Sexual Harassment

Yesterday I called U. of Ottawa's sexual harassment hotline.

And an answering machine picked up to ask if I wanted to leave a message. Well... NO, I don't wanna leave a fucking message for it to be recorded and be the center of amusement for those retards.

Seriously... If a hotline like that is set up, it is because they want to help people. Already the victims feel harmed, and now they call for help and get an answering machine? How low are they gonna feel now?

Anyways.. back to me.. yeah my door's lock ran out of battery and hence I couldn't get in with the card I usually swipe with. AND THEN A HUGE FAT SWEATY PEDOPHILE WITH PIMPLES CAME FROM BEHIND AND RAPED ME!

But no, not really. I had groceries and I was really pissed at the stupid door failing on me. So I had to call housing services or something. I looked at on the card, and there were a few numbers to dial: Foot patrol, peer support, protection services, UOttawa main line, and sexual harassment. I knew I had to call protection services because that's the one everybody calls for housing problems and stuff. So I tried calling, and the number doesn't even EXIST. Nice... and I called the other numbers one by one and they all failed. Until... Sexual Harassment... STILL nobody answered, but at least they gave me the right number to call Protection Services.

True Story.

Math, tennis and swing

A little promotion to start off the post!

Last weekend, Xiao, a friend from Montreal at UW, informed me, quite out of the blue, about a Canadian wide mathematics conference happenning here in Ottawa. Indeed, what a coincidence! It was happenning at University of Carleton from the 8th of July until the 11th. Having responsibilities to keep at Industry Canada (keeping my seat warm), I couldn't go Wednesday and Thursday. So I went on Friday night and Saturday.

The CUMC is a annual event for undergraduate math students, mostly with the goal to broaden up their views about different fields of math. It also offers chances to network with people with similar interests (there was a boat banquet on Friday night, so it gives time to mingle. Not just lectures).

Long and behold, next year's CUMC 2010 will be held at no other than University of Waterloo! So for you who will be close-by, like I was for Carleton, should definitely come. Or maybe even give a short talk!

Here's the website for CUMC 2009: http://cumc.math.ca/2009/home.html

After years of idleness, I played tennis once again yesterday. I remember playing on the court next to my house, when I was.. maybe 12 or so. I was taught by a school friend who played competitively, and got to the point where I could challenge older people on the courts and sometimes beat them. Those were the productive years I guess. Then I stopped playing regularly.

Yesterday, Jeevan pulled me out of my sedentary lifestyle, borrowed me his newly bought racquet (the guy's fucking rich), and whipped his fatass shots at me. It felt great to play again, and to feel sore everywhere the day after (today). I just have to pick up my serves, and I'll be a competitive opponent in no time.

At last, today I decided to go swingdance at some "Saturday Night" swing dance club. Alone. Yeah. I just realized so much time is wasting in front of the computer. People saying they've got no time is mostly just an illusion. Anyways, I went to their introductory class at 8 to refresh my memory after more than a year, and danced away until 11 or so. Although I was part of some swing dance club back in Montreal, I never really picked up the "social" part of swing, which is randomly asking someone to dance, and improvise from there. I only learned the choreographies. But today, I forced myself and now I can manage some simple stuff out of thin air. I'll be going back.

A little show before the intro class. These two were amazing. She's pretty damn hot too.

Peace.

What

Fall09

I've heard about your horror stories on Fall09 schedules, 7-8 hours of class on MWF and... TTh free...

That's really fucked up.

Here's mine. Not so fucked up.

Notes:

Tutorials don't really need to be included in... one doesn't go to them at least half the time.

AFM101 should be/may be BUS227 or something. Either MW or TTh. Right now, I'm enrolled in the A2 section. But it conflicts with Math249/239...

Math249 will probably be Math239. 6 classes, of which 2 advanced, and a CS241? I don't think so... I'm not godlike enough.

I'll keep this post less verbose. It's been a while since I first started posting, and my entries are getting longer.
