Well, it looks like the hell that ROSI puts us through every year continues to rage on as students continue to fight for course enrollment! Take a look at what was buzzing on Twitter this week…

Ahhhh, it’s that time of the year  that we love to hate and hate to love…the dreaded/beloved course selections. I don’t know about you but I’m on the love side. There’ s nothing like planning a fresh new academic year. It’s just so full of hope, optimism, and excitement…free of the crushing weight of readings, labs, exams, and tutorials. It’s the calm before the storm and yes, I love to savour every moment of it.

Unfortunately, ROSI wasn’t so kind to me this year. I’m in my final year of undergraduate studies and got the late 10 AM enrollment time…leaving me on waitlists for courses that I desperately want to take. But alas, that is the life of a U of T student.

Read what other students are tweeting about course enrollment…some were successful, others, well, not so much!

As expected, the G20 has taken over the Twittersphere the past week with users from all ages and walks of life, tweeting about the happenings downtown. Some (okay many) expressed their displeasure and outrage of what went down during the G20, provided live updates, and others even used Twitter to organize protests. So…where were you during the G20 weekend? Did you catch any of the protests? Were you a protester yourself? Let us know!

So you’d think with it being summer and all, our dear old campus would be pretty dead and quiet. Not so, my dear friends! This week, St. George campus was buzzing with excitement yet again. I mean, between the G20 madness, tornado warnings, earthquakes, and exams…I would say it was damn eventful week!!

Did you run into trouble with this whole G20 hoopulah? Where were you when the earthquake struck? Did you survive the dreaded exam period? Check out what some other students have to say about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah it’s summer time and if you’re like me at all, you want to push the thought of school out of your head as much as possible. But the reality is that the campus has been buzzing with activity in the past week especially as the dreaded G20 fast approaches and a new batch of graduates attended convocation. Take a look at what some students are saying on Twitter…

** Use the hashtag #UofT and you might just be featured on our weekly OH on Twitter feature!

Is it safe for me to say that this  pretty much sums up the life of every student out there right now?

I think so.

Good luck to everyone on their final exams! We’re almost there!
