Last Friday was my first TA session. Now, campus was closed on Thursday due to snow, so the students only had one lecture from the prof. I tried my best to get them talking and I think I did a pretty good job.

Nick Gazel
Nick Gazel is in Africa right now. I think Mozambique. He'll be there for a while. If you guys are interested, here's his blog. He says it will be photo heavy and text light.
My update
Hey you all so I now I haven’t really posted in a while and I apologize. Well I guess I’ll just start from where I last left off. I had left to go work in Bolivia at the beginning of September. I was going to work for an alumn who owns a bookstore there. The job wasn’t the greatest. I essentially managed the bookstore (priced books, sold books, sold camping/hiking gear, inventory, and few marketing and product development projects). I didn’t like the job mainly because I felt like I wasn’t being paid enough to live and they also backed out on paying for my initial visa. The store had a really nice selection of books in English though, and my roommate while there who has traveled throughout South America, says the store might have the best selection of books in the continent. Needless to say I did my fare share of reading while I was there and considered making a book club on the blog. Books I read included: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, some classic Stephen King, The Exorcist, The Bourne Identity, and a few others I can’t remember and aren’t really noteworthy. This part of my job was actually pretty cool especially reading books that I really never got a chance to read before and probably would never bother reading.
Just Some Fun Vids.
My goal this term is to blog more. But I'm finding it time to sit down and spend quality time on a decent post, so I thought I'd still contribute by providing (I guess) more shallow content. So here are some internet videos that I have happened upon recently that I thought you, the reader, might enjoy.
Got 50 seconds? Remember that blizzard on the east coast this past September? Just a nifty little vid:
Some of you may know I'm an environmentalist. I also dabble in politics. So this just pisses me off. It's long, but John Stewart makes things humorous and interesting:
When I was sick a few weeks ago, I turned on Heydinger's Netflix and I saw that The Cove was a recommended flick in the documentary section. It was only like 1.5 hours, so I watched it. Pretty crazy stuff. But they had this clip in the film, which I still find really amazing:
This is creepy, but hilarious:
Lastly, I've had some fun recently checking out OK GO's music videos. They are the famous treadmill video guys. But they've also made some other cool videos. Here is one that I like - there's not much to it, but its entertaining to watch:
Have a great Sunday, everybody.
MOLSON OUT.
