a great sense of humor. ^^ Her stories will amuse you and they are very interesting. For example, she went to Japan and she thought that her Japanese was fluent enough, so she was asking around people where were they, the people there were giving her a weird look and they didn't know what to do with her. She eventually found out where she was and what she was actually saying was where am I in this universe. xD
I don't really like this class since I really struggled with it. --* It's not difficult, but I wasn't too fond of this course. It could be better and there was a lot of older students there. =| They're really nice and all, but still that intimidation sets in anyways. I felt stupid in that class, it could have been better, but meh. =P But I do know some Spanish better than nothing. =P Now in the movies when they have those simple Spanish I can understand! Like when I was watching Madagascar at my cousins when Marty said "Mi casa es su casa", my house is your house! >xD And my cousin was telling me about the movie The 40-year old virgin when the guy said something along the line of "Me no hablo espanol!", I don't speak any Spanish! =P
MATA27H - Introduction to Optimization
I had Professor Grinnell and I said it plenty of times, he's the best. =) I said plenty about this course and my professor so I won't repeat myself. ~-^
Though I will say that the TAs for this course are terrible. It could be so much better, such as my TA. He doesn't know what he's doing half the time and it's not a good thing when you're trying to learn. >=( The material for the course wasn't too bad so then I didn't need too much help and I could always go ask my Professor too. =) My TA's quizzes are really easy though. =) But he's ruthless when it comes to mistakes and he takes out a lot. =/ A lot of people transfer to other tutorials, skipped the tutorials after the quiz was over and complained to my professor. I had a girl that yelled at him during the tutorials becuase she was arguing with my TA over something on the test and quiz saying that he doesn't know how to teacher and she doesn't know why he should be there. Though I agree with her, I don't think I would ever do that. =S Other people aren't too thrilled with their TAs for this course either. I guess it really depends on you.
MGTAB05 - Introduction to Management I
I had Professor Bovaird and...before I go in an all out bashing out on him, lets talk about the course itself because...I'll leave it to later. --* This is an extremely easy course, I cannot stress this enough, if you do the reading you will understand or if you great common sense you will be fine. The only thing that I didn't like is the essay for this course which I found to be very useless. It was okay, but I didn't get anything out of it. =/ Anyways, another thing is that the weight load of this course places a lot of pressure on the final (60%!). =S Otherwise, interesting course to get a chance to know a general idea of business.
Okay, Professor Bovaird...as much as he a nice person, he's terrible at teaching this course. We spent about five weeks on the first three chapters in the textbook and there wasn't much to cover!! WTH!? I think one thing that one thing that many will despise him for is his blunder with the midterm. During the midterm he clarify one of the question becuase it had some awkward phrasing. No problem, but he only did it for two of the classrooms where the midterm was held out of the three and it was towards the end of the midterm too (last hour or so). There was a big mess afterward. The people complained that it wasn't fair that he gave the clairfication to some classes while not to others, so then at first he decided to cut that question. Then other complained that it wasn't fair since some people may have not study and just riding off free marks. In the end he decided to choose the higher mark between cutting out the last question or not. Personally, I think that he shouldn't have done anything and left the last question in. I'm sorry for some people who did not get that question and did studied, but I can't help to think that question was not that difficult. It wasn't anything that he didn't already go over in class and it was in the textbook. I won't comment on it too much since I did get the question regardless of Boavrid's clarification. I agree with my cousin that Bovaird should have <u>NEVER</u> said anything in the first place. So stupid goodness. To sum up, he made a stupid question and he did something stupid to appease everyone.
Generally, his priorities are all over the place and he's so boring in class. I find myself falling asleep in class most of the time. =/ His notes aren't useful and its pretty much similar to the textbook. He repeats what people ask in class and he doesn't seem like he knows what he's doing. I'm so damn fusterated at him the course could be so much better. Stupid Bovaird. >=( I hope next semester would be better.
MGTB05H - Financial Accounting I
I had Professor Quan Fun and he's a nice guy, I perfer him over Professor Chen any day. I found that Professor Quan Fun really took in our suggestion and really prepared us well for the exam (which I did well in the finals to pull up like 10% ). =) I have Professor Chen for my tutorials and I hate the fact that everytime in the tutorial she's telling us she'll post it up on the intranet...the problem is that the people who are not in her lectures can't get the extra stuff! >=( As well, I don't think she utilizes her time well since I'm always finding that we are running out of time in class and she doesn't get a chance to cover the more difficult examples. She always tries to do things that would best benefit her class which is great, but I'm not in her class. When she's catching up with different things for her class that she was suppose to do in class, she makes it up in the tutorials, which is a repeat for me. My professor already went through everything, I don't want her to repeat it again. >=/ I think I would like Chen better if I were in her class, but otherwise I'll take Quan Fun.
This course is difficult for me. I hate Accounting with a passion and I really didn't want to take it but it's required because UT wants us to "well rounded". --* Stupid UT. It's not too bad if you go for the extra help if you need it, if you understand the assignments and you do understand it, you should be fine. Personally for myself, I just despise it.
I found that in my class in Accounting I always felt a little out of place since there are so many people who seem to want to pursue a career in Accounting, while I would rather do Marketing. Being in that case, I felt so stupid and out of place. I lacked some serious interest in this course and I felt terrible since my teacher had such enthusiasm in this course. Also, most of the people there was in co-op too, being in just the regular program felt a little out of place with everyone. =S I don't know, I guess I just felt weird there, but it's okay.
One thing that I did really like about this course was that it was easier to meet people. =) It isn't really easy to meet people in Economics or Management, Math was alright, but then you don't really see them afterward. ^^; For Accounting I got to meet people and stayed in pretty good contact with them too. =) They are really nice, though I felt bad again because most of the time people were able to remember who I was, but I couldn't remember who they were. ^^; But I had a great time in the class because I got to meet some new people, it made it just so much better and easier in class. =P As well, I meet someone who I get to bash Accounting with. >x3 Teehee.
Everyone, my reviews and a glimpse in my first semester.
<Crossed-post from my livejournal>
NOTE:This was written about two days ago, but I this has been sticking around in my head and I just feel like posting this around =) So there's a reason why it may seem weird some of the references to dates.
I came back not so long ago from school and I was talking to my Math Professor for about 2 hours asking him about problems and just chatting with him. I know I said this already, but he is absolutely the best teacher (not professor, but teacher) I ever had. I never had a teacher that understood students so well and as a result communicated things so clearly. =) I never had a teacher that is so patience and so calm when he talks (especially when he's talking about Slipknot! >x3).
I can spend a lot of time just listening to him talk about his experience. He takes all the time to make sure he explains things clearly to us, he's everything that you want in a teacher and more. =) I wish I could take some sort of Math course in the future so that I can have him. I honestly won't mind taking a math course if I had him as a teacher. Unfortunately, but I'm so grateful that I'm so fortuante to have such an amazing teacher (Haha...thanks to my sister for reccomending him! =)).
It's no wonder he got the teacher award which students vote for.
Today was the last lecture too for MATA27.
I'm going to miss him. =*(
One thing that I found very true about when I was talking to him was that in University, professors and students are very much in the same level (or that they see more eye to eye), while in high school, it was as if the teacher was superior than the student. Perhaps that despite being challenged so much here, I actually enjoy it here becuase I am enjoying my courses, but then the professors are so nice and inviting. =) Thank goodness for UTSC fairly small classes for the most part. =D
