Re: OT: Is this normal?
Today it doesn't seem so bad. Maybe because I'm going home for the weekend after classes are done.
Just in case for some strange reason you're wondering what classes I have this semester, here they are: (all first year, of course)
-Chemistry
-Biology
-Computer Science (for non-computer science majors)
-Calculus
-Physics

Of course, what did you expect?

Re: OT: Is this normal?
An instant masters degree in "universal conquest" and "galactic empire management", with minors in "efficient starship design", "colony buildup management" and "tactical and strategic warship command". What else?

Re: OT: Is this normal?
Hold on it Renegade. As you have heard, change is not only for good, it is inevitable. Those who doesn't adapt will perish. Simply rule of Darwinism. On another words, survival of the fittest. Luckily, our life is not that dramatic, but I have found out that life is lot easier when not to be overly worried over changes and take them as chances instead of obstacles. Go for it, beat yourself and be a winner.

Re: OT: Is this normal?
In my experience, it seems to be that for most people, the first 3 weeks are the worst, mainly for the 'culture shock' value. Even though you're pretty close to home, it's still NOT home.
Stick it out for the first semester/trimester/quarter/whatever. If you still don't like it, try to pinpoint what exactly you don't like; is it the people you live with? Move. Is it the school's culture? Transfer. Can't meet people? Look for interesting clubs. Just don't like academic life? Well, then try working for a while, but do it as a "Leave of Absence". Sometimes you'll realize after working that you really do want those extra few years in the bubble of academia.
And yes, it's normal.

Re: OT: Is this normal?
Stick it out. Things will get easier. I have known lots of people who dropped out and regretted it later - every one in fact. Also, every single person I have known who swore that they would take some time off but eventually go back to college never did for numerous different reasons, but the fact is that all regretted it later. Hang in there, buddy.

Re: OT: Is this normal?
 Canadians don't drink tea!!! Coffee!
Oh, and the way to identify a Canadian (well, a Canadian other than those that live near the border...wusses ). Ask them if they like cold weather. If they say yes, they're a Canadian (or a Russian, but the accent should give that away!). I love the cold and snow and everything to do with it. Winter makes me happy. I like the darkness it brings too

Re: OT: Is this normal?
Vancouver winters are OK. Sometimes I feel like it's dark all the time, though because when I go to work in the morning it's dark, and when I go home after work it's dark, and in between I'm indoors. Cold weather is OK ... up to a certain point. I don't want to go to Fort McMurray again in January!

Odd; I happen to like the cold, so should I apply for Canadian citizenship? Of course, I cannot say I have ever seen something looking like winter: the coldest it got here was a bit under -10 Celcius, only slightly below short-sleeves weather. |
