leap87 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have those in black! But the hot pink goes much better with my shirt! And it IS supposed to rain tomorrow.... I say wear flats. Or destroy your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygella Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 You will be fine ygella. Transition, moving away from home for the first time is always a diifcult and exciting time. You will fit right in. Just remember, do not allow yorself to be tempted by the many distractions surrounding you. Especially in the first term, you will need focus, discipline, time management skills and academics must be your only priority. Stay up to date with your lectures and assignments. If you run into problems, don't wait, go to counselling, find out the problem, there is normally peer tutoring and professional tutoring available. Best of luck! Enjoy the journey.... thanks for the advice , I'm sure there are many ups and downs ahead and I should make the most of it... LOL! I remember that! I too am glad you stuck around. I had a similar experience with n00b once and I'm still mad at him, haha. haha, n00b isn't around anymore is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caylynn Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 First day of O-Week tomorrow. And as I'm such a high school girl, it took me two hours to pick an outfit. And I still haven't decided on shoes. Hehe. Have fun tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caylynn Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 *sigh* My skin clearly does not like Edmonton. Stupid eczema on my hands again, and I did not have a single breakout the four years we were in Munich. Of course, my steroid cream from four years ago (which was the last time I had eczema) is long expired. Ah well, I have some OTC cream and some lovely Aveeno (I love Aveeno!) cream that says it is especially for eczema. If those don't do the trick, I'll venture out to a walk-in clinic tomorrow or Tuesday. Fun, fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister lives in AB too, didn't have eczema at all while she was in New Zealand for more than a year, then BOOM- it's back as soon as she sets foot on Cdn soil. She's convinced it has to do with food additives. Sometihng for you to think about, maybe, considering your intended program of study? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman101 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Tonight I have concluded that it IS possible to do a mtl to TO run in under 4 hrs. As long as its in the night, like what I just finished doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is....also early morning is good...less than 3 hrs to belleville, perhaps even 2:35 or less and then plenty of time to TO under 4 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as its in the night, like what I just finished doing. Wow, you are crazy man. Going 130-140 the majority of the 401, it still takes about 3.5 hours to get to Ottawa in good traffic (not getting caught behind big trucks). This is from a friend's perspective, of course On that note, I'm driving to Ottawa tomorrow (need to get up in...3 hours...sigh) to buy some stuff for my place and to do my student stuff like OSAP and such...then, driving back on the same day Gonna be a lot of driving And anyone hear this story? Makes me lol all the time (related to speeding, admission to guilt, posting on internet forums, and getting caught lol): http://www.globaltoronto.com/Vaughan+gets+driving+after+online+post+about+speeding/3381185/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really the roads that would keep me from going fast here in Canada - they just aren't built and maintained for speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's convinced it has to do with food additives. Sometihng for you to think about, maybe, considering your intended program of study? Interesting. I eat mostly unprocessed stuff (lots of fruits and vegetables, and organic meats) but I do enjoy some "less healthy" foods as well. Definitely something I'll try to track and see if I can find a correlation between certain foods and eczema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has an idea that it has to do possibly with milk hormones in Canada vs. NZ (we're both aware that there aren't that many hormones in cdn dairy, but I don't know what there actually is), or possibly variety of wheat. She has a number of other allergies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your diet is similar to that in Germany, it might be as simple as the different laundry detergent (and a chemical in the one you are currently using) that your body isn't happy with. Same thing if you using bounce-type dryer sheets or fabric softener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing if you using bounce-type dryer sheets or fabric softener. Yeah, I'm thinking it might be the laundry soap or the dryer sheets, even though I'm using ones made for people with sensitive skin/allergies. Fortunately, the OTC meds are keeping the eczema in check for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 YFortunately, the OTC meds are keeping the eczema in check for now. I feel for you, Caylynn. I've been dealing with back pain for 3 months now, and I swear, I never until now had an appreciation for people dealing with chronic pain/other health issues. I totally get it now. I'm going to be a way better doctor b/c of it too! I'm so glad for the voltaren... I hope to get off it soon and not have to take daily meds again for a long, long time.

deeman101 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 *Ahem, obviously there are people here that misunderstood what I said. I said it is possible to make it from mtl to TO in 4 hrs. Did I do it myself yesterday? Well I left my house in TO at 8:30 and I got to my apartment in mtl at 1:15. Use your arithmetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 but if we exclude in city driving and go from say ust as you leave island of Montreal until leavng the major hiway in TO, tat makes for another calculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't in Germany, where the cars and the roads are built for that kind of speed. It is really the roads that would keep me from going fast here in Canada - they just aren't built and maintained for speed. Theres definitely a few roads in ON that can support high speeds. The 400 and 407 come to mind. Obviously they're not at the level of the autobahn but those germans like to over-engineer their roads to the 9th degree.
