Now back to studying MTHEL 100 (Commercial and Business Law for Math Students). Now would you believe the prof gave us all the questions to our final exam? I didn't till I heard him read from our final exam. There's 70 true and false questions, each worth one percent of our final grade. I'm on question 45 right now and I know that it'll be something about the concurrent powers of the provincial and federal governments.

I can go to jail for this but here goes. Here are the lyrics to REM's World Leader Pretend with my favorite verse highlighted (click to listen):

I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well

This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down

So I picked the car up and the bill was 10x what I was led to believe it was going to be. bleh

If you look closely you'll see Google has added a Fresh-o-Meter to their results. I'm surprised it's taken them this long but glad they've done it! Now if only my food told me how fresh it was..

Car call number 2. Turns out the backup light switch at the transmission is broken and we need a new one of those too.. Ouch!
[12:10:41 PM] []

I took the Neon in to get serviced this morning and received the inevitable call that blah blah blah needs replacing and your rear left lamp assembly is cracked and filled with water and needs replacing and your rear backup lights are broken too which hopefully will work once we drain the water.. And by the way it's going to cost 4x as much as you thought it was going to be.

Now how do I know I'm not getting scammed??

Oh and Aimee he said that the right front strut is leaking and that I should take it in to a dealer to get it serviced..
