Honey & Turmeric

Might as well get the whinging out of the way first. So. As I may or may not have mentioned, I'm going to the University of Western Ontario in the fall for a degree in Biological and Medical Sciences, specifically in Pathology & Toxicology, since I aspire to be a forensic pathologist. If you're unfamiliar with the UWO, it has a very good reputation in relation to other Canadian universities, perhaps only topped by McGill University (bleargh -- too much french, thnxverymuch). The BMSc program is almost unique in Canada -- pathology programs at an undergraduate level are practically unheard of. So, I'm very excited about this program. But, as it turns out? This may be THE HARDEST UNDERGRAD PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY. I wouldn't know, I haven't experienced any of them, but the BMSc program is already quite stringent about admissions (it is the only program where entry into every single separate year is competitive). Added to that, Pathology & Toxicology has the highest admission cut-offs of any BMSc program. In order to be *competitive* (not a guarantee -- *competitive*) for entry into Year 3, I have to get at least a 95% average over all the core science and math courses. For entry into Year 4, the admission cut-off is 91%+ in Year 2 and 87%+. And I am quite understandably freaking out because my average in grade 12? Was 89%. And they say (you know, *they*) that your average is supposed to drop 13% from high school to university. Which means I am not only going to have to work my ass off, but that is *all* I am going to get to do. My life is basically going to be working, eating, working, sleeping (maybe), working, exercising, and working. And maybe that's true of any undergrad student, but I am literally not going to even have time to talk with people on the road between classes. Any functional relationships, romantic or platonic? Forget it. No time.
But -- you'll laugh -- I'm still trying to convince myself that I'll have time for 44 minutes a week to spend watching Prison Break. Oh, me. I crack myself up.
Who knew? I'm rather attached to what little semblance of a life I currently have.
So, in honour of the month or so of time I have left for hardcore time-wasting, I'm gonna do a meme. :D
