lol I'm hoping he does. Yeah I think he's mentioned that to me before, it sounded interesting at the time but I forget what it is now. I didn't choose to do any science in my senior high school year, my last science lesson would have been when I was 16. I'm interested in all the universe and genetics stuff but I'm more of an Englishy type person.

i'm a history/english type but for some reason i took physics my senior year. i didn't need it for anything, and it was a somewhat difficult class for me. i think i took it because nick was and because of the physics field trip to cedar point (an amusement park). lol well, i had many more friends than just nick in the class, so that was good too.

I was never bad at science, but by senior year there were just other things I was more interested in.

Same for me, I always had higher marks in math and science because once you learn the equation or formula you only need to apply it, there's no real thinking involved (at least not at the high school level, I know it gets more complicated after that). I thought literature and social sciences presented more of a challenge because there's no clear cut answer or things to learn by heart, you really need to think it through and that's what I found the most attractive about it.

I have to take science too. I took Chem, was lost the first class. Daniel helped me for 2 hours, I was still confused so I dropped it. i'm taking Bio next semester. I think i'll enjoy it a lot more.

The only thing that I'm not happy about, is that I have to go to our farther campus for the class. It shouldn't be too bad because the shuttle bus only takes 20 minutes, and it's my only class on those days.

i have a somewhat late lab for it on a day i don't have normal class which makes me not able to work those days. but since the minimum wage is going up by like $1.50 an hour, losing 3 hours a week won't kill me

Phew, I finally had the courage to go to the mall last night and got quite a bit of shopping done in just over an hour. I think I'll be able to finish my Christmas shopping this weekend in Montreal.

I'm almost done too! I just need to buy one more gift for Syl (I'm getting him one of those key chain watches), and something for my in-laws (probably a bottle of champagne to drink together on Christmas Eve). Yay!
