thatonekid Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Not being into hockey at all I have no idea why there are waffle jokes. Could someone please tell me?Once upon a time, in early December, the Leafs were playing (the Flyers I think) at the ACC and a fan was tired of all the losing so he threw a few Eggos onto the ice at the end of the game. It was really random, which made it funny. So the internet world turned it into a running joke for the Leafs. The green men then made fun of it in Vancouver, because that's what the green men do. Then this past Monday, again at the ACC, another guy threw some Eggos onto the ice when the Leafs were losing to the Thrashers. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonekid Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm crying inside as UBC removes the 10 year ruleOh no! Did they give any reason why they decided to do that? I'm sure kylamonkey isn't too happy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garret9 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Oh no! Did they give any reason why they decided to do that? I'm sure kylamonkey isn't too happy right now. No reason. It was under review. I can understand it... but don't know why they won't implement something to compensate for those types applicants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand it... but don't know why they won't implement something to compensate for those types applicants... it's a long shot, but they may still have something that they can replace it with... a very long shot, but you never know. still sucks for those that could have used it.

Andie Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thats so aweful! It's terrible that they think people don't change in 10 years, and that there is no such thing as redemption Sad day indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was having the 10 year rule really that much of an issue for UBC? I can understand grad reviews being extra work, but I just don't get the issue with the 10 year rule.

Cerena Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I talked to an adviser regarding the 10 year rule. According to her, they will likely make changes to the way the calculate AQ. We will know more in late January after they have decided what to do, but obviously they won't tell us anything more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 On monday my supervisor sent me an email asking if I could stop by his office this week. I told him that I'm away and won't be back until January. Today he sent me another email: I got the email you sent me [thatonekid]. Does this mean you can't stop by this week? Let me know. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well, I had already given up on UBC anyways. Without something to replace it I can't even apply for another 2 yrs. Really. Do you know what my average was for the 98-99 school year? 42%. For 10 courses. I can go around blaming everyone, but it really was up to me to make the right choices, and I knew going into this that I was going to have to work 10x harder than everyone else to make up for it. So. I guess it's time for PPB to go in motion... moving to be IP in other places. Gotta talk to John about it, I guess. maybe I should edit the signature now?

kylamonkey Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Sorry, Kyla. You're totally going to rock out PPB. I'm not actully too upset, I kind of expected it, of course. I think I'm more happy about the DADT repeal, I did not think it was going to go through in 2010. Today will be forever in my mind as the DADT/10-yr rule repeal day. Seriously though- is moving to the Yukon the strangest idea ever, or a smart move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Hood Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm crying inside as UBC removes the 10 year rule Sorry to hear this guys! UBC is not very forgiving, they count all your post-secondary grades, includinf Cegep ones. I hope changing the 10-year rule means they will not look at all your post-sec courses.

leap87 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I absolutely dislike being home. I feel like going back to Waterloo which I might do this week. Or better yet: actually take an invite from a friend in BC and go there. There's really no point in being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though- is moving to the Yukon the strangest idea ever, or a smart move? DADT got repealed? Yay!!! In regards to PPB, I think it's a good idea, in theory. You said you had family there? And it would make you more competitive at other schools. Realistically, though, UBC doesn't have a definitive solution for us yet about what they will do to compensate for the repeal of the 10 year rule. They will have an answer in January, and you can decide what to do at that point. It might end up benefiting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp.mylittlepwny Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Wow, Georges St. Pierre is Sportsnet 2010 Canadian Athlete of the Year as voted by sports fans. Its amazing to see how far he and his sport have become. In Toronto, he is arguably the best known athlete. The official one is Lou Marsh award as voted by journalist but that isn't a fair representation as journalists are like 50 and 60, lol. It also helps that the he's the only known Canadian in MMA at the moment. A champ in his division to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerena Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 For what DADT and PPB stand for? DADT stands for "Don't ask don't tell." I'm not sure if you've heard of it. You can read about it here: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-dont-ask-20101223,0,2691628.story PPB stands for Kyla's "plan polar bear." She's thinking of moving to the Yukon.
