So I just checked my jobmine profile and it appears that my submission for change of sequence of work/study term has been approved. My old sequence was as follows (starting from my current term):

3A co-op – Spring 2007
3B study – Fall 2007
3B co-op – Winter 2008
4A study – Spring 2008
4A co-op – Fall 2008
4B study – Winter 2009.

But with my current sequence (alternating between work and study), it’s hectic moving around every couple of months, there’s little opportunity to settle and serve and it’s pretty hard getting to know people “deeply”. But the main benefit of sequence is that after a study term, I get to recharge a bit before entering another study term. I remember in first year, I finished my last final exam on Dec 20th and had about a week before I had to start school yet again. That was really tiring.

So my new work/study sequence is as follows:

3A co-op Spring 2007
3B study Fall 2007
4A study Winter 2008
3B co-op Spring 2008
4A co-op Fall 2008
4B study Winter 2009

So basically, I’ll be graduating at the same time -April 2009. The difference is only that I’ll be doing two study in a row, followed by two consecutive work terms.

I’m looking forward to it…but then I know when I get to the actual studying part, I probably will be regretting that I made the decision. Yup, and I really do hope I will find a placement that will take me for two terms.

As for my schedule next term, I only have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays AND I don’t have any 8:30 classes! WHOOPEEEEEEE:)

Here are the classes I”ll be taking:

Hlth 442 – Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases
Hlth 341 – Disease Processes
Hlth 433 – Advanced Research Methods
Hlth 472 – Alcohol and Drugs in Society
Engl 109 – Introduction to Academic Writing

4 hlth courses..the most I’ve taken in a term. I really wish I could’ve got into the English course I wanted: “The Use and Abuse of the English Language”. It’s mandatory that I take one English course before I graduate but I have to choose from a particular list….and of the few choices, that course seems to be the most interesting. But since first year, it’s always been full by the time it’s my enrollment period. SO ANNOYING. So yeah, I’m stuck with it.

Anyways, I’m looking forward to everything but studying again:)
