		<description><![CDATA[Last year the local market had them installed, the Bank had them since I could remember, and I even have one: closed circuit video are everywhere, and more are to come. The local market, also know at the IGA, had them installed just last year after experiencing a record breaking year of theft. It was so bad there that the owner was almost looking at taking drastic measures to curve the financial loss it was incurring on his business. Once the video system was installed, they were able to use the images to show police who was steeling when they fled the store. For me, I had my vehicle broken into three years ago and I had to do something about it. My landlord was unable to offer any solutions, and they certainly did not want to install my camera, but after checking with law enforcement and legal experts, I was able to go ahead with the installation without my landlord's approval. The camera has stayed ever since, even with many threats of legal sanctions, and a visit boys from the Township By-law office by them, my trusty little camera keeps a vigil eye on my vehicle. Oddly enough my vehicle has not being touched ever since?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last five weeks, I must admit, I was paranoid about having to go through another winter like the one we had last year in the Fraser Valley. For the first couple of week in December it looked as if we were going to endure another super cold one, but as luck would have it, we are getting California like weather in the middle of winter for 2010. Is this Incredible Weather or What?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[n my little crypt called the office/bedroom, I sit. I have tired on several occasions to write a post, but every time up until now I had being either tired, busy or distracted. The main reasons are the bits of homework and alternating mid-terms from each of my courses that are always pulling at my available time. It seems that for each week I have at least one mid-term to study for and write. This doesn't include the continuous weekly assignment from my Stats class, nor the constant rushing of French assignment that are done on-line through the course website. From Sunday to Wednesday I work in over-drive, trying to keep up, on top and ahead of the courses. Though though?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although this is the last day of January, 2010, and this is the last day of the week, I feel I did not accomplished everything I wanted. Sure, I fell behind on my readings and there are a few tasks at work that I have yet to do, but I get this weird feeling that I missed a whole section of my life. Perhaps this is what it feels like when you go without a good nights sleep for so long, or you try to make every second of every day count and be as productive as possible that you forget to smell the roses?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love it when all of a sudden everyone around me starts realizing that the deadlines are right around the corner, and they have fallen behind, that they start to pass the buck onto me--do you find that for yourself too? A really good example is when you are part of a team and your project is due, and you have some team members who are "a bit slow," and when the day finally arrives to submit, they freak out and start blaming everyone else except themselves as they show up unprepared. I have fallen victim to two such scenarios already this month, and my reaction has not being pretty.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is 8:23am on a sunny Saturday morning here on campus in Surrey, (BC – not go get mixed up with my British friends who live in the original city of Surrey) and the birds are up, and probably there is a Bee buzzing around somewhere too as you would think it is April or May around here. I am here because I have no choice. If I want to pass my exam coming up this Wednesday in my Statistics class, I have to be here. It boils down to software and textbooks, or the lack there of.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I totally agree with the British Columbia Court of Appeal on their decision to keep the jurisdiction of Instie with British Columbia's authority, and thus allowing the facility to stay open without Federal interference. The Federal government should stop wasting our tax money on fighting this. Remember that the majority of Canadians did not vote for Harper!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my own little stunned world I walk aimlessly around bumping into things as I think about all the stuff I need to memorize for next week's quiz/exam/test. One person asked me what time it was, and I answered with what I read from a broken watch I was wearing. Now I would not even believe myself if I looked at it and was late for a class. Among other things besides the broken watch, I have a schedule that does not allow for any error or delay. My work and classes are so tightly pack together that one train, traffic jam, vehicle breakdown would throw the timetable into chaos. The distance I travel from one town to the other to meet the deadlines is ridiculous in my opinion, but so many others do it to, so I cannot be that stupid.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember in my grade eight English class how my teacher, Mr. Phillips, said that English is the hardest language in the world to learn and master. After years of post secondary education, studying Philosophy, Human Development, Language Arts, Child Psychology and Biology, for an anglophone to learn another language is far tougher than the struggling two year old is with English, or the language spoken in the house. I really believe that people like Dr. Steven Pinker got it right when he said that our brains are wired for language, but biology has put it so that we do this very early in our development between the ages two and three becuase communication is so important to us both as individuals and as a society.]]></description>
