At risk of contributing to the broken record, I bombed my first semester at college too. I didn't put forth any effort, didn't go to class, didn't study, and it came back to bite me in the ass.

But like everyone's said, it happens. You can rebound. I've picked up my GPA and have learned how to avoid class, studying, and effort without failing. Every person has to learn how to handle it individually, but it happens to tons of people. You'll be okay, just like most of them were.

And end-of-semester stress is going to be a constant throughout college. Once finals creep up, everyone goes into freak-out mode. It's okay if you join in. The worry is normal, but ultimately, it always ends up working out.

However, when it comes to ORGs, you're screwed. :P

... did we? *frightened* Did you hear about that fire and shit? Lol, it fucked up all the exam schedules.

Yeah, we had a discussion about it at Clubs like years ago. Along with SpunkeeMonkee who went to the same school. You worked at a computer lab or something?

I did hear about the fire and exam delays. :lbf Shit is always happening at that place. Every once in a while, I'll hear of another strike or rape.

LOL! Yes yes, I remember SpunkeeMonkee going. I remember I scribbled a note on a bench for her to find, right by Stedman.

I went to the Glendon campus :) Oui oui and all that. My degree is currently sitting on top of my DVD player, under a pile of other shit, cuz I'm klazzy like that and haven't framed it yet.

I'm at George Brown now. :ew Such a step down.

Oh yeah, you were from Glendon. Never been there. =/ Did Spunkee actually find the note? :P Whenever I'd see a tall model-esque black chick, I'd think it could be her.

I went to Schulich, so we kinda lived in our own world away from the rest of campus. Bunch of uptight elitist snobs, I'm glad I'm out of there. I've never framed my degree yet either, and it's on a shelf collecting dust. I didn't even buy that huge $80 official frame to go with it, though I've been meaning to.

In a few words... Glendon is small. People there speak English and French (or some combination of those two). There are 3000 students max, so everyone knows everyone and no one is safe from the gossip - it's our pastime. Glendon is full of women and gays, and is possibly one of the most gay-friendly places in the city. Fact.

Schulich... lol. I know a girl who went to Schulich! Don't know if she was in your group/class/whatever, she was in the MBA program. (Katie. And she is AWESOME, because her last name is the same name as a beer.)

I'll frame the thing one day. When I have money again.

That makes sense about Glendon. It's located somewhere downtown, right? Probably a lot safer than the main campus considering the neighbourhood it's in.

The MBA students pretty much took the same courses as us. Their program was just more condensed. So some of them were in my class, but I didn't know any Katie.

Yup, Bridal Path. Bayview and Lawrence East. Before it was a university, it was an estate owned by the Wood family who were wealthy landowners and etc etc etc etc *rambles about the history*.

One of the residence buildings is named after an OB/GYN. :wtf2 Of all the people to name it after.
