What happened to the people who wrote "HIV"?  |

If you put anything else, it was wrong. |

Dictionary.com's word of the day always puts me in a good mood. I love it, they have the most obscure words sometimes. ^^ <3333333333333

Yesterday someone in a rugged off-road Jeep drove out of the Cootes Drive line of cars, over the curb, down into the ditch and into the parking lot (across from ABB). Then, when he realized he couldn't drive out of the parking lot due to the new automatic gates, he again drove up over the curb, over the grass and out onto the road.
This really made my day yesterday!

You could certainly challenge the ambiguity of that question. lol.
"I wasn't sure if you wanted HIV or Human etc. and it certainly wasn't clear from the question. So I was going to write HIV, but then it wouldn't be clear that I knew what it stood for."
And if that wouldn't work, I'd keep badgering them until something did. :p I'm the master of getting myself out of sticky situations like that now...ever since that one time I was a moron on a test (Nevermind the technical details):
"True or False: An orientable surface has det(J) strictly positive, where J is the Jacobian evaluated at (x,y), for all x and y."
I answer:
TRUE: Or strictly negative. (Which is exactly why it should be false!!!)
Of course I get it wrong, and can't appeal my case. :p |

what made my day yesterday was ... I was in programming class (omfg i hate programming -.- ) and the m idterm marks were out, and i over heard the guy behind me saying he got 16% , im like shit I hope i passed...
So towards the end of the lecture our prof was talking about our average on the midterm... which was a 53% ....... he said he added 10% to it to make up for any ambiguitys. So pretty much everyone got 10% free. So the kid behind me was like ... ****, that means i REALLY got only 6% . . .
That made my day. |

I'm sorry my dear Mowicz, but I don't think anyone knows what this means. XD

OOHHHHH WOWWWWWW. I'm sorry if that kid reads this but... Just... wow. I don't understand how that's possible.
The other day in Exercise Physiology class we got our midterm marks back, and someone got 37%... Which is pretty bad, but hey.. it's not 6%...
ANYWAYS point is, it turns out that the prof was so shocked she checked who it was, and sure enough it was a first year Engineering student. So somehow a first year engineering student wrote a second year Kinesiology exam... And managed to get 37... Made my week.
