February 8

is the date today and I have no idea why I chose today over any other day around it to post. Today I had my first midterm of the semester in Math 152. It went ok, but I made some silly mistakes.

Socially, university is great and I've made a few friends with whom I often hang and work out. Sometimes it gets a little too social and I find myself choosing to go produce nothing as opposed to working on some homework or studying. Of course, I'd have to say I prefer this than to not having anybody to do anything with. A lot of people think it is ridiculous to enjoy going to the gym so much, but I feel so content after a good work out.

It is difficult to get down to studying when there is no pressure, such as an upcoming exam or homework to do. I've been getting into friends a lot. I've watched the first 4 seasons since the start of the semester and I'm hooked. Unfortunately, my friend's collection ends at season 5. In return I've lent my Smallville to numerous people and it turns out I know someone who was in one of the football episodes. Due to a combination of people I've also gotten into Dream Theater. Incidentally, I went to HMV the other day to buy a DVD of theirs, but when I got it back home it was missing a disc so I have to return it.

Today there were tables set up in the AQ giving information about different majors and the requirements for them. I picked up brochures for majors in actuarial science, molecular biology & biochemistry, chemistry and statistics. It seems weird to be thinking so far ahead, but a lot of the prerequisites, I need to take now. General math, physics, chemistry, biology and economics pretty much leaves my options open to anything I would get a degree in so I'm all good for now; however, the sooner I choose, the fewer crap courses I can take. My only really crappy course now is BISC 102 where we are learning about evolution, taxonomy and ecosystems. Shoot me.

Anyhow, it's a friends birthday today, so I gtg.
