Word of advice, if you're gonna fail or pull a D in a course, just drop it unless your GPA can take the hit. Those two F's dragged me down like nothing else.

BTW, if you're taking a Calculus class and the professor cannot speak English, drop it immediately. f'ing UofC....

I did the same thing (Minus Mount Royal). Calculus and Linear Algebra killed me my first semester when I didn't realize that I had to actually do some work at University. I was ridiculously close to being on academic probation, and my GPA still suffers.
