Did my taxes tonight!

...Actually I'm just posting for the sake of making a post before Saturday ends, which never happens. XD Tax returns make me hungry, like writing a final; however, for all that they're the most challenging maths I have to do all year (mostly because I'm so insanely anal-retentive I fill out a three-page form for 8.67$ worth of foreign tax credit and use algebra to make it tally up to zero at the end), they're a lot easier than CS finals. I'm developing the suspicion that my life will never force me again to make the intellectual effort I made for my B.Sc. I mean, if I go back to school it won't be in CS, it'd be in something that requires essay-writing, and there's no comparison at all. There just isn't. Heck, programming as an actual job isn't as difficult as CS undergrad. Do doctors feel this way? Actually practicing medicine is easier than being in med school? It might be true of a number of professions, come to think of it.

Hey, did you ever manage to get that munny out of the guv'ment?

Nope. I am disqualified for reasons unknown, McGill requested a review, so now we're waiting on the gov't. I asked the girl what the situation was last year, and she said they approved "a couple" out of twenty or so cases from McGill - after eight months. *shrugs*
