School's Out...Technically

    Yup, end of the year. There wasn't any huge celebration at the end of the day Friday, there were too few people still present to actually startsomething like that. I myself went to a Subway near by with my friend Sean and Amiri and then went home to maybe play some video games. Exams start tomorrow, even though we had some in-class ones during the last month. The Math one had something to do with making a board game out of the Amazing Race show (copyright infringement ftw!), which is apparently the most popular show the Quebec School Board could think of...I would have prefered a House exam though, figuring out the area and volume things would seem so much more fun if it was House's cane.

    I recently got the Flock web browser, which can be at times both annoying and helpful. It's great if you spent a lot of time on the internet using social networks like Digg and Facebook, and its pretty fast overall. But sometimes some of the functions get in the way, you'll see what I mean if you take the time and download it.

    In music that I care about news: I recently discovered A Tribe Called Quest, a fantastic hip-hop band with great samples and better lyrics, as well as Groove Armada, a duo of DJs with a real knack for nice relaxing music as well as catchy club beats. If you ever see any albums by them lying around by either of these two groups, give it a listen, you'll love it.

    Getting back to the subject of my exams, which I know is everyone's favourite topic (right?...RIGHT?!?), my other in-class exam was my English one, the class run by a crazy Newfie with some serious self-control problems. But that's a deifferent story. The exam itself was entirely based around our opinions on a short story (I forget the name, I don't think I even read it.). Yes, our exam was based on OPINIONS; we are being judged on our opinions. Although I suppose grammar and spelling does come into play in the marking process, it wasn't specifically mentioned anywhere in the thick-as-a-book notebook. I basically spent the 5 days in class listening to Daft punk and copying the "in group" questions off of the people conveniently located in the vague proximity of my English class seating near the rear window. Although I'm pretty sure I passed the damn thing with flying colours, it worries me a bit how our Quebec Reform (read up) is actually setting back our learning process decades at a time, and as my specific  graduating year is the Guinea Pig year, I expect nothing but more of this crap in my next two years.

    Anyway, thanks for reading, I'll update after my exams are done (Friday)...unless I forget.
