done with a week

i survived the first week of university!

this week hasn't really been tough, but compared to high school, it definitely requires more focus and determination. i already have homework and self-studying for the lectures-to-come to do over the weekends. plus my labs/tutorials start next week, so there are like pre-lab assignments, etc.

why so stressed up? because BGYA01 lecture today, they showed us this video clip. it sort of scared me a little as the importance of studying in advance was emphasised over and over again by previous first year-students so as to not fall behind. i watch alot of tv, spend alot of time on the WWW, and slack alot. so.. i don't really fall under the hardworking category.

the past few days isn't really worth mentioning; just the school routine. my stomach growls midway through lectures as i don't really have breakfast. so i'm making a point to have my breakfast now. oh, and i'm a member of the 'association of biology and chemistry students' (ABCS). membership came at a discount with the lab coat and goggles. might as well join a club..

about social life in utsc, i decided not to really get best friends as it doesn't work like this in university. everyone has their on timetable; different courses, lectures, tutorials, labs. and even if you get some courses alike, you won't be guranteed sitting next-to-next in the lecture hall. a scan through 500 people won't find you your BFF. so acquaintances will be the proper term.

i think that should be about all. time for Studious Me to shine. (:
