It looks like the professors at University will likely go on strike at some point in the next few weeks. My initial reaction to the news was a great big UGH. However, since looking into the matter, it appears my schedule will barely be disrupted. Since part-time profs aren’t under union legislation they are obligated to keep teaching. My physics, math and French profs are all part-time so the strike will not have any effect for these classes. My physics lab and my chemistry class, however, will be cancelled. From what I understand, it won’t be necessary to keep up with class requirements while classes are cancelled – which means overall subject matter will be cut and less information will be taught/tested. This really isn’t a bad thing as neither of the classes is really necessary for my subsequent years in the program.
Plus, I might even be able to pick up an extra shift at the restaurant, as I won’t have any classes on Wednesdays. All in all, it might even be a good thing!
In other news, I kicked ass on my physics exam with an awesome B+!! WAHOO!

Ugh, university strikes are a PITA. I went through one at UManitoba many many moons ago. It was three weeks long, and screwed up most of that school year. Although, we did have a lot of 'term end tests' instead of full out exams, worked in our favor for sure. Regardless, I hope your strike won't last as long, or be as disruptive!
And way to go on the physics exam, btw!!
