March 02 - March 20

I should be finishing my data analysis project. This is the last project I really have to worry about before exams. I have a philosophy paper left, but it shouldn't be too hard.

I dropped finance. Probably the smartest move of my academic career. I'm tired of rushing through university and not getting the grades. At first i thought nothing of the fact that I have been dubbed a 3rd year student by UofT already. Then it hit me. Half of it is already over. I'm halfway through university. The marks matter more then ever before. So the plan is to take the summer off this year and just work, hopefully. Either I get a job through co-op, make some cash and get some experience then drop out of co-op after, or if I don't get a job, then drop out of co-op now and find work on my own. Regardless, I want to focus on school from here on. As of now it seems more likely that I would persue my masters in economics then get my MBA, so keeping up the grades is more important then 'gaining experience' in the field of office administration. It's at a point now where I can very easily justify an exit from co-op but I can't justify my reasons for having stayed in it for so long.

We lost in the semi-finals for intramural soccer. Just like in outdoor. Well, last year we lost in the quarter-finals, so i guess I can can at least appreciate the forward trend. Interhouse is going to entail a difficult playoff campaign, but we'll win. My position as VP Finance SCAA is almost secure. I don't think anyone is running against me. Such is my prowess at school! That'll be good for the resumé, and might make me a few extra bucks.

I finally saw Busta Rhymes in concert. It was amazing. It was everything I dreamed it would've been, except for the part where he calls me up on stage to spit the lyrics to "Party is goin on over here" with him. He never did that. But the concert was awesome nonetheless. My brother and I are content now. That's something that was on both of our "Lifetime To-do's" list. I can't put it into words how great it was, but it lit a fire under me. That concert was a well needed pit-stop for me. Now I have enough gas for the remaining laps.

I didn't exactly ask the girl out myself in person this time. I got my friend to feel her out. Nonetheless, today was the day for rejection #4. It's official, she doesn't like me. So I'm more or less 0 for 4, so to speak. (Although, I eventually had a few brief flings with rejection #3, but that came much later). It's funny, That's all I have to say about it really.
