burp

ahh...i've really learned to love those french vanillas from Tim Hortons. It tastes better than coffee, and STILL manages to keep you awake for most of the boring classes. All in all, it's so WINNER...XD


Res isn't too bad; occasionally I'd hear some loud subwoofer resonating with my cork wall (yes, cork) and some guy and girl in towels asking to borrow the phone. Can't forget the drunk people outside breaking bottles during the weekend.

Oh! oh! Then there was this time when I heard thumping noises coming from the upper floor. I wondered who would be annoying enough to dribble a basketball indoors. Then I realized the thumps were on beat....nooo waaaayyy......... Then I went up and asked if i could play. XD


Food wise, the caf food is good whenever they know what they're cooking...like pizza, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, or most "western" food. When they try to make something nice, it always looks better than it tastes. Namely the steak, which is essentially a slab of grilled burger meat. Pork chops are too well done and dry; and the rice absolutely FAILS. The only place I can get remotely good chinese food is at the DC library, where I usually go for lunch everyday now. The chinese cooks may be soulless now, but at least they can cook something relatively enjoyable.

Anyway, it's been kind of a rough start at school, but I'm slowly adjusting. I hate those computer delivered tutorials on friday (they're similar to the computerized version of the G1 exams). Great way to make you feel stupid and hopeless for the weekend.

Job postings start today, and I still need to edit and convert my resumé into html format, as required by the online JobMine system. I hope i can get a job in toronto; I heard there were plenty in markham. And one in HK. wheee!!!


I better sleep. I'll need a french vanilla tomorrow.



EDIT: Boy, there sure is an unexpected DDR popularity at CCF.

back at the 'loo

the residence isn't too bad. It's still kinda quiet around since people are still moving in, but it'll probably get noisier in a few hours.

Two things that bother me now...first, the lack of internet. ResNet doesn't seem to like my computer, so I have to go downstairs to use the local internet terminals (which are Macs with windows XP, lol). My other qualm is the lack of hot water in the bathroom. I stood in the shower for five minutes waiting for the water to get warm, and it didn't. bleh. least productive thing i did so far.

anyway, classes start tomorrow, so i'll be trying to buy books. bleh. -_-
