- getting ready! I can hardly wait! All my high school friends are also making plans for their moves to different places. - receiving lots of stuff from Queen’s these days. - found out I’m going to be in Victoria Hall residence, I got my new computer, I am all packed and ready to go!
- Frosh week was sort of scary at first, but after the first day I really got into it. The grease pole was the best, but I’m so hoarse now I can’t talk. Ate nothing but ice cream and cookies for dinner last night. I love Queen’s! - Week 1- intense... tonnes of homework in my first class! Good news tho - I’ve got a couple of other engineers on my floor, and we’ve decided to study together.
- midterm marks back - pas sed everything- never thought a 65 would look so good! - Gotta stop these late nights and early mornings, friends all have colds I can feel one coming.
- first Physics quiz - brutal. I passed (barely). Must read through notes before class! - Miss my bed back home. Heading off to Douglas Tutorials for some help in Physics - Thank God for Thanksgiving -sort of strange though loved being home but missed Queen’s. - got to get a louder alarm! It’s hard to get up for an 8:30 class when you don’t sleep until 4AM! - midterms next week are freaking me out! No time to cram like in high school!!

- marks back - I passed!! John and Sarah going into J-section. - I know I can improve my marks, I’m going to be healthier this term and not put stuff off as much. Maybe I should talk to that Learning Strategies person at the ILC! - got to start thinking about my discipline choice. - orientation evenings were great! I know where I’m headed.
- term going much better - I’m really getting my math and physics, quizzes going well. - midterms... then READING WEEK!
