Endeavors

I'm having a great semester so far. I'm rounding off my first year of studies with second year Environmental Studies, Human Geography, and a really fascinating class called Economics of World Food Issues and Policies. My prescribed textbook for the latter is Fast Food Nation. I'm currently learning about the history of agriculture and animal domestication: really interesting stuff. I have a hunch that agriculture will be a part of whatever I do once I've graduated.

I dropped one course, unfortunately. Critical thinking, which was a shame because I was really enjoying the professor's lectures. He was sassy and tried his best to embarrass the students who guessed at their answers. The reason is that I can't handle the work load this semester, for two reasons:




1. I'm beginning high school math next week. The six hours of class per week required for this upgrade will be the equivalent of two university courses in time spent in the classroom. Then there's the homework. And finally, there's the historical proof emblazed upon my high school transcript that I wasn't very good at math. I need this math pre-requisite to take courses next year. It shall get the respect it deserves.

2. I'm hunting for a part time job. I want something around 5-12 hours per week, simply to supplement my income. A large course load would make that impossible.

What this means is I'll be taking summer courses, which likely won't be a problem since I've decided I'm staying in Winnipeg this summer anyways.

Summer. It's so far off....*
