You Pay for the Chance to Take a Test

Posted on: January 29, 2009 Last updated on: January 29, 2009 Written by: Liesl
A friend of mine was chastised by another in conversation, as he had admitted to skipping class now and again. "You pay for your classes, you know." His wise response: "You pay for the chance to take a test." Do…

Child Prodigies! Study Habits! And, of course, You

Posted on: January 20, 2009 Last updated on: January 20, 2009 Written by: Liesl
I must have meant to go from channel 3 to 5, the scrolling thing, to see if Futurama was on. Instead I accidentally pressed the down arrow, serendipitously finding TVO’s ‘Mysteries of the Mind Week’; various programs, documentaries and interviews…

A Cup of Summation with a Dash of Fortuity

Posted on: December 19, 2008 Last updated on: December 19, 2008 Written by: Liesl
Welp, my last exam is in… 44 minutes. Not looking forward to it. For various, emotional and psychological reasons, I have not been myself this semester. Keyword: Apathy. Subtext: Delusions of grandeur. Playing the DVD backwards: Unadulterated sadness. But one…

A DIY Gift Guide for the Poor and Weird

Posted on: December 17, 2008 Last updated on: December 17, 2008 Written by: Liesl
A random assortment of gift ideas, for you. I broke my body, brain, and so-called 'spirit' this week, so, it's a bit disjointed. I'm going to go cry now. Box of Hugs/Kisses/Positive Mantras Get an empty box... and fill it.…

CSSU Game Night III: English Intruder

Posted on: December 12, 2008 Last updated on: December 12, 2008 Written by: Liesl
I’m a “gamer”. What is with that word? “GaMeRrRrRrRrR”? It’s like a cracked-headed buzz word to me. Pop culture jargon. I wasn’t called a “GaMeR” when I was ten. (Note, I am using Myspace Upper/Lower Case variation to accentuate my…

All Your Commute Are Belong To Bus

Posted on: December 5, 2008 Last updated on: December 5, 2008 Written by: Liesl
Liesl's Bus? I commute, yes? I can’t say it’s an interesting experience, because it’s all I’ve ever known. I know nothing outside of my familiar, demonic TTC bus route and Finch-University-Spadina Subway line. Okay, that was a stretch, but… yeah.…

The First Family Now Looks Like My Family

Posted on: November 17, 2008 Last updated on: November 17, 2008 Written by: Liesl
…and not just in term of skin colour. They’ve got a Mom, two girls and a Dad, like mine. The only difference is that their Dad is going to be the next president, and mine did not live to see…

DROP FEES while I drop in a dazed heap onto the floor

Posted on: November 10, 2008 Last updated on: November 10, 2008 Written by: Liesl
I am still slightly frazzled upon returning (to the library? Not like I was here before) from the rally. I'm not even sure why, as I was not one of the can't-imagine-how-hard-they-must-be-working organizers keeping students in the right spots, handing…

I went to Canzine and all I got was this lousy zest for life

Posted on: November 3, 2008 Last updated on: November 3, 2008 Written by: Liesl
As a wannabe-purveyor of punk aesthetic, choosing to go to U of T downtown was quite beneficial. Toronto has a lot of… for lack a better term, variety. Whatever you are interested in can be found. If not, it can…
