Back at Memorial University after the
winter break.
We caught up with Chris, Rowan, Sierra and Iris
about what they did over the holidays and what
they're going to do this semester, on this
week's The New Class.
So what a, so how were the grades?
Good, ok.
It could have been better, if I wanted to
be better but don't we always. But it
was alright, like it was really good.
You know about the subject I told you that I'm going to
bomb, I did really well in that
and the subject that I thought I did well, I bombed.
This is horrible, but yeah.
I am signed up for the CFA in addition to the
coursework and that's a lot of work
apart from my work and MUN, so I'm
still trying like to balance all of it
together. I went for the holiday hosting
program, it's part, like with the
international office. So they paired
international students who weren't going
back home with a Canadian family who
was hosting them. I think I had the nicest
family. There like so sweet. She loves
birds, love to trek, love to hike, so I'm going
Gros Morne next year with them.
This message is going to be a little
more challenging because my wife is
applying to do her masters at
University of Toronto, York and MUN.
Ah and I think she's got a good chance
at the Toronto one, so on top of doing
school I also have to deal
with the possibility of like moving
to Toronto in like June.
So i'm dealing with like the
workload of school and working I'm back
at MUN DISC, I still got my other job and I
applied for a couple other jobs
at MUN through MUCEP and then yeah and
moving so. This is my first time ever doing an
online course I'm doing like sociology
of health online, so that's been like an
interesting learning curve but I've
actually been enjoying it,
where I kind of get to learn almost at
my own pace and kind of just like read the
book and learn everything. Grades there actually
pretty good a lot better than I expected
them to be. In high school your kind of
like working really, really hard for
those eighties and nineties. In university
your kinda just working really, really hard
for the sixties and seventies. So it's
like, it's um, I kind of expected my grades
to go down, so I was like of like, ambivalent by the
end of it. I had a 75 average so it
wasn't terrible, it wasn't great
I'd like to get into the eighties
probably not this semester,
second year. But yeah I'd like to get
eighties but I think it's a good start
honestly especially considering all of
stuff to go through first semester. If I
could give any advice to any kid that's
like watching these videos you know
should I go to Memorial
because of the terrible weather, I
recommend that if you have to fly home
book your flight date for the last day
because then your exams, if they get
cancelled that day you can do them on a
makeup day so they don't get transferred
over to January because that entire
two weeks you're just worrying about
like ah man am I going to pass my
calculus exam. I think i'm going to do
second year res. I'm going to see if I
can apply to be an RA because you
get room free which is kind of nice, but also
I really wanna help the kids because I
have a friend who's an RA and he really
helped me out my first year, kinda just
like figuring out direction and stuff and
I kind of want to be that influence on
another terrified first-year. Like I have
joined it, like it's called innovation
challenge and I was chose to their
presentation and finals. It's about a
business idea and it gave you 25 hundred
dollars if you win the first place. Is
that is that run by the business
faculty? Yes, I think so. It is business
faculty, Genesis Centre and launchpad.
Actually it, I wish I had a team
because for now I am one man army.
My ideas about a business is about app
application. That is not easy for it a
business student to develop an
app so I want to form a team.
It would be perfect if my team mate
would be a student majoring in computer
science so we can do the program developer.
And my app is about, my name is digitized
apparel. Is for you to memorize and
organize all your clothings. I don't know
whether it happened to you but it always
happen to me
the problem is you, you have always to
figure out what to wear for tomorrow.
Like maybe there's a big event like
birthday party, like graduations you don't
know what to wear, so we have to stand
right in front of your wardrobe and start
deciding what to wear and after you have
decided your wardrobe is messed up
because you dig into it and rummage
your wardrobe. So what our application do
is to digitize your wardrobe.
It should photo every piece of clothing
and also categorized them in terms of
seaons and generals. So this is about
idea
a general idea I have. I want to
make it out, so I need the help of an app
developer.
