so she's taking all her vitamins
So last week I began my post-secondary education; yay!!
I was disoriented and lost mainly because I didn't take the time to learn the campus or to initiate any other little important things. Whoops!
Well the first day was interesting, met a strange and unusually poppy girl named Lana- who happens to be in my same class, at least I have a study bud.. gal. Ha!
My drawing class was somehow intensified by my profs. attitude which was serious, quirky and flaky all at once. I'm looking forward to learning from her, I hope it can reawaken what I know I am capable of. In between class I had met up with Katrina and a friend whom I haven't seen in ages: Andrea. I missed the girl so damn much she was always a fascinating person.
The next day started out horrendously, I no one I knew around and an extended break because of the lack of a tutorial- I also forgot my credit card so I didn't purchase my textbooks when I could have. They day turned however during a rat-race that involved the room location of my modern art history class (probably going to be my favourite this year) when I recognized a girl from my drawing class and we all too quickly bonded finding out that we have the nerdiest and some of the randomest things in common (and knowing the lyrics to Speed Racer). It looks like I have made a very good friend in Kathryn.
On Friday I was suffering from sheer exhaustion, I met someone who I had in my old art classes-- a nice and so blunt Argentinian girl, Carolina. She helped me and directed me around with the free time I had to go and get my student ID, pick up my GO student card and where a few facilities were. It was good I met her, or I would be muthafuckin' clueless still into this week.
That night I worked an absolutely dull shift. Not being on the floor fucks me up.
At least now I know where all my classes are, and I have the convience of them being all located in the central area around the bus loop.
Now I have to buy my textbooks tomorrow and gather supplies for a fitting art kit for drawing class.
Yesterday (Saturday) I went to the awesome Virgin Music Festival-- first ferry to arrive- freebies and whatnots, contests and drawings-
The actual GOOD music didn't begin for a while. We gave bands a try, really we did.
And I learned my voice can carry very very well as I shouted "FUCK NO!" in response to ill scarlett's question to the crowd about the grass being wet, he acknowledged my response. *cackle*
By odd chance, we encountered Dan and Tara friends from highschool that recognized us, from behind and we hung out together for the bulk of the day because we all wanted to see the same bands.
Amazing performances by The Dears, Muse and The Flaming Lips-- unfortunately The Flaming Lips' set was cut short because the stage was running behind all day and the headlining band was the one I had come to really see. At least I got to hear Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robotos pt.1/pt.2. Their performance is something random, energetic, involving and life changing. I was seeing a band I cared about and I totally let myself get into the music.
The lineup for the ferry was horrendous! Fortunately somehow we got on one of the earlier boats back, had a quick meal at McDonalds and caught the last subway ride into Mississauga.

Now I should probably try and sleep, it's just so hard to.
Edit UPDATE:
changed url for pics, since I have no gone pro with my flickr account and organized things into a new set
Today was a bitchin' day at school, got to meet up with many friends and they got to meet each other-
I nearly passed out in western art history! The room was so dark and small that I mastered nodding off sitting straight up. Afterwards I met Kathryn (awesome girl from drawing/modern art) and killed some time on the grass.
I eventually mustered the will to buy my books and less than an hour later, the deed was done- then met Lauren and Dorian and had a nice chat on the grass until it turned freakishly cold and we had to go into the openess of Vari hall and watch the people busy by.
Slept on the bus home, ate a killer dinner. All in all, exhausting, but grande Monday.
