Decisions Decisions

I got a tough decision to make in the comming week. I had an interview with a co-op position on the 22nd and they said they will get back to me next week, however I also just recieved word that on of my Prof's also wants me to work for him, for a pretty good salary I might add.

Unfortunately I need to tell my prof if I'm unable to take the position by Monday at which point ifire might not have made their descision yet. However, I will ask about my status on Monday and if they have declined or if the cost / benefit of going with ifire can't out weigh working for Dr. Wassyng then I will pic Wassyng's position.

Landed an interview

I finally landed another interview, this brings the magical interviews with Eng Co-op up to 2 now. The pending interview is with ifire, don't want to say too much right now as everything is still kind of up in the air.

Glenmount Site Update

In efforts to calm myself down I updated the look / feel for the 5 Glenmount message board.

Looks like most of my sites are getting a facelift now that I'm a guru of CSS stylesheets, which only leaves one site left for me to fix my portfolio site. The primary reason I'm procrastinating with fixing this one is that I didn't initally plan to do it with CSS sheets and thus it will be pretty hard to get all the styles in place. Plus that site was built from the ground up with various php scripts and thus it isn't as robust as a CMS system since I didn't orignally intend on putting one into place.

However if I am to convert it I think the next revision might use SQL, and include a built in editor seeing how I don't like updating as much as I used to.

The main obsticle is the stylesheets however, and the fact that I need to decide what stylesheets I will need in the final product, all else should be simple afterwards.

Also might want to know if I want to use PHP include or should I just use PHP's built in SQL calls to get my articles, the only issue here is that articles will be in plain text html anyways and I might not want to complicate my life by having to use "insert into articles..." commands.

I think though this is probably a summer project along with probably using some new tools like image-ready and dreamweaver to do the next layout format.

I don't want to fail, I don't want to fail, I don't want to fail....

Today much to my dismay while studying for Statistics I decide it might be a good idea to know what mark I'm going into the exam with. Well here it is:

Test 1: 10 out of 25

Test 2: 7 out of 33

Eeek!

That really doesn't look good even though this means I'll be going to be offloading 90% of the mark towards the final I really don't think I got what it takes at this moment to do much better than 40% on the final which definetly won't cut it.

So should I go to thode and examine past finals? Or should I just go on a useless self-study session?

Well can't do much for now thode opens tomorrow at 10:00am if I intend on saving the tatered remains of hope for passing this course, I will have to continue on examining how the solutions where done for the first two tests (and inadvertently how I did so damn poorly on them). Only tomorrow will I be able to get a glimpse of the up comming final. I might as well examing the solutions to the assignment as well but I think since I've been doing everything basically wrong it's time to learn by mimicking the Prof rather than making a foray to understand what's going on.

I love how Profs always put good luck on the exams on their homepages, in this case though I think I will be needing it.

Here we have an anime character in the making Amber Fox. (I couldn't resist putting a giant sweat drop) 

As with all birthdays it's traditional to have the birthday boy with cake all over his face :-), Brian's some character though as he never stops smiling. 

You two win the best picture of the night award congratulations Jay and Sahar! :-) 

Here's Christina and her pouty ways. (She's actually stealing Brian's cake) 

And here we have the Software Engineering crew. Who says software engineers have no life? 

Here's a pic of the birthday boy with his girlfriend Amber. 

Some people are a bit too tired, here's Chris and his constant refusal to take a good picture for me. (I think he was a movie star or something his past life and got alot of paparazzi training)
