And congrats CM. Let me warn you life at a good Uni is busy as hell and you should get used to being mediocre or below in atleast half your courses.

Firstly, oi!
Secondly it depends on the subject. Arts-based degrees have a much lighter workload. Work was about priority 4 or 5 for me at uni.
As for being mediocre or below I wouldn't even know what that felt like...

Instead I have to study for three tests and compete in this thing for a club I'm part of

Well you've got it easy, I've got three tests and three assignments.

(All be it one of those tests and one of those assignments is Stats 101.)

I disagree about the workload. Reading 10 pages for a tutorial!!!!!! So unfair

I wish I had to read just 10 pages. Try 4 hw assignments, 1 midterm and 1 essay due in the space of 3 days.

Finished off 1 hw, half of the second, and the essay. Gonna try finishing a third hw assigment right now then start studying for the midterm.

Missing the essential factor of only needing to do the reading for two tutorials a term. The one you present and the one you do your essay on (or one if you manage to combine them).

Reading 10 page long cases for each lecture is more annoying. Especially when you take into account the type of language judges use...

finally scored last weekend btw. Only 3 weeks left in the semester too, close call. Also probably needless to say undergrad

I was going to apply to Drexel's combined med but I heard that there is literally no social scene there at all . My friend's friend basically gave up a medical seat because he thought Drexel was that boring!

LOL, no social scene? Drexel is right in the middle of central Philly which is filled with shops (central district), restaurants and theaters (even a Bolly one). You can't have a livelier, crowded atmosphere in a uni. It also helps Upenn campus is 15 mins walk away so really, your friend probably got tired of all the noise everywhere

My crazy floor mates once stole a huge laundry trolley and we went around campus taking turns riding on it

I wanna get drunk and celebrate but giving how badly I did I'd feel guilty celebrating. Sigh.

Go get drunk ARay. For me. Then log onto PC. Maybe reveal your role in the Mafia thread

On the plus side...finally getting to play for the 'official' Uni team tomorrow, against the best side in the group. Hoping I get a chance to bowl and not screw up Then there is the match vs. HKU on 25th.
