The union newsletter has been proof read by Mathieu. I now need to dot a few i's and cross a few t's and then send it to another union activist for printing.

I attended my LAWS3205 lecture yesterday. We covered the end of the section on consumer credit. We looked at bankrupcy. Then we covered the legislative respones to consumer issues. I got some notes for last week's lecture from Tom who also took LAWS4305 this term.

I am up early this morning doing some bibliographic files on this laptop.

I got the newsletter done. I sent it to two other union members for proofreading.

I started to read chapter 18 in my consumer law textbook. I completed reading chapter 17 Saturday night.

I surfed an ebay sellers store for educational software.

I need to do some more preparing for a calculus tutorial I have to give today. Today is the last tutorial for this course. I hope I am a teaching assistant in this course next term, too. I have done some preparation work using Maple 7. I thought of posting my answers to the web as MATHML files and letting the students know where the URL is.

I have one more question to mark from last week's MATH0107 test.

I am working on editing a union newsletter tonight. I hope to get this printed by next weekend which is the union's ten anniversary at a folk cafe.
I posted my open office slides to webpagex.org but forgot that using a period in the version number would trancate the file and it would expect a file format indicator. So I must rename the file and re-ftp it.

I read a little more of Lisa J. Servon, Bridging the Digital Divide, Technology, Community and Public Policy (Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing, 2002).

I finished chapter 4 in What's Wrong with Addiction? and started chapter 5.

I have most of the second MATH0107 test marked now.
I worked on MATH0007 tutorial preparation this morning.

The LAWS4305 course is complete and over now. There is one last email submission of a journal entry. We had some drinks with the professor Tanya Rugge after class but I, of course, had coffee. The last presentation was on alternatives to incarceration.
I completed marking the MATH0007 tests on Wednesday and got them to the math office.
I completed my Pamphlet for LAWS4305. The original final copies had a typo. I got one copy printed on regular paper. I also completed writing my executive summary and printed a copy on good paper. I also completed my journal entry for the week. It is was mostly descriptive of my study process. I have class in three hours.

I read Jason's handout on gun control legislation and firearm statistics from a LAWS4305 seminar presentation a few weeks ago.

I borrowed the book by Lisa J. Servon, Bridging the Digital Divide, Technology, Community and Public Policy (Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing, 2002) and did a preliminary read of it.

I completed marking last weeks' tutorial and recording the marks.

I need to finish up my executive summary tonight/this morning or Thursday morning. This morning would be nice.

The minimum wage is being raised by the Ontario government.
I have a CUPE general membership meeting today at 18:00.
I am almost finished marking last week's tutorial for MATH0107. It looks like I will not be marking the final in this course.

I gave the calculus test yesterday and have to mark 5 tests by Friday.

I completed reading chapter 3 in What's Wrong with Addiction this morning and started chapter 4 which is about smoking and how smoking is not really an addiction but is too an addiction.

I read some more of a book on SAS that is new in the library.

I have written two pages now for my executive summary for LAWS4305

I have not read any of ruling the root this week.

I got my pamphlet printed for LAWS4305. I also printed the journal for weeks 7-10. I just have to do the short paper and I am done for that course.

I gave a calculus test today but only have to mark five of the tests. I am still marking a linear algebra assigment due back Wednesday.

I am working on a short paper on the reform of laws concerning hackers. This is for LAWS4305.

My dad is working on a paper for the journal Nature. He also is writing for Nature, an obituary for the scientist and nobel prize winner Bert Brockhouse.

I might study some first year computer science next term. That would be COMP1005. I might also study LAWS4307 medical issues in criminal law.

I read some sociology with my dad who doesn't like sociology and thinks sociologists write nonsense.
