The first few official days at UBC have are already over and although I was feeling a little overwhelmed at the beginning of the weekend. I managed to get most things done! My course load is quite heavy, so balancing everything (life/school) is going to be a big challenge! Anyways a quick review of my course schedule and courses so far:

Mon, Wed, Fri:

Psychology 101: Nice class to have first thing in the morning, but up until now, just basic introductions… having trouble staying awake while completing the readings from the textbook though.

Physics 107: Love this class even though the workload is heavy. We have to read a   dense chapter a week, we have two pre-reading tests, one assignment due and clicker questions in class… not the mention exams.

Math 100: I like math, but at the moment we are just reviewing high school calculus

*lunch break 1 hour*

Chemistry 121: After taking two years off I started out completely lost in this class… not a good sign, fortunately the prof seems really organized and although I am having to do a lot of review hopefully I will be ok.

Computer Science 110: I love this course!!! It is a lot of fun and I feel like I have a lot to learn in it!

Tues, Thursday:

Labs and tutorials for Computer Science, Chem and Physics… These start this week which is kind of terrifying!

Anyways as a first year I am not entirely sure about how much homework I should be doing for each course, how fast paced they will end up being, how much material will be covered in class, and in how much detail I have to study everything. I suppose it depends on the course and I will find out once I get my first assignments/ quizzes back.

One last thing before I sign off… If you can bring a bike to UBC, I have no idea how I would get to my back to back classes in under 10 minutes without it! <3
