Not so easy, is it?

I KNOW, I KNOW, IT'S BEEN TOO LONG! I have soo much to catch everyone up on, and so I'm going to do it in little bits over the next couple days, because otherwise, I'll just never do it! The first thing I can think of that needs to be said, is that the main reason I haven't found time to update, is because the social life has continued...but the school life has finally hit and really picked up. It's still awesome, and I'm still loving every minute, but there's definitely more pressure and less time now. The thing is, I don't want to miss a thing here...so when it comes to updating my blog vs. experiencing something here in person, I've been choosing the here. Please forgive me ;)
Classes are, well, classes. I wouldn't go so far as to generalize them as "interesting", "hard", "great", or even "boring"...but they've all been a bit of each. Right now I'm taking Managerial Economics, Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting (FA), and Ethics. Each of these are 3 hours of class per week. We also have some soft skills courses sprinkled in, and a tutorial that is required 1.5 hours each week.
Homework so far has been a bit of a roller-coaster---either a ton, or not any at all. It's hard to get ahead because it always seems like we don't get the assignments on days that have "free" time. I'm getting a bit better at my time management with my course work, but not perfect yet. (I've actually signed up for a quick course on this topic!)
So back to the actual class - it's really a different experience than undergrad. We take every class with our stream (Go Stream C!!) and we have assigned seating, so I sit by the same people all day, every day (I love you Pam and Ruth!) I'm in the very back row at the top of the lecture theatre, which isn't my favorite, although it is nice for getting up to get water, use the loo (I'm so british) and just generally zone out when it gets boring. The teachers are surprisingly pretty young, and we have a lot of female teachers, which is a bit unexpected. They are from all over the place. Right now we have a Turk, Canadian, Italian (2 actually), and Norwegian (I think). The classes can be cool because everyone has their different view points and experiences...but right now we don't get too much of that b/c the courses are the basics that some people took in undergrad (and are therefore bored) and others have never had at all (me! so i leave every class feeling like i just ran a marathon trying to keep up with all the material covered!) I'm looking forward to the electives though, when people actually are in classes because they chose to be and are interested in the topic. I think it'll be really cool to see the class dynamics.
Anyway, that's probably a good enough post on classes. They're not the best parts of school anyway. :) More later!
