It's November! Which either means Movember, NaNoWriMo or for the rest of us, essays. Before I start on a rant about that, happy Fall Break everyone! That's right, no classes today or tomorrow. It's a new change the University of…
Zumba: A party in a work-out
Readers, where would you expect to be if you were: a. Shaking your hips uncontrollably, attempting to mimic a spicy Latin salsa sequence? b. Flailing your arms pathetically, trying to keep up to energizing hip-hop beats? c. Feeling beads of…
You can call me Ferdinand
Actually, you might want to call me Chris, as in Christopher Columbus. My original idea for this post was an experiment to prove that you can navigate the St. George campus by bathroom graffiti alone. I had in the past…

Well, not a real rocket, “the” rocket. The TTC. I caved. There were just too many rainy days in October. My bike is now hibernating for winter. It will wake up in the spring when my eyeballs don’t freeze while…
Oh Miserable Midterms, Why Won’t You Just Let Me Be Great?!?
I knew they were coming, but the ferocity with which midterms have arrived has jolted me as badly as if someone had risen me from slumber with an ice-cold bucket of water. Le sigh. Entering second year, I was still…
