I finally got my information packet from my college! I found out my room, roommate, and classes. My roommate's name is casey Meisenbacher, and I haven't talked to her yet. I like the name casey though, lol ^_^ I got a nice room, all things considered. In the biggest dorm building. It's the only building with carpeted floors, yay. All in all I'm pleased.

Now about the courses... I already knew I had chemistry and calc 3. I just found out that my other two courses are Mathematics and Art, and Genetic Testing. Wow. That's a pretty scientific and mathematic courseload, eh? I'm glad I'm getting some bio in there, I miss bio. The only bad thing is that I have classes either at 8:45 or 9 AM every morning, Monday-Friday. Monday I have three classes (GT is at 7:30-10:30 PM! Isn't that weird? It's only once a week too) but Tuesday I only have one. So I guess that balances out. Thursdays I have a chem lab for four hours in the afternoon, wow. I'm actually really excited about that, I like labs! *geektastic* Also, Genetic Testing just sounds so awesome. DNA fingerprinting! It's just about as close to forensics as I could get. Dude, I could be a csi, hehe.

Soooo. That's that.

Also, it looks like I'm going to be keeping my laptop after all. That's kind of a yay. It would have been nice to have a shiny new iBook, with twice the hard drive space, but it alleviates a LOT of problems. I get to keep Photoshop - YAY! So... that's that, I suppose. We're gonna buy my brother a much cheaper one.

oh it sounds exciting. You guys do university very different from us! so it was hard keeping up but it sounds very good! i remember when i started uni...*deep sigh* now i'm in my final month of my final course...i was gonna go for my PhD but i just cannot do another year. so just keep chilled and don't leave things to the last minute! If i could go back and do it all again, knowing what i know now - thats what i would change. Leaving things to the last minute killed me at uni, even now...when i know better i'm still doing it. I've left myself three weeks to write my masters thesis! so try your hardest not to do that!

Very sage advice ^_^ I think that's one of those things that I know in my head, but I'm going to have a hard time carrying out. Procrastination is such a part of how I work, lol. It shouldn't be! But there it is. Thanks for the advice though :)

i'm the exact same (re: three weeks to write thesis) and i always say "this year will be different" and i'll go to the library for a few hours every day....for like the first week then i stop going to lectures and classes and i do nothing for the rest of the year then panic come assessment time. *shakes head* you'd think after 5 years i would learn to behave myself!
