First Day

So yesterday (Wednesday) was my first day of classes....and I'm off to an interesting start.

I met up with Amber for lunch, we just talked about life: I think out of everyone I've met so far, she understands me the most. Did I already mention that she's a Christian?

After lunch I went to my first class: Spanish. Get this, my class room is in the Graduate Students building, and I am learning Spanish from a prof. who's first language is Farsi (sp?). He's actually from Iran. I dont know about you, but I find this so Canadian! I'm a bit anxious about Spanish, it is the easiest level the University offers, but he came in and wasn't speaking English for most of the class. He told us that starting next week, we cant speak English either. It will be an intensive class, that's for sure. I think I'm going to purchase one of those quick-learn books, like people buy for travelling, and study up before my next class.

When Spanish ended, I got a text message from my room mate, which arrived 3 hours after she sent it. I left my keys in the room....for the second time in 2 days. By that point she was in class, and when her class ended my next class began, so I ended up meeting her at 6:30. Meanwhile, I hung out with Amber again, as the two of us shared an English class from 4-5:30. With the exception of the fact that the prof. is from New Jersey, and mispronounces lots of words, I think that English will be reasonably easy...but perhaps my opinion will change after I get my first paper back. That gives me a month to enjoy it.

After English I had dinner, met my room mate, and then we went grocery shopping. FINALLY I have some food! I know for sure that I'll be making a lot of my own meals: I had 2 meals on campus Wednesday, and only one with a drink....both meals were pretty small, and it cost me $20.00.

Homework Load for two classes so far: Learn Spanish in a week, and read 65 pages for English. (Though I have until sept. 18th to do that)

Time to get ready for a new day!
