Everything seems to be coming together for the upcoming fall semester. I had to email the Faculty of Science to get registered for the second half of my work term, no troubles there. I also asked for special permission to take more than one class during my work term. I’ll be taking two night classes, CS375 – Database Management Systems on Tuesday nights, and Econ238 – Sport Economics on Wednesday nights. I have a feeling I will enjoy both of these classes. Sport Economics should be a lot of fun since I really enjoy sports and I’m always analyzing the economic angles. The CS class could be interesting as well. Even though I have never really done much database work before I find that it is something I’m interested in. Since I’m interested in my subjects I shouldn’t have any problems motivating myself to learning them.<\/p>\n
I thought I’d take a gamble yesterday, instead of paying $130 for the CS textbook from the bookstore, I ordered an “international” version from India for $15. I know already that it is going to be in black and white and printed on non-glossy paper, but it should still provide me with the exact same information that everyone else will get. This isn’t going to be the first time I’ve used an international version of a textbook; I used the international version of CS350’s textbook. I’ll have to wait for my textbook though, it’s going to be 7-14 days shipping from India, plus the time it takes to clear customs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
