it is my final semester as an undergrad at the lovely underfunded university of manitoba. While in previous semesters I could be heard running through the tunnels (which tended to leak from the ceiling on a rainy spring day, ironically right in front of the freeze tuition poster) in unnecessarily loud shoes off to my consecutive classes, however, this semester is different. My schedule resembles swiss cheese, actually, the holiest cheese you can think of. Classes at the crack of dawn, only to be followed by coma-inducing 3 hour spares, 5 days a week. Some would say that since I am graduating this year, having all this spare time on my hands would be an excellent time to prepare for my future and other endeavors. So, I have decided to list what a successful student would do, post 8:30 am class, pending 3 hour spare:
1. review entire lecture I just sat through half asleep.
2. complete homework I would tend to leave for the evening.
3. read lab overview before heading to afternoon lab, so "cookbooking it" would not be necessary.
4. study for MCAT (just for fun!)
however, this is more likely to happen:
1. dump books and papers off at a random table, and fan my ass down to the closest coffee locale.
2. ponder over cinnamon raisin bagel, or sesame. decide on frosted (not glazed, obviously) cinnamon bun.
3. sit down at desk, check email and facebook on phone. Begin various "I hate school" text messages to those in class.
4. make plans to find the new stella's location on campus (urban legend?). Prepare for a second breakfast.
5. after second breakfast, waste the next hour online shopping.
6. count the number of uggs seen on passing students.
7. grab another coffee on the way to second class of the day.
All in all, a mighty productive day if I do say so. It all depends on how ADD I feel. But one should always feel accomplished if they pull up to the university when its dark out, and head home when its dark out. That means something, right?
