The Mike Haddad Show: This is relevant to my interests.

As I mentioned earlier, I was ill. I went to Health Services last week to find out that I had some sort of extreme viral illness. I wound up with flu like symptoms. They started two weeks ago and go really bad because I was outside in the sun dehydrating myself. So I was handed a doctor's note saying I couldn't work, and went back to Oakville to be taken care of by my family. Unfortunately for me, Friday night was my sister's Super Sweet Sixteen birthday party, so not much taking care of happened. I did get some cool pictures and experienced what a huge birthday party would have actually been like.

I'd like to expand and half retract what I said here about Bombardier's streetcar. What I was aware of, but had managed to ignore/forget at the time of posting this was that the car's displayed were of the Flexity Swift model, which I think is hideous. To meet the 100% low-floor requirement, Bombardier has switched to the Flexity Outlook. Both the Eurotram and Cityrunner (presumably the model variant we would get) are really nice. They even have a website, The Streetcar Redefined promoting it. I owe everyone an apology for tying the image of the CLRVs and UTDC's history to Bombardier. The trams they have for European use seem to be really nice.

Finally, I'm not an Economics Specialist anymore. I'm in the Computer Science and Economics Joint Specialist program. Which is good and bad. I'm not a BSc candidate, not a BA candidate. I get more options for work after. Unfortunately, I have to take programming classes. Luckily not TOO many. The other downside is I might have to take another first year calculus. One that I need as a prereq for second year calculus that I was going to take this year. So I'm not sure what to do. My start time for course selection is next Monday. I think I'm going to enroll in both and hope I can just take the second year one. It's good to be back though.
