I am so. freaking. bored. Okay, actually, that's a complete lie. There's something extremely liberating and mature about walking around campus alone, with a Toronto Star in hand.

So anyway, I haven't really talked much about how my first week at university's been. Frankly, it's not that much different from high school so far; although I can tell you that it's a hell of a lot more organized, which makes it easier for me to get ahead because I know what we'll be doing from now right up until next April. Huzzah, maybe this university thing isn't so hard after all.

First things first, I have to keep an eye out for the theatre BFA program openings/application deadlines, because if I don't get into that program, my 5 year plan would be completely shot; My hopes of becoming a Broadway star dashed!! Is it sad that Jai Rodriguez actually makes me want to get into theatre? Okay, that's also a complete lie, lol. But if I get to meet people like him, it can't hurt, right?

Out of all my courses, I'm the most intimidated by my "Literature and Theory" class...I swear, half of the stuff my prof was talking about yesterday went right over my head...all this stuff about Marxism, Utilitarianism, Romanticism, erudition, etc etc...Apparently, we'll start to understand in about 6-8 weeks. The funny thing is that everybody in the class is good at English, whereas, in high school, it was maybe one or two people who actually knew what they were doing. It's a completely whole new level of higher thinking...and I guess it's nice to share ideas with people who actually know what I'm talking about.

My books were hella expensive: almost $600...and you can't return any of the packaged ones if you've opened the package, so yesterday, when I was cracking open my biology textbook, it felt like a momentous milestone of some kind... "no turning back!!"

It's also very, very weird that I keep bumping into Milliken people unintentionally. I mean, I intentionally hang out with Sarah, Candice, Shaun, Fiona, and Liza, but here's the long list of people I bumped into: Juilee, Nadia, Tracy Law, Diana, Anita, Judy Yan, Sula, Jyoti, Shawn, Khalid, and I literally bumped into Abidah, but I'm not sure if it was Abidah, so maybe that doesn't count.

I made the mistake once of waving to someone who looked like Rohini...it was exactly the way it was depicted in Ellen Degeneres' "Here and Now":
Me (to Sarah): Look! There's Rohini (wave...girl looks at me funny, comes closer) Oh....haha, that wasn't Rohini....(walk away as quickly as possible)

Hey, I just realized that sitting at this lab here can really cut down on my internet time, which is a huge plus, since it takes up so much of my time at the moment; and except for Mondays, I've got about 2 hrs. of alone time everyday, although some days I can spend this quality time chatting with other people.

I've only met one new person so far, and she's a 4th year econ student, which is cool, but it also means that it won't be likely that we'll be really good friends anytime soon. But she's nice, and at least I'll feel more comfortable in Latin.

Ergh...long post! And this blog entry was actually about me! Shocker!
