College Update: Homecoming
Just to get it out of the way so no one is confused, I don't actually have anything to say about homecoming. It's just homecoming weekend and I couldn't think of another title. Now that we got that out of the way I'll move on.
It is officially week 3 of school. I have had all of my classes at least 5 times now. Obviously my least favorite class is chem. It's not because I don't like the prof or that it's too hard or anything, I just hate chem. Luckily a lot of my friends have already taken it and are up for helping me when needed. I think my favorite class is my ag class. All we have been talking aboot is cows and dairy and beef. It's great. Also, our labs so far have been going on field trips to dairy farms and a beef research center. NOT a slaughter house. We have to wear these little plastic booties that go over our shoes. They are really sexy and go with every outfit. I think I need some for home. My other classes are enjoyable, but they don't take me on trips to visit cows so they aren't as high on the list. My genetics class is actually interesting, but it does consist of a lot of probability. Psych is psych, all about thinking and stuff. Oh yeah, there is also french. I like my prof, but I didn't realize how rusty my french was.
It is finally starting to feel like fall, which is a relief. I was beginning to worry. I love summer, but it doesn't compare to fall. Also that much closer to my birthday, which, lets be honest, is the MOST important day of the year. I don't know what y'all are going to do to celebrate, but I am going to be doing exactly what I have done today. Which includes but is not limited to studying, sleeping, surfing the net and eating. And, seeing that it is my 19th birthday, maybe even a little Doctor Who. We'll see, I don't want to go too crazy.
Seeing as I have a kitchen this year I have been trying to use it. I have only made pasta thus far, but who the hell cares it's tasty. I don't want to brag, but I have become very good at caramelizing onions and not burning them. Also, groceries cost money, who knew. To get to the grocery store, it's called Metro, I have to take a bus to the mall and walk through the mall to the opposite side then cross the street to get to Metro. Last year this wouldn't have been a problem, but this summer they decided to put in a new store. What store? H&M. A big one. It takes twice as long to get my groceries now because I can't help but look around every time. I think I'll start walking to the store and taking the bus on the way back to avoid that damn store. It also happens to be the only decent store in that mall.
I also have a new favorite song. Live While We're Young by One Direction.
Just kidding. I only put that in there to piss off Susi. Happy Birthday by the way. Now the driving pressure can switch to you. And Hannah, she should really get on that.

College Update: 2nd Year
This past Sunday I left home for my second year at the University of Guelph. This year I will be living in the East Village Townhouses. It is on the east side of campus and is arranged sort of like a village of townhouses. It is about the same distance from everything as last year, but I don't have to jay walk across a major road to class. Although it is mostly up hill. I don't start classes until Thursday. I have been mostly hanging out in my room. I have been a wee bit social though. I had dinner with my housemate Sarah. She is from the UK. She's nice, I like her. I met her parents too, they were nice too. It must be a family thing. I also went to some yoga classes with my other housemate Heather. She is the one from Rochester. I have another housemate from China, but I haven't seen her since the first day. Seemed nice though.
In the house we have a kitchen with a fridge and stove, a little living room with chairs and a couch, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 shower rooms and 4 closets. Susi had the brilliant idea of putting my butterfly chair in there, so mine isn't a closet, I like to call it Jo's Place To Chill In The Dark Or With The Lights On, but that is a mouth full so you can call it JPTCITDOWTLO. I didn't realize this until Heather pointed it out to me, but one of the walls in my room is green. It's also kinda cold, but I like it.
Today, Heather and I decided to go food shopping. It was pouring outside. We took the bus down to the store, Metro, to buy food. We had to walk to the mall to catch a bus back. We got really wet, but it wasn't until we had to make the walk from the bus back to the house that we got drenched. And I mean drenched. I had to change all my clothes before we got lunch. Good news is that my raincoat actually works, but water dripped in from the collar. It dried up eventually. I made myself dinner today. it turned out well. I had pasta with shiitake mushrooms and caramelized onions. It wasn't salted enough, but other than that it was pretty good. I only had to call Hannah twice for help.
Well anyway, it's getting late and I'm tired so this is the end of the post.
