Whew been a loooong week I tell yah. But over all not bad. I have a bunch of school stuff to do this upcoming week/weekend (that's to be expected though). There was a poster sale today so I ended up buying one that was a copy of Skull with Burning Cigarette by Van Gogh and a smaller Lord of the Rings one that's pretty sweet. Also today there were a bunch of guys raising money for their soccer team. They were wearing bibs and diapers and you could whip eggs at them for 2 bucks lol, gotta love university.
I had my first Physics and Chemistry labs this week. It was all pretty simple stuff, they went well. And my lab partners seem to be quite nice. Actually it's kind of weird. Earlier this summer I met a girl at the orientation who was also named Kayla, and I was like woah okay cool, I know another Kayla here now lol. Then in my physics lab that same girl ends up being there which was nice cause then I know someone in our little group. Theeeen I randomly sit next to a girl and she ends up being my lab partner and guess what her name is? Kaila. And then I go to my chemistry lab and get randomly assigned another lab partner. And her name is McKayla. Maybe by the end of the month I'll know all the Kayla's in all my classes lmao.
Oh and I'm suuuuuper stoked for tomorrow. I think I mentioned this a way long time ago, but I'm going to see the Legend of Zelda Symphony in Toronto tomorrow. And since it's my first actual time being there I'm going to go to the CN Tower and the ROM and a bunch of other stuff hopefully (though I'm only there for like a day and a night). I will fit it all in somehow!
Katie, hang in there. I think we're all in the same "school is horrible" boat. Except maybe Adam who seemed pretty excited for his school lol. And don't worry about the locks, I started using a locker in grade 6 and it just takes a bit of practice to get it. But once you do it's so easy you just do it without thinking. I do wear pyjama pants outside sometimes, but not all that often. Pants are pants though so I don't really care if people see me in them.
As for your question about university. I'll be 100% honest here and say that I still have no clue as to what I want to do in the future. Something that I like I hope, but I can't get more specific then that (forensics? vet? researcher???). I chose to go into biology because a) I always liked science, especially biology and b) I figure that it's general enough at the moment that it leaves a lot of job options open. The only other thing I might have considered to major in would have been art and to be honest I chose science because art is more of a hobby for me.
In terms of university choice... I wanted to get far but not that far from home for one so I stayed in the province. I had 3 schools to apply to so I chose Lakehead (Thunder Bay), UOttawa (Ottawa), and Guelph (Guelph). The Lakehead application was only for my mom's sake really, and as a back up. The main reason I tried Guelph was for their vet school, but I ended up changing my mind about that. So I went with Ottawa because they had Co-op (paid work program) for biology, my sister was also here, and I really liked Ottawa when I visited it. It's a nice city.
So yeah that was long, but that was my thought process. Basically, go for something that you personally like because if you are passionate about something then you'll do good in it and you'll get farther than if you just try for something that you think will, for example, get you a really high paying job or something.
On another note I joined the school's anime club. Our first meeting is next week. I really looking forward to it because to be honest I've never had friends that were really into anime or manga so I never had anyone to talk about that stuff if I ever wanted. I was chatting with an older member and I think I'll be having a good time.
DFTBA

PS - Did you know that Charles Darwin wrote down pros and cons for whether or not he should get married. It's pretty entertaining really. On the pro side he has "children" and "better than a dog" and for cons he has things like "less money for books."
