9 hrs and 30 mins before first day of CLASS

Yup. It's looming in front of me like a fog of festering mosquitoes. Somehow, that can make sense.

I feel apprehensive, I suppose. Or, I feel calm. What I almost want to feel but not get make it there is apathy. It is unfortunate.

Anyway, I don't have most of my textbooks - need to get them fast. Need to opt out of insurance. Need to do laundry. Need to find my iPod plug thingie - or find out where it is so I can feel whichever way about it when I know.

But all in all, uni life is going okay so far. =)
Hope it lasts.

Waterloo. First look.

Well, this is indeed a strange experience. my roommate already refers to our dorm as home after 1 day of existence here... I STILL can't imagine that I will be living here for 8 months consecutively and 5 yrs in total... shocking. This place feels like camp, as my roommate first put it... and as time went on I begin to feel a bit of china camp in this place... altho the shower stalls are MUCH better XD

Caf - same food every day - I know I will get sick of it soon, very soon. thanks lisa for the not-so-comforting heads up =P
Washrooms - passable. they have cheap toilette paper... but usually there's not many ppl in there (or maybe cuz iz frosh week) but hopefully it stays as quiet (whenever I go to shower/etc) during the year
Room - big. 3 windows. am on the edge of a quad so I see in 3 directions clearly and am VERY close to all those lovely buildings =P
Lounge - quite nice - altho WAY more active during the wee hours of the night than during the day ... >.> hopefully thaz just frosh
Rez - pretty good. I find it better than REV (even tho they get lamps and full size mirrors) because their halls/rooms feel so motel-like (not even hotel-like =P)

The People - some are kindred spirits, some are not. that's to be expected. but there seemed to be a similar person to almost every person I've known in HS... SCARRRY... the world doesnt vary that much, I guess.

The Campus - Well... I've only seen the north of UW and a section of WLU... UW is better - feels more like a school instead of a couple of buildings along the side of a main road >.> ... the MC/DC buildings are kewl - wOOp.

We shall see what happens during the school year. Am scared of calc/alg... also freaked about biz (the presentation they gave was startling... meh XD) ... but generally dont feel too bad - even tho I feel I shud... maybe this is a bad sign... we'll see what happens XD

Overall I like my place. it's quite nice ... altho frosh is a bit over the top, and I'm just too antisocial for those events XD

Anyway, gonna have my ELPE in 2 hours... hope I pass.
