Hi, guys!
There went my first day of class. This blogpost contains no tips or academic hacks, but rather the description of my first day of uni. I hope you will like such an unusual blog post!
Since I rented an apartment outside of campus, certain things were added to the list of my responsibilities. One of them was to buy a mattress, and the other - was to install internet. None of those tasks are done as of yet. I’m waiting for my mattress to come of Friday evening, and the Internet connection to be installed on Monday. That sucks.
Anyway…my day started from me waking up at home in Toronto because the night before I got very homesick and my dad picked me up for the night. At 1pm though, I was back at uni enjoying the Club Fest 2016. There was a huge amount of clubs and organisations having different purposes and themes. I signed up for a number of them, but I will make a decision as to where I’d like to stay after all general meeting pass. I’ll pick not more than 3 or 4 clubs though, because that way, I will be able to stay strongly committed to each of them. The majority clubs I joined were Medicine related, but there were 2 that were not. One of them was Health, Aging, and Society club, and I was interested to join because I’m pursuing such minor, and I want to be a bit more educated on those topics. The other club was Russian Speakers Association, and I joined that due to my Russian heritage.
After the club fair, I had no idea what to do, but it was ridiculously hot (~35 degrees celcius), and I decided to go into the building where my evening lecture will proceed (it’s the MedSchool building). While playing on my laptop, an outline for my Health, Aging, and Society club came out, and after I read it, I went to the Campus Store to buy the appropriate book. After spending half an hour in line, I bought my book and decided to visit one of the libraries to study my pre-class Chemistry Modules there. Time flew super fast, and it was already 5pm, which meant that I had to go to the building of my lecture, again. Class had to start at 5:30pm, and on my way to the lecture haul, I got some water, coffee, and a caramel tart, which was apparently my lunch, since by that time I haven’t eaten for 5 hours. I also called my boyfriend, and he instantly made me happy as he reminded me of his visit tomorrow. There was only one lecture this day (General Chemistry), due to the absence of labs and tutorials, which would usually fill up my Wednesdays.
I sat on the first row in my lecture hall, and there was approximately 800 people there. I was sitting with a few lovely girls, and the class went super fast, since the professor (who was also lovely) just talked about the course outline and expectations. I read this outline before class though, so I knew what to expect. After the class finished, I came home and began fulfilling my to-do list. I just cooked some chicken soup for dinner, showered, cleaned up a little, filled up the planner, and watched some pre-loaded Grey’s Anatomy episodes.

Tomorrow (Thursday), I’m expecting a much more overwhelming day, since I’ll be on campus from 9am to 10pm. In that amount of time I’ll have 4 lectures, as well as a huge break in between them (due to the absence of labs and tutorials in the first week), which I will spend with my boyfriend, and prepping for future lectures. On Friday, I will just have 1 biology lecture, and after my mattress will arrive, I’m off to Toronto for the weekend!
