The Life and Times…

Well the first week of my new life is officially over. As I thought I was very busy and have been reduced to making a commitment of updating this blog weekly lol. I am however working on an interesting blog entitled “Inside the gangster mentality – surprised?” which promises to be good and nice and very very long. As such it may take me awhile but hopefully it’ll happen lol. So lets give a quick run down of how week 1 went.

As for school I attended all my classes, did most of my readings, took notes, and actually did some homework, so vast improvement so far though still not where I want to be I’m getting there. Next steps are finishing not just starting my readings and homework lol, but I blame that on it being the first week back and trying to actually interact with people I haven’t seen in a month. At least there is promise.

As for other academic eneavours I am currently in the process of applying for internships this summer, and I am hoping to get one as a financial analyst or something in investment banking this summer. Ideally with TD Securities or RBC, but we shall see. If I have to write another cover letter I might snap (p.s. I’ve only written one lol) I also discovered that I hate accounting just as I thought, and technology. I have an assignment due tomorrow and I haven’t been able to even see it due to computer issues and my idiot ibm not being able to open a damn word document, we shall see how that pans out.

In other news I did get some exercise in, though no cardio which I am a little disappointed about. The abs are for now still non-existent but I’ll have you know Natalie that my quads are in good shape lol. I went for quite a successful jog, glad to see that all those years of cross country and track haven’t been lost to muscle degradation and apathy.

As far as culture goes it consists of being trying a 65 dollar bottle of scoth whiskey, johnnie walker black label, excellent stuff, going to see Last Holiday and Brokeback Mountain, and trying a new pizza flavour. What can I say, “winterfest” isn’t the best time for culture. I also found out I have a magical ability to teleport. After a pub on wednesday night a buddy and I went out looking for a fountain to be the victim of our o so heinous prank, it involves lots and lots of bubbles. We looked and looked and looked and to no avail. However we ended up quite aways from campus, we were able to get what should have taken us 25 mins or more to walk to in about 8 minutes, and we still have no idea how. And get this we were sober, so what does that tell you, the mysterious street of toronto for yah. We did however end up finding a fountain much closer to campus on the way back, and the next morning the birdies could of gotten a nice bubble bath had it not been freezing outside.

This term I’ve also had an extra sense of longing for my 2nd home of quebec and I’ve pretty much decided I’m moving there after graduation. I got a chance to see the debates in French and I’ve pretty much decided that if I was quebecois i’d vote bloc. Did anyone see the fight between Paul Martin and Gilles Duceppe, delightful. I also got to see how truly horrible Harper is at French, he had to apologise for his failed attempt in his closing statements, and once he didn’t even understand the question being asked of him. Oh Harper, this just cements my dislike for him. Ps did anyone else see his fish hook smile, I’ve never seen something so unnatural looking since Lindsay Lohan with blond hair. What a guy. Ps I know this is a democracy and everything but you all better vote Liberal. It is much too late for me to get into why and analyse politics and track party promises and what have you. I hope you have been doing that on you own, I know I have, and if not, feel free to consult the HM.

Along with my pang for Quebec i miss my OSTA friends!!! and all my other people at different universities that I haven’t seen in forever. I am going to make much more of an effort this term to a, pick up the phone and call them, and b pull money from the air and go visit them lol. I wish you all the best and hope your marks are treating you much better then they are treating me, I hate calc with a passion. (its not getting better lol)

I must be getting to bed now, early morning tomorrow to do work that I should have done this weekend, hopefully that will actually pan out. And by hopefully I mean it better, b/c it definitely has to get done. Well until next week and next post I bid you all adieu.
