School Intensity of Durham Compared to Maxwell:
I just realised (on August 8th, 2020) That my 4 years at Maxwell Heights Secondary School, I only needed 30 courses to graduate (I ended up doing 32 since I took no spares).
Where my 3 year (on full coarse load) Computer Systems Technology program at Durham College needs 35 courses. So I have more courses to do in less time. No wonder why I am stressed >_<.
As well as me at my job at Wal-Mart being 7 hour shifts. Compared to the 6 hour school days at Maxwell (not including the odd day of an extra 1.5 hours of after school volunteering or Japan cultural exchange club).
Also, with Walmart having possibly a 2 hour class that day or having to work week-ends. Where I had no Job At Maxwell or Humber (or Harmony Heights & Sherwood).

This was insanely popular at Humber College during the 2017/2018 school year. They had liter paths on the floor showing there one of serval locations on campus where for blocks. Its ok.
There are also at Durham College too. But the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to really hurt them. Their founder also passed away in the early 2020s harming the business too
