Tania, I'm in the process of applying for graduate school and for my research proposal. I'm currently contacting all the professors I would possibly like to do research with, and getting them to send me more information about their labs and what I might expect to be doing if I were to work for them. So far, I've got some ideas and now I just need to start working on my NSERC application for reals.

We have showers, too. With how much time I've been able to spend in the lab recently, I'm starting to think that it'll take me approximately seven years to finish my PhD. Maybe I'll just grab a master's and hit the road (I'll probably end up grabbing the master's and staying, because I want to end up with four degrees, damnit!).
The Cheesinator:
I'm in Life Sciences at the University of Toronto (living at home, yeah!), and all the science and calculus courses are suspiciously easy. All stuff I learned in high school...but I figure the shit will hit the fan sooner or later. Going for a Honours B.Sc in Materials Science somewhere down the line, don't want to be a doctor of medicines.
On a side note, I find it a little ridiculous that some Arts students have 13 hours of school per week. I have 22, and I know that engineering students have upwards of 30.
supersheep:
yeah in my final year of my history degree i had five contact hours a week
this year (for my masters) i'm back up to about seven

I'm assuming you have to take Calc I and Calc II for Life Sciences, Calc I is a repeat of highschool until the last few weeks, but calc II gets very difficult very quickly. Can't say on the sciences because I'm an econ student, but I bet they'll get hard, the uni is just trying to make sure everyone is on the same page because some people went to crappy high schools. And living at home make sure you make some good friends in rez so you can crash on their couches/floors after the serious party nights, the best way to meet new people is getting hammered at rez parties.
First and second year for engineering students is just an attempt to fail out those that can't handle an insane workload, U of T and uOttawa are particularly rough on their engineers.
