Wow, so I haven't touched this in forever. My bad. Nothing too exciting happening over here, except trying to finish mountains of homework. If I had any focusing skills it work a whole lot better, but hey.

I'm switching my major today from English to History, because frankly, I hate English. I love books, but the class? Does nothing for me. Oh well though, history is cool and the second and third year classes look awesome.

I also have two and a half months and then I'm done my first year of university. It's weird, I still don't even feel like I'm old enough to be in uni, much less almost done a year. It's been good though, I'm enjoying being here.

So, how's everything? Anything exciting going on?

Hey there!

Twice in a week? This is a new record for me.

I moved up to North Bay on Saturday, which went surprisingly smoothly. No waits or anything, I was able to just bring my stuff up to my room with no problems at all.

Only one of my roommates was actually there on Saturday so it was only the two of us (out of four) until five o' clock Tuesday. Megan and I (roommate #1) are getting along really well, which is nice. A good deal of the weekend was spent participating a whole bunch of res activities.

Most of the rest of this week has been taken up with doing frosh week, which has been a blast. Had the muddy Olympics yesterday, which included events such as Condiment Twister (playing twister on a mat covered in canned beans, ketchup, mustard and muddy water). Also had The Amazing Race event today, which my team won. Yay!

Also did my first ever grocery shop sans parental units. It was fun, and I got lots of yummy food (though sadly, very little of that is sugary...)

How's stuff going in Barrie? Anything exciting happening at school?

Right, so I haven't done any journals since April so I might as well update.

My summer has been really good, pretty much consisting of me working or relaxing. I'm doing a little bit of freaking out right now, as I leave for school in six days and am... not quite (/at all) packed. Have to get started on that asap. Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited and hoping that everything will go (relatively) smoothly.

Hope everyone else has been having a great summer. ♥

Choices

Sat Mar 15, 2008, 7:51 AM
University junk/talking about ahead. If I've already drove you nuts with this stuff, ignore me.

So. I have received a third offer of admission today, so I've been accepted into all three universities that I've applied for. This is s hugely exciting thing for me, as I had my doubts about even getting accepted into one. But now comes the sucky part: I have to choose. I've ruled out Lakehead on account of the distance, so I'm left with Nipissing and Laurentian.

I actually went up to North Bay and Sudbury yesterday to look at both places, and overall I think that I like Laurentian better. The only thing is that Nipissing is supposed to have a bit of a better program. The big problem with that school is it looks kinda like a cross between a jail and highschool, and their options so far as extracurricular stuff suck. In my mind, the biggest thing they have going for them at the moment (aside from the really good reputation) would be the fact that you are guaranteed your own room.

Laurentian has a nicer campus, a nicer school, and extra curricular activities that include me learning how to hit people with sticks. Which I think is pretty sweet. And they have a beach on campus. The professor's that I talked to seemed really nice and the class sizes aren't to large. Downsides: I have to share a room. I suppose I could live with this considering I shared with my sister forever, but... I still want my own space. omg though, they have the most amazing library type room ever though. If you go upstairs in the library there's this huge circular room, three quarter's of which is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The rest of the room is filled with leather armchairs (facing these windows) and big comfy couches and a fireplace. I think I've fallen in love with this room. Ahem. I have been told that it is not proper grounds to choose a university on, so I shall stop thinking about it now.

Anyway, choosing is sucky. So far I'm leaning towards Laurentian (can you tell?) but everyone else in my family wants Nipissing. So, we shall see how all this goes. And I have five monthes before I leave. Scary.
