This week has been a week of uncertainty, a week of disarray, a week of horrible stress.
For those who are returning to Mac next year, this was the week in which uption sheets were distributed. Mac students were forced to choose their classes for next year, which can be very stressful, especially for those who have never filled out option sheets before, and those who do not yet know what courses they wish to take next year, or even what courses they will pass THIS year.
For those who will/hope to graduate this year, this is the wonderful time in which marks are first sent into universities. Also, it is during this time that some universities send out their supplimentary applications.
It's not fun to be a student at this time of the year, other than exam time, which just happened to be only a few weeks ago, this time of the year is possibly the most stressful, and the least enjoyable time to be in.
Hang in there!

Wow! Toronto, we have something to be extremely happy about. Vince Carter, the franchise player of our beloved Toronto Raptors, left his mark on the Golden State and the rest of the NBA in last week's all-star game.
Two years ago, nobody in the NBA wanted to play for the Raptors. They were one of the worst teams in the NBA. Then along came the draft of 1998, and the Raptors got Vince. Since that draft the Raptors' fortunes have been rising and it does not look like they are going to fall.
Yeah, but what about your English mark?
The Raptors are not a definite playoff contender. They have the veterans, the three point shooters, the bench players, and of course, they have the go-to-guy in Vince Carter.
Now it doesn't matter if no other players want to come to Toronto, because we have a great core of players as it is. So to all of those players who said they would never play in a horrible city like Toronto (eg. Kenny Anderson, Mookie Blaylock), in your face, because we have the best player in the world. His name is Vince Carter.

Scientists speculate that prostitution is the most ancient profession. Over the years it evolved and adapted to the customs of the times. Cars allowed the "customers" to view the "selection" in comfort. Phones eliminated the need to go outside and even the internet helped prostitution along. But this Wednesday (February 16th) our old friend, the TV, gave prostitution a hand.
Yes, as some of you may have guessed I'm writing about "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire." The show is a perfect set up for the guys. You sit behind the curtains, admire fifty young pretty women, get to pick one of them and lets not forget that you are the center of attention of the entire American and Canadian viewing audience. Of course, you have to be a multi-millionaire so that may present a small problem to a few guys out there. What a neat way to spontaneously end the waste of time called dating, the morbid feeling of reject, the eternal search for the perfect mate, and also incidentally, end love. And how would this all come to an end? You buy yourself a wife!
That's right! Fifty pretty, young women step on the stage and declare, "Sure I'll marry a complete stranger. After all, this perfect stranger is a millionaire!" This mysterious stranger simply bought himself a wife. What do you call the act of buying a woman for various pleasures? Prostitution.
"Is that your final answer, AK-47?" "Yes. Yes it is."
AK-47
P.S. By the way, did you notice that all the contestants were female? That's sexist! What if the mysterious millionaire was gay?
P.P.S. Yeah, but what about your English mark?

I know you're out there. You, the one with the talent. The one who loves to recite movie lines in front of the mirror, who can cry on cue, who has a flare for the dramatic. There are so many of you roaming around this school, with such theatrical talents, but have no idea what to do with them.
So, you want to be an actor, but have no idea how to get started in the biz. Tat was me, two years ago. I had an uncontrollable urge to act. So after months of research, taking acting and improv classes, interviewing professional actors, getting my portfolio done, and auditionning for countless theatre companies, I have finally acquired a talent agent and am on her roster for film, television, comercials, and theatre. It wasn't easy. I encountered many dead ends and wasted hundreds of dollars.
Don't worry. I'm here for you and won't let you go through all that garbage. If you want to begin your career in acting, just come and find me in room 114 next Thursday after school. I will set you up for an audition with my talent agent who is currently looking for new talent.

DVD. What does it stand for? Digital Video Disk? Digital Versatile Disk? Or just plain DVD? Whatever it stands for, no one can deny how incredible this technology is.
Within the past few months, DVDs have experienced a boom of sorts. Every movie is advertised as coming to home video and DVD, and even Disney has said their movies are on, "Disney DVD." DVDs are now mainstream.
Whay should you get a DVD player? For the simple reason of quality and quantity. The definition on picture of a DVD is much better than a VHS tape. . . even on your average television. DVDs also do not degrade over time, so you can watch your favourite scene many times without it wearing down. DVDs also usually carry many bonus features such as, "Making of"s, deleted scenes/new footage, theatrical trailers, music videos and many other great things.
DVDs can also be very well presented. The Matrix lives up to the monicker of, "DVD of the Millennium," with the excitement it is presented with. Saving Private Ryan is like a memorial to those who died in the World Wars, including a special message from Steven Spielberg about the wars. Austin Powers 2 includes a "Spyography" on Dr. Evil, presented in a mock "Biography" way.
DVDs are the wave of the future, and the way we will see movies. Yeah, but what about your English mark?

I read the designer's story on the net and it is just so cute that I had to share it. I'll skip the part about his childhood and stuff and just get to the climax! When he was in university he had to write exams which lasted 2 to 4 hours and he found that the soreness in his buttocks was unbearable! He saw the med. students wearing green hospital pants and that gave him an idea. He took a pair of them and stuch the strap from his bag through it and put it on. Seeing how amazing they felt, he decided to improve the design. He added cushioning to the seat of the pants as well as the massive back pocket and called it "exam pants". He started wearing it to school every day. Hence, he was given such nicknames as "Fat A$$", because the cushioning didn't do much for his figure! So finally his entered a contest and won for his design (which now lacked the cushioning). In the end, he became very rich and we all became very comfortable. If you look carefully on the label of your modrobes, the fleece ones anyways, it says "crotch pleasers". . . and isn't that the truth?
P.S. Yeah. . . but what about your English mark?
