Wikipedia told me that King Martin Luther loved the Jews

So, you know all that permission I had to get to retake Math 213....let's go through it shall we.
First of all, the woman who works at the Faculty of Science Student Services is like the nicest person I ever met. So, anyway, she takes me down to the Dean's office to meet with him. I have it in my head that all Deans are bastards based on my Dad's experiences with the Dean of Arts but this guy was absolutely amazing. I laid out what I wanted to do (take Math 213 concurrently with Stat 351 in the Fall). He said I needed the Math Department Head's permission to take the class concurrently but I "certainly had permission to retake Math 213 again". Like no fuss or anything. Awesome.

So, I head down to the Math Department just for the off-chance that the Head had a minute to discuss this with me....
Me: "Hi, is Dr. Herman available right now?"
Secretary: "Are you one of his students?"
Me: "Well, no, but I need to discuss something with him."
Secretary: "What did you need?"
Me: "I need to see if I can take a class concurrently in the Fall."
Secretary: "Oh, I think you need to discuss this with the Program Coordinator."

Ooooook. First of all, I need the HEAD'S signature for this and second all, the dean specifically told me to go meet with him, but okay. Whatever.

So, this lady comes out and asks me what I want. So I repeat my situation to her (she didn't take me into her office or anything, so this conversation happened in front of the secretaries, which I didn't appreciate). So, she says: "I'll look at your information and email an answer to you tomorrow." Cool.

Next day: no email.
But I'm thinking, the Math department is probably a busy place so I'll give it a week for her to answer.
I never heard from her.
But after a week, I decided to be smart and just to email the Head directly, explaining my situation and would he be available to meet, blah blah blah.
That was a week and half and guess what? No response.

WHAT THE FUCK? Surely I can't be the only student who's ever needed permission to take a concurrent class from this department. And I can understand that Department Head is busy, but guess what? The Economics Department has the most amount of students with the least amounts of professors and last time I emailed the Econ. Head, he replied to me THE NEXT FUCKING DAY. There's no excuse for this.

So, that means I'm taking Math 213 this summer. Which means I can't get a good 9am- 5pm job for the summer and this will be the first year ever I'm not going to Ontario.

Thanks, Math Dept! Hope you all die in a fire.

Anyway, let's talk about happier things.
Mother's Day was kind of blah. I woke up at 10am with the absolute worst pain ever. I had to get up, take some painkillers and go back to bed for an hour until they kicked in. So, I put on a pair of sweatpants and sat with Mom all day while feeling like shit. Mom also didn't have a great sleep and was tired as well. So, we just watched golf and the shopping channel.
Then, Mike came over so we can go out to dinner. He had about 2 hours of sleep the night before so didn't provide much better company. In fact, he almost fell asleep in the chair before supper.
But, we did go to Boston Pizza which was nice, he though all of us were miserable and tired. My pain came back during supper. So, I only ate a couple bites of my dinner. Sigh.
But on the plus side, Mom did seem to like her gifts. We (read: I) got her Young Victoria, a dragon cross stitch pattern and a book of Jane Austen-based sewing projects. Yay.

I didn't tell you guys my marks:

Econ 302: Intermediate Macroeconomics - 69
I'm calling that a 70. I hate Macroeconomics so it's good enough for me. Plus, I thought I did awful on the final so that might have brought it down.

Stat 354: Linear Statistical Models - 60
I hate regression. That is all.

Econ 322: Mathematical Economics - 77
This could have been in the 80's but I kind of burned out towards the end of the class. Oh well.

Stat 384: Categorical Data Analysis - 77
I liked this class a lot better than 354 (you can probably tell). again, this could have been in the 80's if I didn't screw up a couple questions on the final. i was so bitter about that.

Econ 307: Intermediate Microeconomics II - 82
Hahahahahahaha. Still don't know how I got this but I love it.

So, including Math 213, I only have seven more classes left to take. So, I'm thinking that I'll take three classes/semester and make sure I get my marks up. That should be a nice way to finish school.

Anyone watching Glee? The episodes are starting pick up again (the first few were gimmicky and weird). That last episode was amazing. Kurt's version of "Rose's Turn" was probably one the best performance I've ever seen on the show. Plus Finn doing "Jessie's Girl" and Puck doing "Lady is a Tramp" was incredible. Amazing episode.

I picked up Picross 3D the other day. Holy shit, is that game addicting. And a time eater. I played it for 5 hours the other day and I didn't even realize until I looked at the clock. LOVE IT!
I also picked up and finally beat Eliwood's chapter in the Fire Emblem that Tristan gave me over a year ago. I now just need to do Hector's chapter but I think I might take a little break from it. Although, I was curious about the sequel (it was only released in Japan) so I found an English translation on Youtube. It's kind of depressing. Plus Eliwood > Roy.
Tristan and I are also playing Tales of the Abyss again. With an online guide this time. I tried looking for the BradyGames guide but apparently it's really rare and I haven't seen it for less than $100. Uh, no thanks.

Anyway, I'm going to cut this off and possibly do something constructive. Or not. Tah!
