Work, School, and Other Things

Orientation at work went pretty well today - I'm one of two girls working in produce, and the other one seemed pretty nice, as did everyone else working there. Mostly students, either grade 12 or uni, like me - one of the other guys in produce is actually in the same orgo section as me this summer. I managed to knock over several crates of strawberries on my first day there, although we only had to toss two of the smaller packages, and apparently I am far from the first to knock something over in their first few days, so it's okay. Not sure what my hours are yet, have to call tomorrow to find out.

Last two grades came in - 76 in Bio, which is not as good as I was hoping for (wanted more like 80+), but the class average is about ten points lower than all of my other classes, so comparatively, it's actually a pretty decent mark. I also did better in Physics than I was expecting - 78 instead of somewhere more around 70, so it all kind of evens out in the end. I managed to pull off a final sessional average of 75, which is a B, and considering my 60 first term, pretty good. It's a good first-year average for applying for co-op with, and it means I may be eligible for the honours program, which might be a good thing to try for. Chem starts Monday - I'm both excited and nervous. I enjoyed organic chem when we did some of it second term, but I also know it has a reputation for being totally brutal, so I guess I'll see.

Debating if I want to do more sidequests in DDS or just plow on through to the final boss...the latter option is looking increasingly appealing. Still need to finish unpacking as well (I've got my 'random stuff' bag left to go)
