    I'm already in trouble with my homework - I just can't understand those Russian listening comprehension exercises! Clay buildings and feeding monkeys, clearly not my piece of cake, at least not in Russian

    I went back today, and I still couldn't find it. I'm still not sure which entrance you're talking about, so I took pictures of all the entrances.

    So, the deed is done... No coming back.

    I have officially applied and got accepted by both of the courses so now I am doing two part-time courses simultaneously. With the second one, they caused me a little trouble because they offer it only after people complete the other course I am doing but after the assessment test and interview, they agreed to let me take it. So, all is good!

    Next eight months will be looooonnnggg but I am looking forward to it all.

    Don't worry Scher, teachers should already know by now that students make fun of them! It's a normal process in human nature!
    As a side note, I have a great relationship with almost all my teachers. We even greet each other and smile to each other when we meet at different crossroads of life

    Congrats Scher!!

    I've officially had three days of class now. My schedule is awful, but I think I'm going to like my classes. My nutrition class is fun so far- lots of Biochemistry!!

    How's everyone else doing?
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Those are the entrances - take either the main one from saint George, or the one from Huron, as there are two rooms - walk in, take 5 steps to the left from St. George, or from the right from Huron, turn 180 degrees, and proceed through the door.

    ^ You told me that the rooms were on the ground floor. That's not the ground floor . No wonder I was confused.

    I've been in those rooms. There are always so many people in there.

    Hmm - they were empty all summer - and that is the ground floor - or at least, it should be, as it is the floor where the entrances are. If you want quieter, better to just go to a high floor in Robarts and get lost amongst the tables scattered over the stacks - or Gerstein isn't bad, if you can stomach the BO of the engineering students (snicker). The reading rooms at Sidney Smith though should be less busy around 8:00.

    No, that's the first floor. The ground floor is where the cafeteria (and Tim Hortons) is located.

    I usually don't go to the rooms after 8PM. I'd prefer not to stay that late on campus. It takes me 75-90 minutes to get home using the TTC, so I usually just leave as soon as my classes are over.

    Don't forget without those engineering students your areas of study probably wouldn't be around.

    Yeah, me too! I like most of my teachers and they seem to like me too, even if I do ask too many questions sometimes

    Today was an awful day, but mostly because I'm ill. Well, my two classes were the most boring I've got, which didn't help... But I survived! Now I'll just have to write an essay or two today and then I can spend tomorrow almost entirely in bed, which should do me some good
