My First-Ever University Term Has 2 Days Left

Two exams left…The dreaded Statistics exam – admittedly, I put WAY more focus on the courses I was interested in, pulling an “A” in the Multiple Murder course, for example, and a decent mark in the Forensic Psychology course as well…Though Social Work will be my Master’s degree (and perhaps my eventual Ph.D). All of it is related, so knowledge is always worthwhile.

Anyway, the Stats final is Friday, then Philosophy on Saturday, which won’t be a problem at all. Stats – that’s my greatest challenge, and I’m going all out to pull off a pass. Fortunately, for my Masters program, they only look at my 4th year marks for admission, so by then, I’ll have a much better footing. After selling my car, moving to a foreign city and living in a student house with 19-year olds, it’s been one heck of an adjustment. The wonderful part is that I’m moving in with my girlfriend in the new year, so things will be so much more calm and stable at that time. We’re both going to finish our schooling in Brantford, then get the heck out of here, since we much prefer other cities to this one.

My MSW will be done in my hometown of Kitchener, so that will be great. I already have some great contacts in the field of social work, so my heart knows that this is all very worth it investment-wise. I’m so very proud of my girlfriend for returning to school as well!! Life is too short to settle for less than we desire!

With that said, ‘time to go nail the Stats exam. I’m studying with someone who has an amazing mark so far, so she’s going to help me master the review for the final. Once Stats is directly related to my field, I’ll ACE it.

P.S. – It’s almost Montreal time!!  (Can I NOT mention New Years Eve in just one post?) ;o)

Heck no.
