I'm feeling pretty happy right. The floor just went to T and J's for a social dinner, and 7 of us went to a dessert palce for some coffee. Finally talked to the French exchange student on my floor, Remi. He's cool. 23, from the South of France. Speaks English pretty well. I can ask him for French homework help now! 2 of my roommates were there, as was Kahlin's sister, another girl, and a 26 year old guy named Gordon, who's doing his MBA at Ivey. Great little group. Our don is such a geek; it's so cute. 22 yr old astronomy major. Again, almost 0 guys showed up. Just a couple others that I never see around. We should have 16 guys and 24 girls!

I have SO much Bus 20 homework. Every day, it's an exercise or assignment or case or reading or something. I have 11 pages for tomorrow's lecture. People are such keeners in class; everyone's pushing to get called to earn participation marks. I, of course, join in. My goal is to speak once per class, out of 60 or so people. I NEED participation marks, dammit. Other classes are going ok. The Comp Sci teacher rocks. He's got the same gentle dry humour that Dr. Lai has. It would so lame coming from other people, but from him it's really funny. OMG, my French class sucks. There's probably a couple of really good people who shouldn't be in this class, but the rest of them SUCK. We were doing this verb conjugation thing in PRESENT tense today, and it took FOREVER. My neighbour Jenna and I were trying not to roll our eyes. Sweet, nice girls, but they SUCK. I feel really sorry for the prof - he must be paying his dues in the first few years to receive higher postings later. Bio genetics - I've forgotten stuff, but whatever, I'm fine. I just hate how everything is worth SO much. Each evaluation is like 30% of our final mark. Jesus, I'm not going to fail from lack of studying, I'm going to fail from freaking the shit out come exam time!

Went to an AEO mixer thing with Mel last night. SO boring. More of that small talk chitchat bullshit that I hate. It's with a bunch of really competitive, academically minded people, too, of whom I am one. :) Yes, I'm a hypocrite. Good thing we're not exactly competing against each other for the Ivey spots; we only have to fulfill extracurricular and academic requirements. Otherwise, we'd resort to slitting throats in the middle of the night. I'm serious. We're already eying each other for AEO club council spots. I don't want any of the VP social spots, but I'm covetting the VP Finance for next year a bit. I'll probably not get it, not too big a deal. Clubs Week next week, I'll have to look for my bridge, mahjong and Chinese society.

DA - You're going to get lynched one of these days. Smartass. ;) I swear, your profs will grow to HATE you.

Chau - So when are you going to come back?

See y'all soon!

Probably soon rather than later =P.. which is why I try to sit with the other smart people.. lol.. they can appreciate my supercilious comments, lol..

And so far, I haven't actually had the nerve to correct the prof publicly in front of 500-1500 other students.. lol. Seeing as how I'm a life science student on the head of the bio department's blacklist.... eeek... future looks rather bleek.. haha
