    stuck in the middle with PSL302…

    February 5, 2002

    I want to die right now. I’m stuck between whether to drop my PSL302 course or stick with it. My mark stands at a pathetic 53% at the moment. If I drop it, i’m left with the option of taking it in summer school which means stay in toronto (i’m from way out of town), waste more money, let go of a well paying summer job and also the possibility of going to Europe. Or, I take the course in my 4th year or the summer after 4th year or totally drop the idea of getting a human bio specialist. If I don’t drop it, chances are I won’t make a 70% and my GPA will be at a all time low which will not impress MBA schools or any graduate schools. If you were me, what would you do? Part of me wants to drop the course but if I do, will I do better in my other courses because I have less work or will they still suffer? Are summer courses that much easier as people say they are? HELP!

    can you write your way out of a knuckle sandwich?

    November 29, 2001

    I’m in my first year & taking humanities/social sciences (no decisions re:majors tho)..and I’m really interested in taking some creative writing courses..but u of t seems to have an extreme defecit of them! I am not really interested in majoring in English, but I’d still love to do some creative work…is it possible to take courses at other universities (say, like..YORK..i know, the enemy) and earn credits towards a u of t degree?

    a question as old as time

    May 24, 2001

    this is probably a simple question but it has beeen on my mind of late. If I am accepted to one college does that mean that I am only limited to courses in that college or can I attend courses offered in other colleges.

    does it make any difference that we’re talking about religion class?

    December 7, 2000

    Theres this amazing guy in my Religion class. I think he is really amazing- aesthetically. I’ve talked to him and he is really approachable, really easy to talk to. I want to go for him, problem is a friend of mine thinks he might be gay. I know it’s a stereotype that good looking guys with great personalities are homosexual. I can’t ask him because I don’t know him well enough to do so, what do I do?
