Simple Connect!

Remember that video shoot for our Simple Connect DVD, the one that teaches older people how to use the computer? Well, our grade for it turned out to be a 95%, and I got an overall grade of A+ in the course! Isn't that crazy? I was told that an A+ was next to impossible in University. Wow, but I can't say that I learned all that much in that course. I guess all the torture of boredom and confusion paid off in the end.
But, to balance things out I did get a C+ in that Retailing Management course. You know, the one that I failed the midterm. The rest of my grades were B+'s, and an A in my thesis course (almost everyone in that class got an A).
I leave you with the rough version of our our Simple Connect DVD insert, featuring me as the old man host (George Summers). Yes, my clothes are inside out, my group thought that it made me look older=)

Focus on Food

Today I went to school at Ryerson, and mediated my first ever focus group! There were 7 people in the group, and I had to find out why they did not play console videogames. Reason came in as “that’s only for guys” “that’s only for kids” “I have no time to play” and “There are too many buttons, and it’s too complex”. Very fun exercise. While I did this, my group members sat behind everyone and made notes on what was discussed. Some good practical experience found doing this. On Wednesday I have my midterm for that class.

After that, I met Daren for dinner. He first took me to a Mexican restaurant, but that ended up being closed. We then walked to a sushi place, where we ordered way too much food, but managed to fit it all in our stomachs. Daren, what was the place called? Yes, even I was at the point where I was full. That is, until we passed an ice cream place on the way to the subway! Yum!

It was raining, but rain is so nice when you’re in the city, and have an umbrella. The more of Toronto that I explore, the more I like it.
Thanks again Daren for meeting up with me.
