Time to rest a bit
Wow, what a crazy week this has been. Let me describe it to you:
Tuesday night, the Summer schedule went online for York. I nearly shit my pants when the two courses I need to take are being offered on the same night at the same time. I didn’t sleep too good that night.
The next day, I began my quest to fix the problem. There’s no way I’m going back for the Winter term, I must graduate at the end of Summer. So, many phone calls, visits, and meetings later, I think I have found a possible solution: take the course at Ryerson. I have given my request in at York to do so, now it’s up to them to see if Ryerson’s course can be used for my degree. If that passes, I still have to get into the course. But, it’s looking good.
Then today, in the student centre at school (more like a cafe), there was a sign with “free psychic reading, three free questions”. I just had to find out if he knew when I would graduate. So, I lined up, and came up with three questions. Here’s how he answered them:
1-when do you see me graduating?
“I can’t see that far into the future. I see you being around school always, always taking more courses, and doing academic stuff”
2- Where do you see me living in a year’s time?
“I see you still living in the Toronto area”
3- What do you see in terms of my love life in the next year?
“I see two sweeties for you. One you already know, and one that you haven’t met yet.”
Ya, so while it was amusing, I can’t say he was very precise and accurate. Good thing it was free, although I’m not sure why he was there doing this for free. He should have warned me for what I had coming that night....
I got back the grade from that horrible exam. Good god, the worst grade ever. I got a 51%! No, actually my true grade was a 40.5%, but he added 10% to everyone’s mark (bell curve!!). It was even worse than I had expected, but it’s not disastrous. It’s only worth 25%, and just shows that I have to learn how to study better for Marketing. The class average was 64% after the bell curve.
Thank God my school week has ended! Next week is reading week for me. I won’t be resting though, I will be filming with my Communications group at Patrycja’s house. It should be fun though, they’re a great group of people. And I’ve been promised vodka and Polish food. That makes this Ukrainian boy very happy=)
