Personal Tiredness

From a /. article pointing here, I took the tiredness quiz to figure out at what point in the day I am most tired. Now, the fact that this is actually selling some scary product worries me, but the quiz did determine that I am most tired at 15:45, which is completely true, and when I start to feel quite sluggish and useless in the afternoon.

Teacher Education Program

Should I ever want to go into (secondary) Education, a computer science major is not enough. It will only count as a teachable subject major if used in conjunction with another concentration (like math, for example). However, if I had a major in math that would be sufficient on it’s own to enter into the education program. This is lame. I’m sure it’ll change at some point because computer science will become more common at the secondary level, and then they will no doubt be short of qualified teachers.

Anyway, I don’t actually have any specific plans to go into education. Just a thought. So don’t worry.

At Radio Shack

I went into Radio Shack today to ask about the price of a new battery for my Compaq laptop (although, I suspect that it may not actually be the battery). The person I spoke with said he recognised me; asked if I went to UBC; asked if I was in the faculty of arts. I don’t want to lead you to believe that I was offended. I was just surprised. Don’t I look science-esque? Picture me with my black wool coat, my nice scarf, my hair all over the place. Is that what “artsy” looks like?
