> That's terrific! When do you start?
monday. or my first class is scheduled for tuesday, actually.
i'm kinda scared.
the first semester curriculum is a broad social science-y intro to university / to health. with lofty goals like teaching students how to take notes appropriately for university and how to think critically and how to write (horror of horrors) 1,500 word essays. On the one hand an easy intro of a semester might be nice... I have been working pretty hard on my thesis over the summer and had a lot of stress with moving... On the other hand my experience at tech last year tells me that I'm more likely to snap at the crap that they are likely to be feeding us before we get properly underway with our degree specific courses next semester.
i can apply for recognition of prior learning to get out of the first semester curriculum... i'm not entirely sure what to do. the hardest thing is that i'm not entirely sure who to talk to about this (who can understand where i'm at) since the school is so large and i'm just another first year who hasn't been given any opportunity as yet to distinguish herself from the herd in any way at all...
i guess i just suck it up and bite my lip as best i can...
