I’m watching House. I’m in the 3rd episode of the 1st season, and House was in a clinic room playing Metroid Zero Mission on a Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP. w00t. Go House. You became that much cooler.

So, got all dressed up in my suit last night and hit the tables. For a little while. I met up with Amy, and her friends, Andrew, Heather, Elisha, and the other guy whose name I have forgotten. We went over to the PAC where Amy proved that she has a horseshoe up her ass by getting two blackjacks in her first four or five games. Then, as the night continued, we got in line for caricatures. After the two hour wait, I found that mine looked really funny, and I will have it pinned up on my wall for all to see.

After that, we left that caricature room. At this point, I saw the aforementionned Keira (of the Keira-Dorian “hookup”) hanging out with two other guys, trying to work the room in a tight white tube top. I also saw Claire in a slinky brown dress, remarkably not with Neil who likely did not make the trek from UW Place (unless Monte Carlo was a V1 only event).

So, I guess all those previous “pairings” that I “called” turned out to be non-existent. Oh well, c’est la vie. When I returned from Monte Carlo, I saw Dorian sitting in a parking lot with some other guys, and I recall during a round of the “I Never…” game, he said “I’ve never had a gay experience.” Now, unless I mistook the rules, that means that he HAS had one. Which could mean that Dorian is a homosexual and Keira just wasn’t going to get any.

Ah, watching people during frosh week. Is there anything more thrilling?

Breaking grammatical law, I’ve gone and buggered up the title.

Today, less than a few hours ago, I finished writing the English Language Proficiency Examination, which - to my observation - was a huge waste of time. On my sheet, I was offered to options for topics.

The first choice was to write about the definition of “a good friend” which they had provided. In the end, this was the topic I chose, making my entire paper ridiculously corny.

The second available choice was to write about whether we believed people had been developing shorter and shorter attention spans lately. As I already said, I chose the former.

I assume I did well. It was the same corny garbage that I fed every teacher back in our ol’ Catholic high school. And, it was written well enough, so, I should be fine. Even if they forced me to take an English course to supplement the ELPE, I wouldn’t care, since I intended to take an English anyway. Although, after writing the ELPE, I can honestly say I’m glad math has limited writing. Although now, I’m beginning to regret taking PSYCH 120R and PHIL whatever, because it means essay writing. Oh well.

Part Two will come tonight or tomorrow, depending on the success/failure of Monte Carlo night.

We had sparring of the guilds today, which was pretty fun. A lot of sports games were played, but we didn’t win much. Still, the Soaring Eagles managed to get third place out of eight or ten teams, proving that we kick ass so much it hurts.

I didn’t go to the Wednesday night event with sumo wrestling and 3D twister because I was tired. The only thing I have to do today (Orientation Week: Day 4) is write the ELPE, which - I assume - is the Literacy Test ver. 2. As a result, I’m not particularly worried about it.

On the other hand, I am worried about my first week of classes. My math is a little rusty, so I’m worried about going into things unprepared. I’ve got my Gr. 11 and Gr. 12 (Calc, Discrete and Data) tests with me, so I can cram up before the first week and be on the level. I’ve also got the preparation manual and a sample readiness test. So, I should be okay, if I can find time to do the review. I wish I had some music to listen to in the background, as I cannot work in complete silence after spending five years of high school adapting to working with noise in the background.

As for those wierd engineers, they are known as EDCOM. They are the top 3% of engineering students, and they are like the Tie Guard for the engineers, except the guard the Tool instead. The only thing that makes them look intimidating is the huge tools they carry around. Otherwise, they’re just wierdos in emo clothes.

Take care folks. Ima go shower up.

An interesting day.

I woke up slightly late to get to the beginning of the Orientation ceremonies of sorts. I quickly joined my team, the Soaring Eagles, and we spent the day visiting a few academic sessions and playing more mindless ice breakers. Needless to say, I am not openly social, so - I more or less just walked around sullenly. My favourite part of the day was, by far, when we finally received our ties and got to say the Ode to the Tie (or whatever it is called).

We also had a row with some stupid engineers. Or rather, a legion of Mathies completely decimated them. And by that I mean, we pressured them into taking off their helmets while we praised the tie. But anywho, yeah.

Also, Andrew, I’m hardcore enough to be a Tie Guard. I could totally handle it.

Good Lord. Fitting in at University is like high school all over again. Different cliques are already assembling before my very eyes. Once again, I feel isolated and alone. Thankfully, I already have a pre-established base of friends here, but still, I was hoping to meet some new people. But, alas, it was not meant to be. The guy next door to me (Katharik (sp?)) as well as a few other people in my house are gamers, which is cool. Perhaps someday, we can get a game of CS: Source going, however, they said that they didn’t bring their “gaming” computers because they were worried about the distraction. And here I am with a total of eight gaming systems in my room. Good Lord, what an exciting time this will be.

Also, I have never heard of this Tie Guard. Why can’t First Years be a part of it. I wanted to initiate some amazing plans to protect that tie!
