So today was second day of classes and it wasn't quite as good as the first but it wasn't absolutely terrible. My first class was at 9:25 in the classroom farthest from me (ugg) but i made it there on time which was fantastic. It was geography which is a lot cooler than it sounds. One of the bigger units is weather which I'm super excited for. After Geography I go back to my room to charge my laptop only to find I have an email waiting for me from my French teacher. Professor Rosen emails me to tell me that she can't have me in her class because I'm too advanced for the materials. So I panic as all other seats in the higher levels are full. I even go to the Registrar's Office and not even they can help me. I reply to my prof about my predicament and she explains that the easiest way to prove I deserve to have them add a seat is to take the Advanced Placement Test, which takes two hours and I need to sign up for that with a different professor. So I email the next Professor and thank goodness because Professor Rosen already explained to her my predicament. So I start to calm down. The next email I read is from my dad telling me that one of my moms dearest friends past away last night from her cancer, my condolences if you knew Lil and are reading this, she will be greatly missed. This email making me feel bad about being so concerned over an extra test.
My second class of the day was Psychology. The teacher looks more like a Philosophy teacher than Psyc. He is tall with practically waist length dirty blonde hair and a big mustache and bristly beard. It was epic. He's super nice and really funny. I'm already starting to really enjoy Psyc. After Psyc was MicroEconomics and I could not for the life of me find the classroom. I walked up and down University Hall (which has the record for longest hall in North America) three times before I managed to find a sign point down this hall thing to the class. Needless to say I was slightly late, but I was not the last one so at least that's something. My Econ class is packed! There is not a single empty seat in the entire class, they even had to bring in extra seats to accommodate all the students. Econ is another class that seems good.
After all my classes were done, it was time for Fresh Fest!!!! Which is the biggest back to school bash at any University in Canada. Day One today was the Luau and Fresh Flix movie. The luau is a BBQ outside my dorms and there's free food and games, inflatable obstacle courses and a 100 ft. Slip & slide!!!! It was so much fun. Then at 8 p.m. was the Fresh Flix movie and they showed Bridesmaids, which wasn't too bad. I'm so pumped for Day Two of Fresh Fest tomorrow even though I'm going to be an hour late because of my Advanced Placement Test.
