Mumbo Jumbo

University can just be mumbo jumbo flying straight at you. For some it may be the time of their life. For others another phase very similar to high school. I am at the crossroads in determining how I want to live the next 7 months here. Can you believe it a month has almost gone by? It'll be October by the end of the week.

There are the stresses of school. Stresses from peers. Stresses from achieving that grade. Stresses from living a healthy style. Stress can't be a big part of my life anymore and that's why I've decided that I have to stop having such high expectations of myself specfically in the academic aspect. I do encourage extra cirriculars and just getting to know everyone.

My experience so far here @ Queen's has been spectacular. I don't think it's only the fact that people in Canada are nice. Some people here are genuinely nice because they are like that. Perhaps that PSE did separate those who are more well rounded than others. Truthfully, I am most intimidated by a lot of people in all aspects. Some are diligent students such as my engineer floormate. It's amazing to see her up at 6 am doing work and be able to live a life beyond the walls of her room. On the other side of the spectrum there are those who just are able to PARTY HARD AND PLAY HARD. No jokes. 830 am lectures and they aren't even second guessing another drink.

A longer post for today. I felt like the need to share. Don't you ever wonder why the heck they schedule intramurals @ 1130 pm ???? Seriously, as much as I love basketball and I will still go- it's a tad late. To end, whatever stresses is bothering you, chuck it out the window. It's no longer high school where you have to make the grade to get into university- it's the real world now.
