Laurier Pictures

The Science Building Courtyard where I spent alot of time in 1st year and during ICE in third year. Yes, those are real trees inside the building, and yes.. the leaves do fall... Its quite annoying, really.

The Schlegal Centre Atrium where I have spent countless hours throughout my university life in group meetings.

A testament to the school's ghettoness... should be the Frank C. Peters building, where I've had the majority of classes. It LOOKS nice, but don't let that entranceway deceive you, the rest of the building looks quite old and abused. Especially the tierred-seatting in a square panel styled classrooms.


The letters WLU tacked on the side of the building. I have never noticed it until now. That's so random, its like someone decided that people passing by would need a reminder that this is indeed Wilfrid Laurier University :S

The entrace to the business buildings.

Laurier... one last time

I know I always say how crappy Laurier is and how ghetto the school is, but after 4 years of sweat and sleepless nights (not ALL do to procrastination)... I think that I will really miss it. Sure, some buildings are old and run down and some professors were not that great... alot of them actually. But I still think that I had a great experience, especially all the people I have met. I would say that I'm a very different person than the one that stepped into the Peters building back in first year. Many things have changed... but I'm still me :) And to the Laurier people who read this... Thanks for making my experience a great one :D I have lots of great memories... bad ones too (bba admin office...ops2 final :S, etc) Thanks!!!

...anyways... enough of the nostalgia

Ok, so being the loser that I am, (I guess by indirect association that means you too Roberta) I took many pictures of Laurier in a final walk around of the school. We tried to 'discover' the hidden passage ways of school, tho I must say that every place that looked remotely mysterious or interesting was locked :( ... as expected of Laurier I guess. We walked around all the different faculty buildings and I must say that there is a different type of flavour from one building to the next. There strange music going on in the music building and it felt suspenseful. Plus all the music students kept staring at us, like they KNEW we didn't belong. My computer science friend once told me that when he stepped into our business building he felt completely alien and that everyone would turn around and stare at him as if they knew he was in a foreign place. So maybe that feeling isn't unique to the music building. I must say the music building/social work building looked really old and it was such a weird maze. And I was really impressed with upper floors of the Bricker Building (Arts and Math) ... These places I have never been to in 4 years and only venture on my last day. Kinda sad I guess, yet I don't really feel that I've missed out by not going to these building. I think I will miss Laurier... not the school work, but the people...

I'll post up some pics later

Last Hurdle

The only thing standing between me and graduation is a Business to Business marketing final. Just ONE final, I've had all this time to study for it, so in theory, I should be very well prepared. Except this is a case exam and there's 18 chapters of material to cover and I feel like I know nothing. :( But, compared to other exams, I've already studied way in advance, yet I don't remember anything and I'm not exagerrating. By 5:00pm today, I will be done my undergraduate life forever, no matter how well I do on this exam. Good or bad, it will be done. So, I guess I just have to sit through 3 hours and hope that I know something so I can scribble it down in the notebook. :S

On the plus side, Roberta was telling me that for an mba, they only look at my 4th year marks and need a B- or B. That means I actually have a chance to get into a decent school ... although that is 3-5 years down the road for me.

Lacking Interest

So I have ONE exam... just one yet I lack the interest to want to study for it. Business to business marketing.. why are you so boring?! and what did I do to deserve that?? :( There's 18 chapters to read for our case exam... and there's even something about the color of the pages in the textbook that make me want to stop reading it. I just want this exam to be over. But then that will mean that school is done too. forever.

But then that also means I can watch drama again :) Though watching Ichi Littoru no Namida has ruined me for all drama ... Roberta and I haven't watched a drama since that after powering through other stuff like Nobuta wo Produce. We're usually so enthusiastic about drama but now we hesitate and can't move on. It was just THAT good. It's like we know nothing can top it, or something random like that.

So yesterday, I'm walking with Roberta to Sobey's at night and she makes a comment that the moon is really nice since it was a clear night. Then I told her that I was excited to see the moon in Japan... you know, looking at the same thing from a different place with a different feeling. And then... she laughed at me... and kept laughing... for two blocks. Then the laughing turned into mocking... hahaha... It didn't sound that ridiculous at the time, when I thought it o_O

Been a long time..

The weather is cold today.
I had eggs for breakfast. They were so so.

;)

Haven't posted in a while... not much has happened, yet at the same time alot has happened. I guess that's weird... but school is ALMOST over, just have one exam left! It's kind of weird I guess, I keep thinking this is the last time.... that i'll have class, study in the atrium, see so and so, etc. It's kind of sad, but at the same time, I'm happy that I'm finally done!! 4 years seems like forever but it also seems like 1st yr was yesterday. I don't know, what's with the nostalgic mood? :S

Oh, about going to Japan... I talked to my cousin today... and I just thought it was touching what he said:
"and kinda worry since even if u called for help, it will take me 15 hrs to save u "

I guess school being over and going to Japan is becoming a more concrete reality ! ~
