Hey wsup today ya'll? So I am here at douglas college today
and just today I think I have met about 10 Douglas college lifers.
They have spent like 3-4 years here and don't have anything really to show for it execpt
a bunch of 1 st year courses and half of them are not
even transferable. One dude who plays on my rugby team
over his 4 years here has a 1.7 grade point average to show
for his studies. What university is going to let him in with
that. HE would have to stay here for another 4 years and
average a 4.0 gpa just to bring his average up to a C+ average!!!
What is with that??? What I told him is that it would be better for him
to just go to a different college to get a fresh start on his gpa.
But he likes it here and he is on the Student Council.
MAn, I don't know but that sound wierd to me. But hey if it makes him happy
its all good I guess.
I hope I never end up as a Douglas College Lifer. I just
wonder if the goals of D.C lifers are to get a degree at a good university
or just to expand their mind by learning? I am not dissing the
2nd goal because I see its appeal...During my time here at D.C.
I have learned tons! I seriously never thought that learning would
be fun but it totally is. I have espically loved the stuff I
have learned in psychology. Also I like the stuff in geography.
BUut the deturant is the tests and work. So I do see why someone
could come here and not really care about the tests and work
and just go to classes. But oh well it is not for me.
I am hoping to transfer to UBC in January 2001 so wish me luck
because I really want to get in.
Keep on rockin in the free world
Love
Robdog
