The past two weeks have been a flurry of activity, if you will. I've been working close to a full-time schedule (despite my current scholastic obligations), trying to finish my last assignments of term, and trying not to be too incredibly boring for Edd, who is here visiting for a couple weeks - theoretically to look for jobs for his upcoming year in Canada. It's noteworthy that everybody who knows about Edd's plan to spend a year here in Toronto thinks that this is the trip where he moves over. It's not. Sadly.
I registered for summer school last week, so I'm officially obliged to spend my summer indoors, while poring over some article or another, or studying for an exam. I'm currently enrolled in 2.0 credits (4 courses over the May-August period), but I will likely drop one course once the time gets closer for classes to start, since I would like some free time after all... And I will still be working for money (not peanuts) over the summer, but hopefully at a much-reduced schedule and ideally anywhere else than where I currently work.
Time to go to work (again).

I regisstered for summer semester, too. This will be the school's official first summer semester - they just switched from a quick 6 week 'spring' semester to a full 12 week summer semester. I'm taking the two classes I need to boost my mark in: statistics and crim 103. I figure if I have to pay for it myself, I'm not going to be an over-achiever and add classes that student loans could pay for ,o)
I've thought about all the weight watching programs, but I feel that since I'm still going to be tempted to eat whole tubs of ice cream whenever I pass it in the grocery store I might as well just teach myself to make better choices. Healthy eating is turning into a habit now, so it's all good. All that remains is to teach myself to make time for some activity.
Knowing that other people are taking summer courses makes me feel a lot better! I'm actually ok with it, as long as I don't overload my schedule and end up hating life...
That being said, are either of you trying to work full-time and go to school full-time?
As a passing thought... The problem is, you can't get student loan funding if you're in school just part-time, so I have to register as a full-time student. However, if I get an awesome full-time summer job and can support myself financially (in sufficient time), I may drop down to part-time.
All very tentative at the moment. When does UBC begin summer school?
Here to post a thoroughly non-summer school related topic. You should post the links to websites of those other Kwantites on this site as well. On a passing memory I did remember you pitas one and blah, blah, blah. Also had don of Kwant AND Johnson come to turn off music of neighbor! Ha ha!
