Default TGI.. reading week??

This marks the beginning of my week away from school. My excitement is represented by a mix of emoticons:

:coo l::c ool:



I have so much to catch up on. Nine courses in one semester sucks ass, especially when all the tests come within one week of eachother. Time to get ahead and stay ahead, wish me luck!

ps. I need something fun to do this week, any ideas?

It's 23 credits I think. I'm in college though, not university, if that makes a difference.
I'm working on managing my time better, I've never been good at it but at least now I'm trying to do something about it. Once I get that under check, and motivate myself to go through the classes that I hate (like group exercise leadership, which is basically teaching me how to lead an aerobics class, something I'll NEVER do) I should fly through this program.
Thanks for wishing me luck Matt.

That's 23 "Canadian" credits. I'm checking the exchange rate now to see what that converts to in "US" credits.

Holy crap...23 credits, Nine Classes..that is quite a course load, even for College. (Canadian College is a bit different then University, for the U.S. readers..LOL)

As for fun this week..I think you are going to need more sleep, then fun...perhaps if you combine the fun and sleep time...hmm what is there fun that you can do, while in bed, and then immediately fall asleep..hmm there has to be something....LOL

Okay in all seriousness, good luck Matthew.

Thanks. Here a university usually consists of several colleges. For instance, I visited Boston University today, which has 11 colleges in it.

You interested in going there? I think a couple of kids from my school went there last year.
