But it's a small and insignificant one compared to other real crises.
I'm going to see my advisor tomorrow, and then I'll continue with this post either feeling like I've let loose half of the sack of lumpy potatoes draped over my back, or like I've become a donkey with a life-sentence in the goods transportation business somewhere in the Middle East.

I'm back, and the sack has fallen.
Damn, my advisor is good. Hahahaa.
I had to wait almost 2 hours though, dammit! I was tempted to turned my number 9 into a number 6 and just skip the line XD but I'd feel so guilty afterwards...
Anyways, the end results of the meeting helped me realize and decide on some things:
-I'm sticking on the path towards the Interfaculty of Environment, within Arts&Science (BA&Sc.)
-I don't think I even need the follow-up Chem 120 next term.
-Math is over after first year (U0), and I just need a statistics course which I can take anytime in the remaining 3 years.
-Basically, most of my science credits will come from Biology and Geography.
-No Physics. =]
-I can't believe being in the (not real) faculty of Arts&Science is so perfect for me! I mean, if I had decided to go into Science, I would have been forced to take all the Sciences, etc. no matter what I wanted to get into.
During the meeting, I brought up one of my chief concerns, again, since the first advisor I saw in the before school began wasn't my real "assigned" advisor. Which was Physics. Simply, I looked at all those areas listed under the Environment program and asked if it would be a problem for any of the courses. Of course, I expected a definite yes, for at least for one of the courses listed- but he surprised me by saying no, not at all and at that moment I was thinking OMGIloveyou.
Then he looked at my courses for 2nd term, and he said, "And you don't really need the Chem 120" which was surprising since I didn't even asked anything pertaining to Chem, since I thought it was a no-duh-of-course-you-need-it course, but when he actually said that, it blew my mind. Because it means that it's true what he's saying, that it is not even needed in the courses listed for my program, that it's legit and OMG no chemistry? Taking it away is like taking the third leg away from the foundational support of the imagined "science chair" I have in my mind- Biology, Chemistry, Physics.
I've been taking sciences forever, throughout elementary and high school, it seems. So leaving any of it behind makes me feel scared. I mean, after that, I'm at a loss at what to take, since university offers so many courses that seem strange and wonderful and completely new, and it's gone into unfamiliar territory. Am I ready to explore it? Well, from the looks of it, I've already wandered off the main road. Anthropology. Environment (next year, U1). Geography- a new science, which I am excited and hopeful about (will this be my science, along with biology?). French (hopefully in U1!).

fyi I watched russell peters. I'll have to admit, he's pretty good (but WAYY inappropriate).
ReplyDeleteWonder you what made me go watch him? what was stronger than your months and months of badgering me to watch him?
At the innis open mic night, somebody told the brown mc to perform russell peters. He faltered, thought about what russell says, and then someone shouted "DOLLAR STORE" which piqued my interest :)
Sorry, who are you?
ReplyDeletehahaa kakkaaaaa fine it's jenn...(not sniff) ifer!
ReplyDeletegood: figuring out that you don't need physics ever. but geography? what will you be learning in that?
I wonder =P
ReplyDeleteSince it's actually a huge branch of science (now i have to build a new 4-legged science chair to include it), and I've never even ventured into it, I'm thinking it's going to be enlightened in many things. My deciding factor shall be my Geo 104 course (beginner) that i'm taking next semester- I suppose in general, geography is about the earth, climate, land changes, terrain.. my roomie was telling me the Political Geography is a really cool course from hearsay.
