I have come to the conclusion that halways need to be like roads. People who walk slow, or stop to chat in the middle of the hall drive me nuts. They don't even have the curtesy (sp?) to move to the side, so people can actually walk, and get to class. If there were no people in the halls, or they all walked as fast as i did, then i could leave just over5 minutes b4 class and still be on time (instead of 10 minutes at least)...that is some high quality sleep/tv/lunch time right there. So why can't the halways, have "slow walkers keep right" rules? It makes perfect sense to me. then they also wouldn't get pushed out of the way, b/c of all the ppl they tick off.
and another thing...i admit to being a bad citizen...i voted in the federal election, b/c i was home at the time, so it was easy. however, the mayorial and provincial election, not so much. i feel guilty, and kinda hypocritacal, since i was all about telling ppl to exercise their right to vote when they turned 18 and such. my "excuse" is that since i still consider myself to live at home (ie in calgary) even though i am attending school elsewhere, and since i wasn't at home for the election, it made it very difficult to vote. I mean, its enough hassel as it is to find out about the people running, but then i would have had to get some kind of special ballot - right in the middle of midterms no less. no wonder university students don't vote. most of them live away from home. In theory, would it not make sense to have some way for all students to vote for their riding ON CAMPUS? i mean, instead of leaving it completely up to students to get the special ballots themselves, allow us to bring proof of our permanent address, and then give us the right ballot for our riding (they could have it on a computer or something). then they could count them up (They;d be counting ballots anyway). In theory, it would get alot more students voting,. i think, if they could go on campus, b/w classes or something. Students hate hassels, and going out of their way to do things for the most part - no wonder 18-24 has such a low voter turnout.
anyway, there's my rants for now...for those that have them (most, if not all of you, i assume) best of luck on finals! see you - i better see you - at christmas!!!
ps. my birthday is tomorrow!!!!
