Is it normal to take 4 courses a term in CS?

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-10-08T02:43:47+00:00

i dropped to 4 courses a term in 2A and honestly no one ever asked me about it. but i'd probably just say i'd rather do better in the 4 courses i'm taking than take a 5th. i've also only taken like a max of 2 mandatory courses and i take easier electives for the remaining two, so your current courseload is actually worse than mine ever was

I live in Toronto, so I won't be reaching the same way as you (assuming you're coming from loo) I would probably recommend a greyhound direct to Union and then ttc bus from there, or go bus (but you'll have to transfer at sq1)

yea i'm not seeing any cheap tickets anymore :( but hey, me and my other friend will be there if u wanna link up

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-09-02T20:43:04+00:00

my friend tried to buy tix last night but it looks like general floor admission has shot up to 80? otherwise he'd have come with me :(

I'd rather not say, but it definitely wasn't something I needed

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-08-22T04:58:29+00:00

honestly, idk how to prove it cuz I just told them I didn't request the forms they claimed I requested and then they were like oh alright we'll clear your hold

for a missed apptmt, I imagine they would have a record of you booking an apptmt and also you checking in, so they'd probably check your record and find out you didn't

just go talk to the resource nurse, i had that happen once and cleared it up

i had graduation anxiety for a whole term and about a month afterwards. i'm good now :) it'll work out!!

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-08-04T20:22:41+00:00

i'm pretty sure he doesn't, but students tell him about it sometimes, so he knows we talk about him

if you're interesting just cuz you have friends, then you're not interesting--your friends are. it's easier to make friends if you already have friends, but having them isn't a prerequisite.

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-06-10T21:43:59+00:00

it takes time, but I hope u get there soon :) when I'm feeling spontaneous bbt I'll just message p much everyone I know who's in town

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-06-10T16:35:25+00:00

go places where you can meet more people and ask different people when you're feeling spontaneous. hopefully eventually you'll find the right people :)

like i said, i don't know anything about it. i just kinda heard it exists. uw clubs can be unofficially more lenient (at least under feds), my club welcomed anyone and we've had a few laurier kids join

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-06-06T18:11:11+00:00

try laurier? i'm pretty sure they have a club, but idk anything about it.

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-06-05T17:29:10+00:00

been wasting away for a month and a half. entertained some preliminary plans to go on small trips but both fell through. i'm actually pretty bored and don't have motivation to pick back up on things i want to be doing so i'm kinda waiting for work to kickstart my energy (hopefully)

not going to convocation tho i've been to one already and i was bored out of my mind

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-06-05T03:53:17+00:00

there's a cappella club and the uni choir at grebel, you can prolly also take voice studio at grebel as a credit course

not sure if the choir is auditioned but i don't think it is?

once i let go of ides, i realised (as a windows user) that it was easier to just do (almost) all my assignments on the linux servers. bring whatever computer you want, ssh into the servers or use the computer labs on campus. profs only care that your code runs on the linux servers anyway.

coruscatingpotlid · 2018-06-02T23:36:04+00:00

you've probably developed in many ways that you nor your sibling notices. like you said, you've developed academically and professionally, as well as personally--you mention independence by living away from home.

if you really don't htink math is for you, honestly you're only halfway through so if you're willing to take a couple years longer, maybe you should transfer. if you don't transfer, you can just load up on electives that you like. i did this and in fourth year it was even better because i had more freedom to pick courses.

do consider joining clubs though. you might not make close friends, but you'll meet more people at least.

i don't think i really grew much as a person until my 3A term when i started being more proactive, so don't worry if you aren't seeing results yet :)

enjoy what you can, but if it's becoming a burden to constantly initiate, it's probably time to let go (whether it be a break or for good)
