Death By Tok, Part II April 13, 2009
Posted by Astrid in Musings and Rants.8 comments
Obvious what the problem is, this time. Oh wait! I just committed a fatal ToK error! Oh, woe is me!
Thought this might entertain you – a Monty Python sketch on International Philosophy:
I find it amusing how “Sophocles” and “Socrates” are spelled.
While we’re at it… go watch some hilarious videos on rants about IB (and other subjects) ;)
Keeping track of the Panic-O-Meter:
Tok Word Count (of essay): 0
EE Proposal Word Count (of actual proposal): 0
World Lit Thesis Word Count (of actual thesis): 0
Number of things that are crossed off on my to-do list: 0
The result?
(It looks alot like the red button thingy in the IBO)
To end the post, here’s a memorable quotation from The Matrix (to be IB-related)… with a few omissions.
Ah, the Matrix. Happy ToK-ing, everyone.
Jaw Dropping Moments April 6, 2009

Jaw dropping moments:
1. “B Patton” comment
2. Dreaming that New Westminster was a gulag
3. Wasting 2 hours watching “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” Still fuming over the loss of 2 precious hours over such a bloody pointless movie.
4. The time at this instant which is out of proportion to how much time I need to finish all my bloody homework before school starts on Monday.
5. The amount of time I waste:
This is SO TRUE for me. I live for pointless internet discussions.
Too much homework to keep track; cursing the skies like everyone else.
Oh my. April 2, 2009

ZOMG
FREE PAST IB EXAMS ONLINE! REALLY REALLY REALLY HELPFUL FOR EXAMS!!!
Don’t kill me!
Brought to you by your roving reporter, April Fools Day at IB!
Most Predictable April Fools Joke: IB Council informs everyone the “unfortunate news”, which is to say, the IB FORMAL HAS BEEN CANCELED. Strangely enough, Briân-the-Camera-God replies, “This is the best piece of news I’ve received this entire month!” Oh, for shame!
Most Enjoyable Moment of Pulling an April Fools Joke: What else but The Big Bang Science Journal? Hope you enjoyed reading about about the effects of tourism and the deaths of good-natured women (groan), famous politican John Galt, the awesome-fantastic names, and being rickroll’d ;)
Rick Astley LOL
Thanks for the genius picture Tiphatron Lambda!
Most Nerdy April Fools Joke: Suzy telling me, in a totally seriously, deadly, solemn, and ENTIRELY convincing voice that our ACT project was rejected. My reaction:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S CANCELLED I WORKED 3543907 HOURS ON IT OMG I’M GOING TO SERIOUSLY QUIT OH MY GOD HOW COULD THEY WE CAME TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS AND WORKED ON THE PROJECT HOW COULD THEY…
before noticing how she was cracking up all over the floor.
Most Evil April Fools Joke: Mr. Clam Little puts post-its proclaiming two dreaded words on the backs of IB students (including Michelin Leek) that makes the entire hallway of students groan in frustration and cursing the skies.
How was your April Fools? Pulled off a really good trick? Rant all about it here ;D
