a note about the uoft calendar and a meditation on the temporality of human existence

something alarming happened to me earlier today. i was reading back on this website (aska is incredibly self-absorbed and likes to read her own writing), when i realized that a bunch of the links i’d linked to weren’t working! “zut alors!!” i gasped in horror. “what are the chances that i never realized that half the stuff i linked to was broken?” i asked myself, incredulous. “surely i can’t be that absent-minded when i’m at work,” i said, brandishing my arms in distress and knocking over a bookshelf in the process.

well i did some investigating, and, as usual, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation which proves that this was in no way, shape or form, aska’s fault, and that aska continues to be a perfect, benevolent and infinitely gracious being.

all the links to the 2013-2014 calendar for the Faculty of Arts & Science UTSG, which includes links about courses and various subject POSts, will now be broken, because that calendar has been taken down and archived here?for perusing purposes, in case any of you crazy cats are looking for something wild to do on a friday night.

the 2014-2015 calendar will be published on March 21st, and all questions related to programs will defer to that calendar after that date. for all you nervous grade 12s, that means that your calendar, with all the courses you’ll be taking next year, will be up in under a week.

i have to say i was pretty distressed to find all those links suddenly broken, but i guess that’s life, isn’t it? nothing can last forever. sometimes, the very people who create something are the ones who end up taking it down, you know? they fly too high and they get shot down, like icarus. but that’s you too, my friend; you too are icarus, flying up ever closer to the light of knowledge, until one day, you’ll inevitably have a nervous breakdown, marathon 2 seasons of Breaking Bad, eat so much ice-cream you make yourself physically ill, and fall into a self-pitying stupor for two days.

anyway…calendar stuff. yeah. take note.

cheers,

aska
