Welcome to Toronto

So last night I had my first night out in the city (since being sick prevented me from doing so last week) I met up with Paul (not the same Paul who put my harddrive in, a different one) and we wandered around on Bloor and then wandered down Young to Queen street and we passed by where he works and a couple of his friends were just closing up so we went to some bar/patio (its after midnight by now) and they order a couple of pitchers of Canadian (Paul is almost 22, the others guys I believe were 19 and 25) but I had mentioned earlier that beer was gross so they were like 'wait, what did you want?' and the waiter was like 'oh sorry, was Canadian alright by you?' and I just kind of blinked at them and said it was fine.. I gotta say.. what an amusing feeling it is to have a waiter bring over 4 glasses and pour beer for me haha itz pretty damn awesome for it to be assumed that I'm of age! And we know I'm a cheap drunk (or I know it anyway) so by the time we left I was spinning and one of them pulls out a joint and passes it around as we were walking (say no to free weed when already drunk? yeah right) Paul made sure I got home alright and I gotta say, drunk and a bit stoned, I was feeling REALLY damn good by the time I made it to my room around 2 am.. cuz fuck, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PARENTS OR HOW LATE I GET HOME ANYMORE! WWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Ha.. drinking downtown past midnight with 3 older guys I don't really know.. this is the life.. finally experiencing some of the stereotypical uni. life! :) oh, and my first time being served alcohol without being asked for ID (though, Ive never been asked for ID because Ive never tried drinking in public before lol)


AAAnnnyways.. the archaeology course is looking to be tough, right when I walked in I was like *ddamn this sure isn't a first year course* cuz everyone was blatantly older than me. The lecture was a bit confusing and tough to follow. Though I'm finding the lectures in general a lot tougher to follow than in high school.. in high school they just seemed a lot more structured and easily laid out so you always knew what the teacher was talking about.. not anymore.

And I was complaining about english being expensive... oh shit guys, this archaeology course, over $300 so far and I still don't have all of the books :S It's really pissing me off how the prof will list the book as "recommended" and then have all the required readings come from the "recommended" books.. so if thats where all the readings come from WHY ISNT THE BOOK REQUIRED OR EVEN AT THE STORE? Its really bothering me that the "recommended" books I actually need to do my readings from aren't in at any of the stores yet. It makes me nervous.

Music hist./culture isn't really what I expected it to be, apparently the basis of it is critical listening (the textbook came with 6 cds full of music) and critical analysis of the music itself.. oh god Mr Caswell's grade 10 music class all over again *ick* We'll see how that goes.

Anyways, checking out the orchestra tonight with Ron; Amber is here right now chillin cuz we have history together and then she has nothing to do all afternoon until she has class again.

If you read this, comment, I want to have an idea of who reads this, or if there is anyone who reads this who doesn't comment. Cuz if it gets to the point where only the same couple of people are commenting (and thus in my mind are the only people reading this) I'll probably just shut it down.
