The long-looming strike is going to happen tomorrow. It's been looking like it was almost a certainty for a while now and the latest talks only ended up strengthening that outlook. I was actually talking to a couple profs today and they outright said that the strike would definitely be happening.

I'm not really upset about the whole strike thing. The way I see it, as long as it doesn't go on so long that I lose the term, it's basically just a chance for me to relax in a nag-free environment. I plan to take full advantage of that opportunity. Of course, if the strike goes a few weeks and there is still no end in sight, then I'll start to worry, but for now it's all good.

Defunct Word of the Day: Bordel

It can mean either a brothel (or bordello) OR a worthless fellow.
