Got my Social Distortion tickets today. The date has changed since I bought them, so now I'm going to the Edmonton show on April 22. It looks like we probably could have gone to Vancouver after all because they added some extra dates and now they are playing there the day after Katie's last exam. Oh well. Oh yeah, Katie is my wicked girlfriend. She...

I'm back. Hooray.

Nothing new to say. First update in a month. I live without internet these days. Woe is me.

Well, wrote my last final this morning. I'd shout that school's out, but you know, I am working on my thesis all summer so it's not really. It's still nice to be done coursework for the semester. I should be heading back home for the summer later this week. I can't wait to see my family and my friends. I love them all so much...

It's been a while since I've updated this thing. Thanks for the birthday wishes, you're all sweethearts. I've had a good week. Dates with three different pretty ladies. Good times. Amazing for a social recluse like me. I feel proud. Too bad I'm leaving this shitty city for ths summer.

Marked 34 papers today. Mind is numb. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. Fuck yeah!

I got my grade back for the lit review. B+. Good enough. Also got my grade for the class. A-. Also good enough. I am glad that it is over. Now I can focus on my other work for the rest of the month and get back to my thesis when this semester is over.

Sent my lit review in to my supervisor not too long ago. My brain literally feels like it's going to explode. I swear I can feel it pulsing against my skull.

Update: Initial draft of literature review completed. 32 pages in length. I'm not entirely happy with how it has turned out. Revisions underway.

Lit review progress report: 19 pages down, 10-15 more to go. Due Sunday night. Seems pretty doable.

This morning I presented my initial thesis proposal to my supervisor and a fellow grad student. My supervisor suggested a few minor revisions, but gave me the green light to take the next step and start planning my thesis proposal defence for my committee. A relatively small accopmlishment, but it felt pretty good.

I felt really sorry for the other student though as he was...

Canada lost. Not a big surprise given their play in the round robin. I'm not a Bertuzzi hater, (although he's a fucking slug this year) but Ovechkin's goal was on the power play resulting from a bad penalty he took. Maybe all of those Bertuzzi nay-sayers were onto something. You can hardly fault him for their loss though. I'm going to go way out on...
