O.k. so I won't be making a habit of this, I promise. But I've allready got a locker for the pool, my student handbook, transferred all my dates into said book, I've walked over the university twice now making sure I know where my classes are, where the gym/pool is, where the Macintosh lab (which was locked!!!) is and found out where all the food places, which i'll never eat at, are located. So that was interesting. I've also found out that even though the University of Lethbridge is 90% concrete a cell phone will still work on the lower levels, although it may cut in and out. I learned this b/c all day I've been trying to hook up with other people that I know that are going to the university so that I can figure out who I'm going to be able to hang out with.
The reason I'm trying to figure out everyone else's schedules is because I currently have two roomates. The one works an evening shift and usually ends up staying awake till 3 or 4 before going to bed, waking up at noon, and going to work. The other works mornings and so we can hang out more now that I'm in the U. But he's moving out at the end of the month and another buddy of mine is moving in who is also on an evening shift. What does this mean? Likely that for the most part if I'm awake at home they won't be, or they'll be at work. so that means that for hanging out I'm going to have to look outward in order to find that.
But yes ,thus far the impression is that I think i'm going to like this University thing, my only need now is to win the lottery so that I can just be a full time student! That would be the life!!!

Hey man - I was in a fairly similar situation to you a year ago - going to school for the first time after working, not full time, but still working, not really being positive of what I wanted to take, and being a little unsure of what to expect. I soon adjusted and actually really enjoy uni. Today was my first day of classes as well, it was good, but weird and will take some adjusting after being at Kinasao all summer. And I'm sure that you'll get into the swing of things and have a great time. My advice: take in the extras that uni offers such as guest lectures in fields of you interest, join intramural teams, etc. There's a lot more that goes on at uni than just classes!
