Today's topic? Communications 130 at SFU. This class is called something like Mass Communications in Canada or something like that. I took it....what, three years ago? Two years ago maybe. I wrote a paper for that course. I don't really remember what it was about, something about the CRTC if I remember correctly. Anyways, the prof marked it, and I got it back and...what was the mark? I don't remember. A B I think. Anyways, what really upset me was the comment he made on my page. It read: "This is supposed to be [blah blah, I don't remember what it said], not a tribute to the Fraser Institute", or something along those lines. Guys, this is one of the biggest insults that I have ever suffered in my life. I was stunned. Literally, I just stopped and stared at it. And then, as rage overtook me, I ripped the damn thing in half and stuffed it in the garbage can. I swore to myself that I would never take another communications course in my life, and that, in fact, I would never communicate again in my life. Well, okay, that's a lie. I swore never to take another communications class, but I never swore never to communicate.

For those of you who don't know, by the way, the Fraser Institute is a right wing think tank that does studies on various issues. Its newest member is Mr. Preston Manning! Right wing, n'est pas? And you all know me don't you? Well, if you don't, I'm sort of more left wingish than right wing. I always vote NDP even though I don't always like what they're doing. I guess I'm like......what do you call it? A social democrat? No....I don't know. I get confused. Damn. But whatever. My thinking is far closer to the Institute on Policy Alternatives, or whatever they call the left-wing think tank. Anyways, so this accusation has made me quite hostile towards Communications at SFU in general.

It's kind of funny. I'm also quite hostile towards English at SFU, because of the one class of it I ever took, English 101. The professor was....what's the word? A dickhead.
