First time writing with the new 'subtitle and 'summary' parts..where do they show them anyway?

The university is having orientation(july 7th) for people like me who are undecided. Actually, I am undecided because I want to transfer after a semester, but I guess that doesn't matter.

Although I don't mind going(good way to see the campus), it starts between 8-900 which means I have to leave around 6:30-7. Then it lasts all day until the evening--rush hour. It costs $65(!) and includes lunch and dinner, which I am not excited about because I will most likely not like the food.

Furthermore, they won't let us leave, I would of much rather of just went to a fast-food place for lunch but I guess they will 'lock us in'.

They also decided to make up a schedule of classes for me...without even speaking to me. I don't know if other universities do this, but I never heard of it and hate that they do it. At the orientation I will have to meet with an advisor and change my classes, because I am capable of picking my own clases.

I actually watched Eurovision(via internet as they do not air it here) for the first time last weekend. It was pretty entertaining. I heard a lot about the 'polical voting' and didn't think it would be as obvious as it was. I didn't think Russia's entry was that great, but oh well..just music.

With a lot of luck I managed to pull off all A's in my algebra, macroeconomics, and english composition classes, keeping my 4.0 for at least one more semester. I was completely surprised because I was set in my mind that I was getting one, maybe even two B's.

What kept me in the A percentages in English was I got a 38/40 on the last paper I wrote. Which is great, but he professor always gives comments on what we did wrong..he didn't write anything! He just wrote at the end it was good, ect, ect..but if there was nothing wrong with it, why did I get points taken off?

Anyway, the first of the two summer semesters starts monday, where I will be taking pre-calc at the college mondays thru thursdays, and intro. to psychology online. I got my psychology book and read through it a bit, it seems interesting..but then again I am going for a business degree.

And I just checked about my french 2 class, the only class I really want to take, which starts in july, and so far 7 people signed up. Eight are needed for the class to be kept "alive" and not cancelled like it was for the spring. I will be very angry if it cancels since I will then have to wait until next spring to take the course.

Last saturday I went to the university campus for math placement tests(required). The hour and 10 minute drive is not so bad, just a bit boring. The test went well, the first half was all algebra stuff that I just learned, and the next half was all pre-calc stuff that I will be learning soon. Although the campus itself is nice and clean(it is not a dump lol), I don't like it that much because it is a bit in the country/woods. I grew up in the country and have been around trees/wilderness all my life and am done with it. I cannot wait until the spring when I will go to the main campus in the city. Also, small campuses tend to play up the 'everyone is friendly and knows each other' quality, which is fine. But I really do not like places where everyone knows each other, I honestly would much rather walk through the street on campus not knowing anyone around me.

Most people think the small campus/community is great, but usually they are the ones that have never lived in a small town where everyone actually does know everyone else...and their business.

Funny commerical, from the NL I think
