The Joys Of School
Wow, I've been so caught up in the excitement of school that I've neglected my blog. And what excitement! Like my drier than toast Distributed Systems class, or my hand-holding Japanese class. I'm also taking a Science, Technology and Values class, that belongs to no particular faculty. I've had two 3-hour lectures and I still don't know what that course is about.
When I got back to campus, my Co-op coordinator was really excited about the idea of Co-op using Notification Services. So she set up a meeting with me and one of the directors. We had the meeting, after which the director informed me that he, in fact, wasn't in charge of the tech aspects of co-op, but passed my email address along to another director, who he assured me, would know more about these issues.
I finally got an email from this second director, who informed me that Co-op already had a system in place, but he was willing to hear me out (I guess he didn't want to hurt my feelings, even though it wasn't my idea). I described to him what NS does, and how it would be useful. I got an email back saying thanks but no thanks.
And how exactly did I get into this situation? Oh yeah, by going to that mandatory Return-to-Campus Interview.
