November - Movember

One really cool thing about my classmates, is they don't tend to do things halfway. This is proven by the various gents roaming the halls with fury things growing on their faces even during recruiting season! There are a handful of hard cores who have fully committed and grown the mustache for Movember. A tradition to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer.
That is definitely something I give my classmates props for. The ladies are kicking in too, and hosting an event on Monday to raise some money for the final draw and do a little slide show of the facial hair, but it is great to see.
School gets busy, recruiting gets crazy, everyone is looking for an edge, and then you have these die-hards who set a goal for themselves at the beginning of the month, to not shave off the 'stache and have stuck to it. Some of our profs have only known these guys with them, and will be shocked to see shining clean faces on Tuesday.
Anyhow - hats off to the Movember crowd and may the tradition continue!
Next on my conversation list is the rescheduling of the core classes. With Rotman experiencing some construction on the new building (to be put up next door) there is expected to be the odd interruption. There was plenty of warning, though apparently next week the type of work is so bad that the expectation is that we won't be able to do much in the building so have had everything completely re-scheduled. Thinking this will make for an interesting study period and exam period, and a bit of a chaotic last week of classes.
All I can say is - three weeks till winter break! Counting down the days, keeping up with the work and trying to post on this blog semi-regularly (which has been somewhat lacking for which I apologize).
