School

Years from now, the japanese sakura @ UTSC will be as nice as those in High Park

Well as mentioned before, i'm taking 5 courses during the summer just so i can graduate on time by next spring. It is quite the downer to finish exams on may 1st, and then thrust right back to school may 5th, but i pretty much brought this upon myself due to poor course management.

So far, the courses seem pretty interesting. Dr. Ramsay of Child Health and Development is kinda a funny guy. He managed to crack a few jokes about Britney Spears, Madonna and celebrities in general throughout the introduction lecture. There were also imitations of Mr. Burns and Fraisier which made the 10am course much more enjoyable and lively. Sociology with MacKinnon was also quite interesting. Though he just started talking 20 minutes into class time, the topics mentioned were quite intriguing. I think i dozed off a bit though due to a lack of sleep. However judging by how much he wrote on the overhead, it seems this is a course i'll need to stay awake in. Today i had Communications in Psych (a prereq), the course which i dreaded in taking since first year. But it turned out much better than i thought. Placenza was very organized and the intro lec made it sound like learning about APA and writing wasn't as bad as everyone thought it'd be. It also helped that she's quite pretty for a professor, so listening to her talk about some as boring as APA was more enjoyable.

Speaking of school, it's hard to believe that i'm going into my last yr of university already. Going from grade 9 to grade 12 felt like an eternity, whereas university life flew right by. It feels like it was just yesterday that I attended commencement @ woburn, but at the same time, i know and feel that the fun and carefree times as highschoolers are long gone. There are many people i haven't even seen since graduating and I'm pretty sure i won't see some of them ever again. But I suppose this is all part of growing up and moving on in life. There are many transitions we go through as we age and it's regrettable that we end up losing contacts with the people we used to know.

Ah the good ol' days...not a care in the world. All that mattered was moving from one day to the next.
