First Day of Class

Maby first "Day" of class is a little of an over statement considering I only had one class, Economics. When was this class you ask, well fairly early 6:05....pm. Ya, with that as my first scheduled event of the day my actions that preceded it were... relaxed at best. I woke up around 11:30am, I then showered and went for lunch/breakfast with some other people on my floor (including my room mate Rafik who had class at 8:30am!). After that I came back to the room, napped, read and did my blog for yesterday. By the time that heavy regiment of activity was over it was time to catch an early diner so I could get to Economics on time.

Good thing I was on time for economics, cause if I wasn’t I would have missed a lot. That is to say I would have missed a lot of my professor talking about his teaching experience in America, his childhood in Vietnam, moving to Oklahoma and other side tracked rants of nothing that consumed an hour of my life. After about an hour of this talk he tells us that we have course work we have to do and that "we better hurry up so we can fit it all in." WHAT!??!?!? Is this some kind of cruel joke they play on the first years ?? At that point I was ready to strangle my professor in front of a class of 300 witnesses. Anyway, I contained my rage and took notes on what he was talking about (stuff he ended up rushing through...) and I met some people in the class who were in PAPM (Public Affairs and Policy Management).

After that was all done I was in need of a good laugh so I went to the Yuk Yuk’s comedy show. It was absolutely hilarious. All the comedians toured with Yuk Yuk’s and two of them were on The Comedy Network on ‘Comedy Now’. They were incredible, I was in tears for a great deal of the show. After the side splitting was over I went back to my dorm.

When I got back I was talking with a bunch of people on my floor and they were all heading out to the ‘retro’ 90's night dance party. As most of you know im not exactly a ‘dancing’ type, but I decided I may as well go. Despite my own awkwardness I danced and after a couple of songs I was actually enjoying it. The dance floor was about 100000 degrees Celcus so I was sweating like a pig but I still must of danced for a solid 2 hours. After that I headed back to the room where I found the door open, but no Rafik. I went next door to investigate and there was my neighbor passed out in his bed, with Refik and Jacqueline (from across the hall) sitting in the room. I asked them what happened and the explained to me that Jason (neighbor) got really drunk and puked all over the bathroom. Rafik had come back to our room (after being in Ottawa) and went in the bathroom to go pee and found Jason passed out in his vomit. They had security to to check for Alcohol poisoning, but he wasn’t at that point. After the stories were over I stayed up talking to people on the floor and eventually went to bed at 3:00am, another day, and a bit done.
