Wow. So that was my first year of university. That went by quickly.
When all is said and done, I should hopefully walk out with an A- average. Hopefully. I kind of wish I had made more of an effort, but alas.
Anyway, I haven't updated in a while so maybe I should...
1. For the most part, the post-strike fiasco went by with only minor hitches. Papers got pushed backed, assignments got cancelled (if you were lucky) and exams went as scheduled. It was only Chung who was an idiot and made us learn the lost material ourselves because he was still going to use it on the final.
2. I'm moving out in the fall as planned; however, my mother may be moving out west to Alberta where my sister is which means I'd be the only on on the island. Sketchy. If she does move out west though, then I think she wants to drive out there, which means roadtrip across the country! (I'd take a plane back to P.E.I.). It works out though because then I get to keep my bed and some of the furniture, plus the washer/dryer, TV, etc. can be bought and used in my new place.
3. On a whim I auditioned for School for Scandal which goes into production in the fall. I wasn't planning on participating or anything but on the day of auditions I asked if it was too late to make an appointment. I was given a main character role so I'm pleasantly surprised. The director said something about being impressed with me. Go figure.
4. My English prof went insane. We had to pass in a memoir for our final project, but he had us do it in stages and then a final copy. I chose to write about the first year we spent in Canada living in an apartment building. The twist was that instead of writing it from any one person's perspective, I wrote it from the apartment's, eavesdropping on our conversations and witnessing our experiences. He gave me 95% on the draft, which is worth 15% of my overall mark and left me a note stating that it was (and I quote) "beautifully written, mature, wise, moving, compelling and exquisite." Infact he liked it so much that he talked to Matt Rainey who hosts CBC Radio's "Main Street" and he's going to see if I can get on the show to read an exert and talk about my experience. Personally, I thought my memoir was absolute rubbish...
5. I'm taking a summer class. I'll be taking Psychology 100s, which is 101 and 102 combined, it's only for 6 weeks and ends June 12th though. The only problem is that you have to cover an entire year worth of material in those 6 weeks so I'm assuming it's going to be insane. The first 3 weeks you learn 101 and the last 3 102. There's all these papers and assignments, plus a ton of tests you have to write, not to mention a final. Ugh, at least it counts for 2 credits.
6. I'm officially a moron. Come the fall this is what my life will be like: I'll be taking two sciences; Biology 111 and Physics 251 (that's right, a second year physics course). You don't need to take first year physics for 251, or it's continuation 252 (which I'll be taking as well, alongside Biology 112), but I still think I'm going to die. I'll also be taking 2 English courses first semester, and then 3 second semester. Add to that work, rehearsals, and my attempt to have a life. I'm going to die. Oh well, when I'm dead I won't have to worry about paying bills and rent, plus managing to keep on top of my studies.
7. The song "Limelight" by Two Hours Traffic was used in this weeks episode of The O.C.
