little student rant
About a month ago, I came to admissions and registration at UFV to send my transcript to UBC. I requested that it be sent on or after January 10th because that’s what UBC required. Unfortunately, UFV did not listen to me, and UBC sent me an email saying they got it too early. So, here I am, in the peak of A&R panic as #54 is being helped (I’m 99 and pulled a number when they were...

small bragging moment:
This semester went much better than I thought it would - My lowest grade was a B- in calculus, which is the lowest grade I’ve gotten in a long time (the only B I’ve gotten since grade 10 PE….), but it’s not a fail, and I tried my best. I got the highest grade in my class for both psychology and nutrition. - I got 96 on my psych final which got me an A+ (I needed at least...

“Worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but doesn’t get you anywhere”

some facts
Bevis and Butthead scare the shit out of me I have eaten toast with peanut butter & sliced banana on top for about 90% of my breakfasts for the past few months I like sleeping in a cold room with lots of blankets I’ve been staying up late studying lately instead of staying up late from roaming the internet. Kinda weird to be so studious. I like UFV, though. I like that it’s a bit...
