I think that one of the major themes of this year is BALANCE.
It’s something that has been mentioned many times during Frosh and also something that I have personally been thinking about. There is this overwhelming need to get invovled and continue all the great things that I was invovled in during high school. There is no shortage of oppurtunites and clubs and events here at UBC but at the same time it’s so easy to get lost in everything thats going on.
The first week of school was a breeze. Monday- Labour Day, Tuesday- Imagine Day Weds, Thurs, Fri – classes. For me most of these classes were super chill full of course outlines and grading schemes.
But now, into my second week, I am overwhelmed by all the readings that I have to complete and the assignments that follow. School is moving at such a fast pace and it’s mostly a self-directed approach to learning.
I need to actually stay on top of my readings and make notes on them. Write down any questions that I can ask during class and stop procrastinating. I’ll let you know at the end of the weekend if I get caught up.
School is overwhelming. I’m a keener student so I love talking in class and I’m looking forward to personally meeting all of my professeurs. They are there to help so I am going to try and take full advantage of that.
