I once had the whole "hours of operation" with ROSI explained to me in mind-numbing technical detail for a story i was writing. Suffice it to say there is a good reason for it to happen but mostly because UofT hasn't spent any money on decent backbone servers for anyone outside of Engineering and MedSci for a very long time. And there is a good security concern considering that if the system isn't on overnight it makes it much more difficult to skulk around in it unnoticed.

I found UofT to be fine until they tried to use www.turnitin.com and I had to threaten legal action in order to avoid having to use it. 'Course I was in about the smallest program on the campus so that probably made it easier. The key to getting anything done I found was flirting with the secretaries because that was where the real power was. They knew exactly how to get anything done and would help you but only if they liked you.

I should go back and finish up my last year, but unlike what everyone tells you a B.A. is worth about as much as a flatus in most businesses. Its all experience and in my business getting experience only requires writing and recording stories.
