Fix up the Fuck up Day

November 16, 2004

Saturday at 11:30 PM I realized I was screwed. That’s when I looked at the computer science courses offered next semester and realized I wouldn’t be able to graduate — I didn’t have the prerequisites for any of the courses listed.

In darkness I whimpered. “Maybe I should stop dropping courses,” I said. The sound forming in the back of my throat was pathetic and subhuman as I desperately clutched my mouse. I didn’t want to come back to Laurier for another year. I wanted to go out into the world and do great and loving deeds. All of my wonderful plans collapsed in one instant.

And then Monday came. Sunshine. I went into the computer science office and banged my head on tables. Eventually the chair of the department nodded and sent me to seek approval from another prof. And after a lot of begging and please for compassion, I’m enrolled in CP467 (computer vision). I can graduate. Life is good. Tonight I danced naked in my room.

Dear Twodoor,

Why do you not feel free to post those who comment on your site?

Curiousity compells me.

Kindly clarify your question. I have no idea what you’re asking.

I’m sorry, I lied. I’m in computer vision (CP467) not computer graphics (CP411). My mistake — I fixed it above. So no Mike in my course :(.

I’ll be sad when I stop seeing you around campus Tudor…

Good luck with it…if its your thing. I never took it myself but I hear its quite difficult.

—Now updating my work-related journal. We’ll see how long I can keep it up.

I too will mourn the days of Tudor Costache when they are over!

I’m quite nervous about CP467 too — it’s interesting but it will involve some pretty complex math to create an optical character recognition system :(. Luckily I’ll get a little help from my friends as far as the math goes.

And you won’t have to miss me too much — I live in Waterloo, so I’ll be back often!
