Well, it's not actually the first day of University. It's more of Day 4 (not including Frosh Week). I'm a bit late to this whole blogging thing, cause I just got inspired to start by my good friend Tracy. If it's someone other than Tracy reading this blog, GO READ HERS.
So here's a quick run down of up to today's activities:
First Frosh Week
Most memorable events
The non-existent engineering event where we dug through a mud pit searching for pennies.
Too much to really try and summarize. Non-stop activities, met some new friends, hung out with old ones, fitting 41 frosh in a mini-van (where I was at the bottom), building stuff out of garbage, building a carbon nano-tube out of carbon paper (not on the nano-scale). Too much to even try and talk about
Looking Forward to:
Iron Warrior. I'm gonna be writing for the Engineering Newspaper!
UW Orchestra. Auditions are on Saturday, and I don't have my music. Luckily I'm the only piccolo player, but I still need to practice
Scared of:
CHEM. 2 course compressed into one. It's like, super accelerated. We did almost all of quantum mechanics TODAY ALONE O_O. Luckily I already knew lots from Nowikow, but it's still a lot to digest.
Enjoying the little things
Just shared half a tub of Ice-cream with my roommate Brian. We missed the free icecream because of Orchestra open rehersal, so we just went and got even better ice cream. Made us feel like the luckiest men in the world
And you know what. We kinda are.
We're blessed to be in a beautiful university, one of the greatest learning places in the world, in one of the hardest courses in the world, looking over the green trees of the Waterloo region. We have food in our bellies, knowledge in our minds, and music in our hearts. And there are always friends nearby if we want to talk to people.
Well, it's 10:51. I have a strict no staying up past 11:00 rule, due to my inability to sleep in past 7. So I'm going to be signing off for the night.
Until I write again
