Thought I'd Abandoned This Blog, Didn't You?
Well apparently I haven't--I'm astounded by my level of committment. School started up a few days ago and I am still trying to get my head around the confusion and chaos that's been surrounding my courses. My schedule changed completely (and I mean completely) within the first 2 days , so essentially I've had 4 first days of classes (and a hell of a lot of course outlines). And I still have one more to attend, the infamous 5 PM-8 PM Soc 100 lecture which will take place on Monday. Really looking forward to that one.
Well other than that, let me update you on the past month. By some miracle I passed all my courses first semester and then left for India on the 22nd to visit my grandparents over the break. It was a lot of fun, the weather was great there, and in between worrying about my grades, I found time to buy 3 saris (unfortunately it's not like I can wear them to school or anything, but still...it's a novelty of sorts). Then my brother got a job in Calgary and moved out last week (we're going there to visit him today). And of course, there was the tiny issue of switching all my courses when I got back.
Other than that, nothing much happened.
I have to say though, it's getting a little frustrating in my courses because I don't really have any friends in my classes. I've tried to start up the odd conversation but there's really only so much you can talk about before you (or the other person) starts looking at the door/clock desperately, waiting for the class to start. And I'm not a particularly talkative person either, so it ends up looking all the more odd. It's starting to bug me.
Anyway that's about it--apparently we've gotta leave now. Have a good weekend everyone!!

OMG Poorna, i totally know what you are talking about. Nobody seems to want to make friends in any of my classes! We should, like, join a club together or something and meet new people. Or maybe join the Skank-Ho Party, as proposed by daniel in his infinite wisdom.

ya totally! then between the shp and any other clubs we won't have to deal with those snotty ppl...ugh...well tomorrow i have my first seminar (EE 238) and my soc 100 lec but i'm still not too optimistic about talking to ppl...i can give it another try tho, but this time i'll need better things to say to keep the convo going...and i can't look like a total ditz like last time...lol...(for the record, i asked a random person: "do we have a seminar today?" after in the last class he clearly said we didn't, and the person was like "i dunno, maybe" and i was like "oh. i hope not" and they shrugged and turned away...ouch) neway this is getting long for a comment tho so i'll ttyl! and i need suggestions for conversation starters!!

The people at the U are totaly snotty. Nobody lets me in their pre-made groups in Italian; it sucks. But then in art history some random just sat down next to me and we had a completely legit convo. So I guess you just can't predict these things.
