Wednesday February 15th: TOK Essay: Done! Completed! Finished! No more drafts! Yay! (Not that much work needed to be done on it, but it just feels good to have finished something else towards my IB diploma :P) Next up: Geography field study! (Geography > History). The data we got from our study was… weird… but the upside to that is we’ll have lots to write for the Sources of Error and Evaluation of Technique. Well I guess that’s what we get when we rely on everyone in the class gathering data, and consequently have to ‘assume’ the data is ‘correct.’ Continue Reading
Unusual sights
Some unusual sights today Snow in February? Only where Black Christmas was being filmed. A southbound 17 Oak bus turning west onto 57th Avenue. Where is this driver going?

How often do you see a bird inside a Costco warehouse? (You’ll probably need to zoom in to actually see the bird)

If I learned one thing useful from the IB mock exams…
…it would be to read the data/information booklet. The math mock exam was interesting. Six questions in one hour.

I looked at the booklet after the exam ended, which was very stupid of me. Anyway, all mock exams completed! Yay! Now back to weeks of classes! Yay!
