Still playing phone tag. Still not enrolled in school yet. I basically have to beg to get into day school as legally the school isn't obliged to take me on as I'm now 20-years-old. My highschool isn't answering phones or returning messages and school starts next Tuesday.
Luckily an old neighbour and good family friend is a guidance couselor. I left a message for her and will likely get a call back soon. I have a lot of questions about the new cirriculum Ontario is sporting as they're phasing out OAC (grade 13) and how it'll effect me. I have some credits but I'm not done OSSD (grade 12) or OAC (grade 13) completely. Which puts me in a fine spot. It's actually likely if they can't accomodate me that I have to go back to grade 11 (AHHHHHHHH!!!) and finish the new cirriculum. Now given the time-frame of university applications and school semestering it doesn't mean I'll be spending more time going to highschool but it does mean I'll be doing more work. Albeit it exceptionally easy work.
My Mom's boss, who's an epidemiologist specializing in qualitative analysis and just generally brilliant had some very encouraging words to say to me. Something to the degree of "[Brodie's] too smart for the public school system. He just needs to get past this so he can really fly". Very flattering to say the least, and his opinion is pretty qualified. I've done lots of work for him professonally and personally in the past.
Like the LAN /w proxy server I installed two years ago and still works. Zero administration baby. Actually it's 'cause once you figure out ways around win9x's idiosyncracies and usability/interface weirdness with TCP/IP it's pretty easy to get stuff to work right. Also a little training goes a long way.
Anyhow, the time is now to get stuff done. Really bored of just putzing around Hamilton for the last two years. I really have bigger aspirations and the opportunity to make those achievments is now.
I'm itching to get my first assignment.
