Movie

Went through a bunch of crap today with the registrar. Apparently I never actually took chemistry seminar last semester... I guess I was hoodwinked! Who knew that you could be on the class list, attend all the classes and turn in the assignments without taking the class.

I went home and watched a movie. Its called Traitor. It stars Don Cheadle as a traitor. It was definitely one of the better movies I have seen lately. There was a bit of action, but that wasn't the main point. Cheadle played his character very well, everything came off very realistically. Combine this with the subject matter and you get a movie that is very thought provoking. I give it three point five out of four bow wows.

Also there was a scene with a TTC streetcar in it and I was all like "Toronto!" next line: "Welcome to Toronto Samir"

Lights

Right now I am supervising a computer lab. The lab has large windows with an abundance of natural light. Two students and myself were happily working in this environment until a third showed up and with out a second of hesitation flipped on the florescent lights. I get the feeling that if a student were to walk into a room and do the opposite (turn off the lights) there would be some kind of backlash for this behavior. Why the double standard?
