So, I had my first classes yersterday! I started the day with MATH 184 (Differential Calculus with Social Sciences and Commerce Applications), then went on to ASTU 150 (pretty much an English course), and ended the day with ECON 101 (Principles of Microeconomics).
Math was pretty chill since we did some review on Exponential Functions, which was a bit hard to remember since I technically taught myself all of Math 12. I hope that won't hinder my success in learning Calculus... I was suppose to have a workshop this morning at 11, but there's no workshops/discussions or anything first week. so it's goood.
Then I had ASTU 150 right after Math, so I had to sprint to Buchanan which wasn't too bad. I did make it there in time. It's like a english and research class. Our topic is transgender studies...yeah, casual. The teacher is weird (just a tad...) but I think it'll be a chill class.
I had about 2 hours to spare between ASTU and Econ, so I went to the bookstore to buy a textbook and I also got a UBC hoodie! yay :)
At 12:30 today, I have Philosophy 102. Now, I did the pre-reading and I can't say if I'm gonna enjoy this class too much or not. But, I have to work hard because I need to get into commerce next year!
So, moving on from classes. I guess we can talk about rez life. First off, all I have to say is THANK GOODNESS I DID NOT GO TO MCGILL. I'm barely like 45 minutes away from home and I'm kind of homesick, let alone if I was 3700 km away in Montreal. I've gotten to make a few friends, and as I mentioned before, Fraush helped ALOT with that. I usually hang out in Okanagan house because my friend lives there. I made a few friends there, which is cool. What seems to be kind of hard is making friends on my floor. Since I last went on a rant about how I feel out of place on my floor, I can't say it's much different right now. We say hi in the hall, in the bathroom, whatever. But hanging out is just awkward. I honestly want to try, but it's a bit difficult because I'm just a bit out of place with them. Some of them are cool, while others are defs not my kind of people. I've been considering goin to the other wing and meetin some people there, but I'm kind of shy that way.
I've also tried to sit with people in the caf but I'm not super courageous like that. But, I guess I need to try harder because so far, while people say university is the best time ever and you make your life long friends there, I don't feel it yet.
I've considered branching out from my high school friends but it's hard and I don't want to push them away.
Gosh, if only this was easier...
