My Schedule

I am one of those slow morning people, so I normally get up, have a long shower, and then go to breakfast to get whatever is left. Usually I get kicked off my table for taking too long, then go back to house to do a quick room clean, and run to class. I’m often a minute late. Bad habits are hard to kick.

I enjoy being busy, so for the last two years I have had relatively full course loads with challenging subjects. My favorite courses this year were my three A.P courses in European history, Human Geography, and English Literature. This is because, though many of the topics in these classes where familiar to me, they dealt with them in much more detail and in a broader scale. My least favorite courses were math and calculus, but they are a necessary evil if you want to go to business school.

Break time is a time to grab some cookies and milk with friends and then realize, once again, that you have three minutes to get to class.

Lunch is normally very good. Then it’s run back to the house and to class again (I get lots of exercise before sport even begins). If I have the energy to go to tutorial, I’ll go, but normally I go back to my house for a quick break before sports or fine art. If you’re a performer, then Shawnigan is great. I would strongly suggest Drama, debate or film to show your dramatic side. My sport is rowing, which is a lot of hard work and commitment -- and early mornings -- but has an inexplicable appeal to it. Once you get off the water, exhausted after a hard workout, you feel satisfied with yourself for being able to push through it.

Then a hearty dinner, a tedious prep time, a break to socialize, grab a burger at the Stag Cafe, or just watch some TV in the common room. Then sleep . . . precious sleep.
