Abuse, n.
The goal of debate. Abuse of power is the exercise of authority in a manner unpleasant to ourselves.
- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
My soul knows my meat is doing bad things, and is embarrassed. But my meat just keeps right on doing bad, dumb things.

Happy Surprise
Went in to talk to my academic advisor today and found out a few things that made me happy.
First, the 20 or so credits I'd transferred from my previous degree and which had mysteriously disappeared off my transcript have happily re-appeared on the list, saving me an entire semester and a half of electives.
Second, I only need to take four more 300+ level philosophy classes for my honours degree requirements, one of which must be in the history category (PHIL classes in my college are divided into A - History, B - Problems and C - Value), and three other electives, including one non-humanities course at the 200+ level. Easily done in one more year, I'll be graduating next spring and on to whatever graduate work I fall into.
Lastly, as a two-parter, the smoking crater in my transcript is a 2% (That's not a typo, I got a two percent final mark. Divorce is hell on your academic career sometimes.) in my honours seminar (PHIL 420) can be fixed with a do-over involving the department designating the 320 as a 420 for my benefit. (apologies, that sentence was probably not the clearest it could have been) The really ego-boosting part of the thing was that even with the crater in my transcripts, I still have a WPA that puts me over the requirement for my honours designation, so the do-over will launch me into scholarship territory once grad or law school comes around.
