Summer Plans

So I was able to register for courses at UBC this summer. So far, I'm only in one course, it's called a Food, Nutrition, and Health class. It started on May 12th, so I missed the first few classes because I registered late. My first midterm is next Monday on June 2nd, and I have an assignment due this Friday as well. I am starting to get a bit stressed but I still believe I have enough time to do everything. After this class is over in June, I might be taking two Thompson Rivers University classes online. But I am not completely sure yet.

I'm also glad I could register at UBC this summer because then I can workout at the UBC gym for the student price which is significantly cheaper. I'm going to get my membership tomorrow because when I tried to get it last week they said the system hadn't updated yet and said I wasn't registered in courses so they said to come in on Wednesday (tomorrow).

I am quite concerned about my FNH class because it is a science class and a 200 level class. I haven't taken a science class in a few years so I may be a bit rusty. I'll be glad once the midterm is over and I get my mark back because then I can gauge how I'm doing. But in the mean time I guess I'll just study and wait. Starting tomorrow I plan on putting in 8-10 hour days studying until my midterm. I might increase it to 12 hours on the weekend if I feel I'm not absorbing the material. There is quite a bit of material to know but most of it seems fairly interesting.

( ) Draft Day

(Removed)

 I saw the movie Draft Day, the Kevin Costner movie about the NFL Draft, and it was really good! I was surprised how good it was. If youre a fan of the NFL or even sports, then I highly suggest watching Draft Day. The next movies I'm looking forward to are Neighbours, Godzilla, and 22 Jump Street.

Uncertain Summer

Hey so sorry for the delay between posts. I have just been relaxing and also running some errands. The errands are in relation to my courses because I was registered in 3 courses at Langara for the summer but I was dropped from them because I didn't pay my fees! I've been scrambling by talking to UBC and trying to register for 2 courses there. They said it may be a bit too late to register now, but I should find out sometime next week. Next week is also when classes start so I'll be attending lectures just in case I can register at UBC.

I am not proud of not paying my fees, but in my defense I have never heard of a school requiring fee payment 2 weeks before the first day of class. I was also given no warning, no emails, nothing. The only way I would have known is if I looked on the calendar on the website. Despite this, I can't help but feel a bit irresponsible about this whole thing.

My girlfriend also had a great idea by suggesting that I take Thompson Rivers University online classes. So if I can't register at UBC, I will take Thomspon Rivers classes instead of working this summer. I feel my education is too important to put off for a summer. The only problem is that I don't really like online classes, but I'm hoping that I will enjoy the ones that I'll register in. They will be 3 classes in total, 1 math class and 2 social work classes.

As soon as I know what I'm doing this summer, I will post on here. I guess I will just have to watch some NHL playoff hockey in the mean time.
