Blurred Line

My attention over the past couple of days has been taken up with the fact that I was recently barred from writing one of my exams, due to my attendance record. I'll be the first to admit, it's not great, but it's not horrible. I've had more than one course where I've shown up to about three lectures and still managed to pass and this case is nowhere near as extreme. Guess, the prof just really doesn't like it when people don't show. Anyhow, I'm talking to various people in the faculty at the moment and am going in to talk with the prof early next week. Hopefully, that'll clear things up. If not, though, I'm in a bit of a tough spot, since the course isn't offered again until the January-April semester next year.

In other news: The gauntlet has been thrown down! My Sens are up against Struggling Writer's Pens in the NHL playoffs. If the Sens lose the series, I'll be donning Pittsburgh colours and providing photographic evidence of my cheering for the Pens. Ottawa won the first game pretty decisively, while game #2 ended in a Pittsburgh win (though, if you ask my opinion, Ottawa still outplayed Pittsburgh). The third game of the series goes tomorrow night. The playoff atmosphere in Ottawa is generally upbeat, if a little subdued. In past seasons, the town has been hockey-mad, but calling the team "chokers". I've not seen any of that negativity this year (I think it just might be Ottawa's year, finally) but it's taking people a little while to get into the playoff spirit.

Also, there have been quite a few notices of acceptances to Clarion West. I still haven't heard anything yet, so I'm officially ultra-anxious.
