Well im starting to get used to this..

Lectures, classes, reading, tutorials..

Tmr i'll attend the 12 pm lecture on introduction to communications and maybe the course director will allow me to enrol in the class since you can't do it online..anymore.

I can imagine what it would be like :

(walks into big lecture hall)

Me: Excuse me sir, i'm an undecided major for first year but i'm leaning towards majoring in communications studies in my second and i was wondering whether i could join this class?

CD: NO! Spaces are limited for COMN majors only.

Me: Oh well uh..what do you suggest i do then? i only have 24 credits currently.

CD: (ignores me)


Of course i'm hoping its not going to turn out that way. You have to have a minimum of 30 credits to be able to stay in Residence.

For my 2nd year, i maybe considering staying in Aunty Di's house. Since she's in HK for like 11 months of the year, she has offered to let me stay there. Its so convenient to take the bus from her house to school. And its so close to Yonge Street, with its numerous coffee places, bookstores and Centrepoint Mall! Plus, it'll help save money on residence and I can do my own cooking and washing and all of that stuff you do when you have to live on your own. And its a PROPER House. Yes yes it is a very good idea. I'll have to talk to mom n dad about that.

Friday Aunty Di's taking me shoe shopping! I love shopping here! The clothes are really nice and they fit me perfectly! The accessories here are in way more variety and they're pretty cheap too. and the shoes!! And i can finally find nice, elegant heels that fit my huge feet. I should do all my shopping for clothes here.

The people here place alot of emphasis on service. Like last week, went shopping for a dress for the September 30th Wedding, which is why all the shopping started in the first place, and we went to this store, Le Chateau, and i had to try on some dresses of course, so they assign a staff to you and she actually offers advice on what looks good on you and what accessories and what kind of shoes will go with the dress. It was a nice experience.

I've got my weekends pretty full, this saturday's the MSSA orientation. Yay they go skiing in the winter! I'm going to actually get to ski!! Hope i won't suck at it.. according to Yiing, it seemed pretty hard. But as Lance Armstrong said, you'll never get on the bike if you keep worrying about falling off. Next Saturday's the wedding, Oct 14 is Rimpoche's talk (kinda looking forward to that, and i declared myself an atheist!), then there's the creative writing seminar at UofT, i'm sure MSSA has alot of other stuff planned..man i hope they wont clash! i really wouldnt want to miss anything.. Opp. Cost, this is not a good time to appear.

Last week, there was a shooting rampage at a Montreal College and its really scary, back in SG when you hear about stuff like that, it all seems so distant. Right now, its like, it can actually happen anywhere, it can even happen in my school, since you're so much closer. There was a stabbing incident here at York too. It happened in Vanier Residence, which is really close to mine! Coming from SG, i think sometimes i take things like safety and security for granted. note to self: NEVER ASSUME. I received a very nice email from Parvin to watch out for myself and be more careful. Aw thanks Parvin! It was a really nice gesture! how did you know about the montreal college shooting anyway...haha.

okay i'd best get to my reading. Now i know why they have reading week in February, to give u a headstart on the finals!!!!!!!!

Soliloquy ends here.
