Welcome week 2009; Day 3

Day 3

After yet another night of tossing and turning, Alice & i woke up at 7:00.
She headed for downtown at 9 & i haven't seen her since (it's almost 4:30 now). Luckily we just had department meetings today. My english professors are really entertaining people! There were only about 10 of us in there, so it was quite cozy. Almost half of the class was chinese, which surprised me. Luckily we've had a lot more free time today & i've been hanging out with girls on the floor below me, one of which i went to high school with. After i post this pathetic, short (compared to yesterdays) blog i'll head down to dinner with the girls. Yet still no sign of Alice.... But i guess she has to come back some time!
All of the upperclassmen have been moving in all day, so it's weird seeing so many more people than before. I think we're all ready to start classes and get welcome week over with because it's just boring.
I just found out that i have my world history class with the girl i went to high school with! YESSSSS, familiar face!
But i've found out that i'll never lecture the boys again about flushing the toilet because.....
SOME GIRLS DON'T DO IT HERE! It's pretty nasty because i've thought all along that it was just a boy thing.
haha but i'm sure you don't care to read about the bathrooms.....
Showering is different. There's 2 curtains in the showers. One for the actual shower & one for the "dressing area". However, the "dressing area" curtain doesn't even cover the entire opening. Someone didn't measure correctly i guess! Not to mention that the once simple task of changing has become difficult. It's hard to put on clothes without still being soaking wet! Even with towels, it's not easy.
It's also hard to shave your legs. It's just a basic shower stall. After i have my shave gel on i need to grab my razor, but by that time most of the shave gel has been rinsed off. I'll need to figure out a better way to do this, & I'll let you know when i finally figure out the secret.



Let's see, what have i learned today.....
It's important to go to the meetings that say MANDATORY below them. They've starting swiping cards to make sure we attend, which they had not done until this morning. So whoever decided to sleep in didn't get their card swiped! (& i'm not really sure what will happen to them)

The thing i hate....or just dislike would have to be sharing a room.
There's so many things to worry about to make sure you're a good roommate!
Does she hate my perfume?
Does she mind that i like to watch TV at night?
Does she mind if i have people in the room?
Would she care if someone spent the night?
Does she mind the smell of my coffee?
Is all the texting & phone calls annoying her?
Will she care that i have to wake up 3 hours earlier than she will for my first classes?

so many questions!
I'm sure it'll get better over time, but i'd like to think i'm a courteous roommate?

More tomorrow!

Love,
Anna
