First Day of Orientation

I had my first day of orientation today. It was fun, but really exhausting. I met a lot of people. holy crap. SO many people. I got some free stuff, and free food. That's always a major plus :D I'm going to go to day 2, because they have some interesting activities that I want to check out. In the morning there's going to be yoga. Then there's going to be an Aboriginal Drumming Ceremony, which will be pretty sick. That reminds me, in my home town there's a forest that's going to be cut down, and they had an Aboriginal blessing ceremony for the forest. I really wish I could have made that, but it was around the time I was moving. :( Well anyway, There's going to be a couple of workshops, including making your own sketch book (I just used up the last pages in mine), then making your own chopsticks. After that I plan on going to get my student ID card photo taken. I went by the place today and the line went all the way around the 2nd floor. @_@

And it looks like after that I'll be able to go pick up my new phone. I'm ditching my current service provider *cough*virginmobile*cough* because they kept saying they fixed the problem with my phone and the new number, but it was never fixed. I can't be here with NO phone what so ever. It's making my life very complicated. You'd be surprised how many things I fill out that require a number... some of those may be raffle tickets *cough cough* but anyway. (Free art supplies, who could say no to that?)
It looks like I have almost everything sorted out. Once I get my student ID, I'll be able to get my metro pass and I'll be all ready to face a new school in a new city!

That reminds me, I took the subway to school for the first time. It's actually pretty straightforward. The only thing I'm worried about is getting something like eastbound and westbound mixed up. It can be really disorienting being down there. And once I got up to street lever I ended up going the completely wrong way, the walking direction on the TTC travel planner were wrong (or possible poorly worded, as the case maybe) I was almost at Ryerson when I realized I was going the wrong way. XD The guy handing out the school agenda at OCAD thought that was amusing. Which btw, the school agenda are actually pretty awesome. I don't know what to do know, cause I spent a good couple hours customizing the one I bought... oh well.

Yay for nonsesical ranting.

That's it for tonight, I've got to get to bed. I went to bed kind of late last night....
