Reasons to let me into a class

illicit — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:27:54 +0000

Straight up i need physics 100/101 by the end of year one, and yes i intend on doing summer semester. my first semester i didn't take my physics, and now my second semester i hope to take 100, and summer take 101.

but ive been in position 4 waiting list since my registration, which was november end, and i just checked im at FIVE now, so since i need to fit these two physic courses into my first year, what are some good reasons to explain to the Dean that i need to get in cause some of my older peers said some of them are lenient if the right words/case are presented?

EDIT: other than i need to fit them into my year 1.

Exam Stress...How to deal with it all??

All these exams are giving me a major stress attack!:angry: how do you handle it?

smokers?

meesh — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 05:01:51 +0000

Are any of you on talksfu smokers?

i'm a smoker, and i really, really want to quit...

people keep giving me pains about how i'm killing myself, and i know that...but from my upbringing, everyone around me smoked...my family, my siblings, everyone...it was hard to get away from it.
i've tried to quit. and it did a toll on my body...for a weekend i could barely get out of bed. i couldn't do anything else but sleep. i couldn't do my schoolwork.

now that the holiday is coming around, i want to give it another shot. i actually have time to let my body adjust itself...
it'd be easier if someone else is going through the same thing?

....i want to be healthier!!

Boyfriend + Communication - How much per day?

bumpkin — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:01:41 +0000

Basically, I find it difficult to not talk to my boyfriend, as in, to let him have his own space sometimes. I wouldn't say I am clingy or anything like that. I text him about 2/3 times a day. But I do call quite often, and sometimes he says to me ''we'll talk later'' [and only because he has a lot of work to do, understandably] and some reason I take offence by it. I really don't know why at all. My only explanation is that I love him so deeply, and intensively. I just think perhaps I am overdoing it. I know that I should perhaps let him initiate things with me first [as he does anyway sometimes], and then I'll know when he WANTS to talk! Perhaps it's not even an issue, but I'm just intrigued as to how long people talk/communicate with boyfriend for?

I think also, it's because i live on residence and he lives in the city, so we don't get to see each other all of the time. Anyway, I am going to stay round his for a few days soon, so I can be close then. I just like to know he's near, [bizarre!].

So guys, how much per day do you talk/communicate with your boyfriends? & Any tips on me calming it down?

A few suggestions

This website was set up for students. So we should have more forums that are related to students. Maybe an employment forum, lots of students need to work to pay off those loans.

Secondly, maybe advertise this website more? Banners, booths, flyers etc.

I guess this is an alright place to post this...

Father : I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son : "I will choose my own bride!"
Father: "But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter."
Son : "Well, in that case...ok"

Next Father approaches Bill Gates.

Father: "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates: "But my daughter is too young to marry!"
Father: "But this young man is a vice-president of the
World Bank."
Bill Gates: "Ah, in that case...ok"

Finally Father goes to see the president of the World
Bank.

Father: "I have a young man to be recommended as a
vice-president."
President: "But I already have more vice- presidents
than I need!"
Father: "But this young man is Bill Gates's
son-in-law."
President: "Ah, in that case...ok"

This is how business is done!!

SFU #13 on BEST OVERALL UNIVERSITY

Tinana — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 05:04:36 +0000

For undergrad studies, does it really matter where you go for university? I'm planning to go into the Education faculty at SFU after I finish my Bachelors of Science. But then.. today, I took a look at the Macleans issue of University Rankings for 2006.

Best Overall:
1. Alberta
2. Waterloo
3. McGill
4. UBC
5. Toronto
...
...

13. Simon Fraser

Not like I don't have "school pride" but really... Why is Simon Fraser so bad?!?!
I'm so worried right now. I'm planning to transfer to UBC now. But is it necessary? Does it really matter which university you attend? How hard is it to transfer? Does anyone know the GPA roughly?

MARRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 05:34:19 +0000

Hi dude!
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth. Regards
