Really? It seems to me things are escalating rather. Now a transit strike is planned for Friday.....great, I have a midterm that day and I need to find an alternate way to go to school. gonk My prof made it clear that as long as there's no strike involving the profs then the midterm is still on.....*curses*

Oh, that's horrible.

And I heard that the BCTF and the government have started talking, or something.

Yeah, they had a meeting last night, but the late night news showed Jinny Sims (is that the right spelling? xd ) emerging from it looking quite unhappy. All she would say is something about the teachers moving "significantly* while the government will not budge. The transit strike seem pretty likely to happen now. xp

Actually, I'm really lucky. My dad took a week off just this week and I can get him to drive me lol. But I don't like depending on my dad too much....I mean, UBC is really out of the way and everything. If the strike lasts longer I'll try to get rides from my friends who can drive. xd

Yeah, the strike will probably happen. I already got an email from one of my profs who's cancelling class tomorrow cuz of the number of students affected by it. Lol, now I only have one class to go to tomorrow.

I tried searching up some updated news but most of them sound pretty iffy right now, nothing official as of yet. Lol, I found this rant about the strike: http://squishyhead.net/transit_rant.html
