My Patronus would yield a Dog

What Animal Guide Would You Produce If You Could Cast A Patronus? (Harry Potter – Updated With Additional Results) created with QuizFarm.com

You scored as Dog The patronus you would yield would be a dog. Like the dog you are probably very faithful to those who have treat you well in the past. However this can be seen as a negative as you are very willing to be affectionate to the kindness of strangers. Dog 94% Dolphin 81% Stag 75% Owl 69% Elephant 69% Cat 63% Tiger 56% Peafowl 50%

I can’t believe this. Out of the many sections I’ve preenlisted in, I only got 6 units.

I’ll try to “rebuild” my “broken” schedule and post it here later.

Yahoo! Messenger status message length

There was a recent change in Yahoo! Messenger’s status message length, reducing the maximum number of characters from 250 to 40. Sarah Bacon, the Product Manager for Yahoo! Messenger, explains on their team blog that “it was an inadvertent change and [they]’re working now on rolling it back to what it was (250 character max).”

So, be patient folks!

Update: The issue had already been fixed, as mentioned by Product Manager Sarah Bacon on the comments. For those who still can’t create status messages longer than 40 characters, please restart Yahoo! Messenger for the fix to take effect.

No wonder.

I officially own the keyword Take not the road less travelled on Google! If you’ve been living under a rock the whole time and still wondering what the keyword is, it’s the title of Miss Mikaela Fudolig’s valedictory speech last April.

Take note that only when spelled travelled (not traveled) will my post show up as number one, even though I used traveled in that post.

Upcoming exams.

1. October 5: Math 54 (4th long exam)
2. October 8: Physics 71 (3rd long exam)
3. October 9: CS 21 (3rd long exam)
4. October 10: Geog 1 (Final exam; oral)
5. October 11: Math 54 (Final exam)
6. October 11: Physics 71 (Final exam; hopefully, I’ll be exempted from taking this) Even if I take this, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be able to up my final grade. It’s not worth taking this now.

How I wish the Math Department would offer exemptions for 50 series subjects! Oh, well.

Slow CRS

CRS is responding very slowly already. I wonder if they’re really ready for this all-online thing they’re implementing.

OK, since it’s the first day of preenlistment, I’d give CRS the benefit of the doubt. But, they should really think of upgrading their hardware, if they haven’t done so; if they do not, then going all-online now wouldn’t be a very good idea.

(The CRS team should start becoming more open to the students! Sometimes, I feel if such a team really does exist in the first place.)

Second Semester CRS Online Preenlistment Now Open

Updated: October 8,2007 5:35 PM

Today is officially the start of online preenlistment for second semester, AY 2006-2007! This will also be the second time that all enlistments will be done online, including prerog (the CRS user guide [Adobe PDF] calls it “electronic teacher’s prerogative”). The first time was during the last summer term (oh, the agony). I hope the CRS team gets it right this time. By the way, there is no realtime enlistment this semester (Update: Based on emails I’ve been receiving from “trustworthy channels,” it seems that there will indeed be a realtime enlistment next semester. I wonder if it’s the same as the “electronic teacher’s prerogative” coming the week after regular registration); instead, they will be implementing daily batch enlistment runs, which is also random, like preenlistment.

By the way, here are my currently preenlisted classes, as of October 8, 2007 (I will be updating this list until the first run ends on October 9):
