So, first off, I didn't get into the Photoshop course of my dreams. By the time my student advisor got off his/her lazy butt and scheduled my appointment, registration was closed. A part of me is now dead.
Things I was told during my first week of Business:
1. All the other faculties are crap--Business is superior.
2. Business has money comin' out the wazoo.
3. Accountants = drunks.
This is what's on my plate this semester:
ACCTG 311
MY PROFESSOR IS MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY! Or at least his long-lost brother. Just look:
The resemblance is startling--don't deny it! XP He's really fun and hip and he loves "House M.D." and The Killers!
This is probably my most difficult course. Right off the bat, we have a 4-page project due this Friday. And it's complicated. Full of numbers and such. But hey, it's McConaugHEY, so the lectures are endurable. I want to smack all the keeners in my class, though.
BUS 201
My most random and hated course. It's taught by the Dean Of Business, (crap). I have to make this business plan, (must be 40+ pages and very detailed), that accounts for 55% of my overall grade. I could literally fail everything else and it wouldn't matter as long as I did good on this. And I have to work in a group. But I can't choose who'll be in said group, (not that it matters...I barely know anyone). And I have to have an idea for a business by tomorrow. *IMPLODES*
The upside? The group that has the best business plan out of entire class gets $5000 in cash and a spot in regional finals with more cash prizes. Second place gets $3000 and third place gets $2000. OMFG talk about incentive! I also get to make a web page for one of my assignments, (at least I get to use Photoshop...*sniffle*), but I still hate this course. :(
MGTSC 312
Uh...it's basically statistics. I have no idea when stats = management science, but it's basically my first year stats course + multiple regression + a better professor. So, in short, I love this course. Stats is so repetitive and formulaic that it's fun! :P
The person who has the highest mark in this class automatically gets a scholarship. ;D
MARK 301
My professor: "Physical needs include: food, SEX, clothing, shelter, etc. etc." *leers at the two ditsy girls in the front row*
...That basically sums it up.
Marketing research participation is so fun. All I do is answer random questions about stuff I would buy, and I get free stuff, (e.g., bulletin board, U of A mug), and money, (e.g., $6.00), at the end! ^_^
FREN 111
Bonjour, je m'appelle Jean-Luc Picard. Je suis de USS Enterprise. Voici mon ami Geordi La Forge.
C'est bon! :D This reminds me of the Hellish months I spent in Montreal, and re-living traumatic childhood experiences is always good, right?
So, yeah, my emotions have been all over the board lately. I've been really depressed and really happy, sometimes on the same day. I've got my own room now, (complete with my own bathroom and shower), in another tower. It's cleaner, cooler, quieter, and there are 3 lounges, (so many TVs!), but it also contributes to the feeling that this year is a lot more sombre than last year. The people in my faculty are smarter, I have less free time for random shenanigans, I need more than 8 hours of sleep now for some reason, and I can't stop vacuuming my room every couple of days. It's like someone's going around with a megaphone shouting, "The fun is over! It's make it or break it time! Study, study, study!"
Something just feels different, you know? :S

He does look like an unsexy Matthew McConaughey, or like a before, in the before and after photos. But i bet he doesn't have half the charm. Your classes sound interesting, make lots of money, and don't be depressed. It could be worse, I can't imagine how worse, but it could be worse.
