    aska-groupie?

    I would like to be a part of Aska – is there any way I can help? I am
    going into third year so I know bits about everything UofT related
    (all most).
    Thanks
    Jamila

    Yo, Jamila! I like you already. If you are interested in contributing to the askastudent universe, you have to be a student at Innis College and eligible for work study (meaning, able to get OSAP). For more information, email me at askastudent.innis@utoronto.ca.

    If you want to give me back rubs and compliment my hair, that however, is available anytime.

    xoxo, Askastudent

    everybody loves aska

    Hi AskA,
    First of all, I have to tell you I’m a big fan of yours. Now I have a question. I screwed
    up my UTOR email inbox somehow. All my sent messages are somehow filed into one of my
    folders instead of the Trash folder like it was originally. How do I fix that??

    ————————————-

    Hello, hello. You have a question? *aska flips through the notes on his clipboard, making a checkmark here and there* Well, make it quick. I?m a very busy person and I haven?t got all day. *aska grabs a Timbit from the box on her right, swallows it, licks her fingers, then takes a last sip of coffee from her cup and crushes the empty cup with her bare hands*

    Wait, did you just say you?re my biggest fan? *aska?s eyes widen with glee behind her horned-rimmed glasses* Well, that changes everything. Talk to me, dear, you have my fullest attention. *aska grins, exposing two rows of gleaming white teeth*

    So, you messed up your email. Well, why don?t you just sit back and relax while I help you solve you problem? Here, I?ll even give you my autograph. Feel free to stare at it, I know it?s shiny.

    Anyway, I think what you have to do is go to the webmail page. After you log in, click on options on the top bar, and, under ?general options?, click ?Personal Information?. Are you following? Yes? Good.

    Now scroll down to the bottom, where you should see a check box that reads ?save sent mail?? Make sure that this is checked, and then make sure that the ?Sent mail folder? is set to, well, ?sent-mail? and not one of your other folders.

    I hope this helps.

    In fact I?m sure it helps just to get a reply from me, considering you?re my biggest fan. I can see it now: you?re sitting in you room, in the midst of the thousands of aska posters you?ve nailed to the walls and the numerous aska responses you?ve printed out and read over a million times lying on the floor. You stand up and tiptoe over to your computer, taking perfect care not to step on any of the papers on the floor. You open up your browser, and ? your home page is already set us the askastudent website ? you see this post. Suddenly, your mundane and tedious day feels meaningful.

    Ah, it makes me so happy to bring joy to others? lives.

    askastudent….about love? (2nd annual Flavor Flav edition)

    it’s that time of the year again dear readers. since VD – day is vastly approaching, feel free to send in your queries, questions, deepest desires and magnificent ponderings about that other l-word, Love, and i’ll try to answer them as best i can…while throwing in a couple of jokes to boot.
    it’s time to ask a student….about love?*
    our first question (not really love related) comes from an anonymous reader who asks:
    For some reason, it never occurred to me to even wonder what gender you are (assuming aska is one person which I’m pretty sure is the case), but today after I read your response “girls (i think) like guys who are considerate” to one of the questions, I suddenly realized that you do have a gender and it may be male. Am I correct?
    Sorry for the many non-school related questions I have been sending lately, but I have no school concerns right now, and the way you’re making yourself out to be some mysterious genderless being is really working, and I’m very intrigued by you.

    askastudent is actually an amphibian/fish hybrid with a man’s face

    i love you! for real! I went through all of the archives! You
    are so funny! ..and give the best advice! And seem caring!….
    don’t confuse love-for-real with love for a faceless computer that appears to talk back to you. for all you know, this could be a computer-generated response page on the blitz. i can see the headlines…
    “innis college creates first a.i. by spilling coffee on the keyboard
    compsci amazed, engineers jealous, as the film college attepmts to patent findings…”
    wow, that would be so cool. i wish i was the first artificial intelligence.
