Thank you- this is very helpful. I just have a few follow up questions I'm curious about...

4. What is the main reason students read your newspaper?

I can't just say "because they're bored and we're fun." But, yeah, I dunno. I'm sure it's the location of the racks.

And then I get into an internet pissing match over the E7 referendum. Highlights:

"Can you comment on the student-university solidarity that this donation will bring and its relevance/irrelevance?"
"I'm paying tuition and WEEF and I'm not feeling any solidarity."

"I am liking the way Scott is setting the tone, and Nancy as an active member of the IW over the years, do you have any solid counter argument to oppose Scott on this matter? To point out the E7 referendum has been a sensitive case both in EngSoc and the student senate over the past two terms."
"I'm NOT speaking as the editor and my views do NOT represent that of the IW, and really I don't see what my extracurricular activities has to do with anything. That being said,
- A donation is NOT a guarantee that we'll get a study room, since it costs 2.4M to construct anyways. However the plans have been set and the study room WILL be built with student input regardless or not if the 2018s pony up the donations.
- It's symbolic and I am not impressed.
- Touche.
- Why isn't it opt-in?
I would like to reiterate that my opinions DO NOT reflect the position of the IW in any way."

Yeah what would you know about this? You haven't been to an EngSoc meeting since ~2013.

Long-delayed appt with Fiona (Monday) in which I will probably tell her that... life is fine, I think? I don't feel particularly tortured or angsty. Not particularly directionless. I feel confident that if I ever have time to burn again I'll know what I want to do with it. I know what I'm doing to a satisfactory level of certainty.
KWR Social on the 27th? HA HA HA unlikely.
Canoe trip weekend after Easter? to book.
MAYBE go home the 21st? Unlikely. Else easter.
I want to buy a flogger but I'm going to have to live in Toronto and the plan really is to live with my parents so I can relax my brain and not worry about money and stuff for a while. Also I guess if I bought one it definitely wouldn't be from a KW brick & mortar.
Buy groceries. Buy rice. Buy vegetables. Make soup. Make lots of soup. Make rice. Pasta. Soup.
Laundry should be mid next week.

Argh. And this is the easy set of courses.

There's a guy who's been using the IW email for playstation purchases.

I know he's into:

• Call of Duty: Ghosts


• Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare


• Call of Duty: Black Ops II


• LittleBigPlanet

As far as I know he is not a past editor, past contributor, or anything.

It's not hard to make a disposable email for spam, why did he use this one?

Sony Entertainment Network support has been contacted.
