Today i woke up at 7:30 and bussed over to York, Day 1 of 4 of which i will be going to York University before school officially starts… sorta a fun slightly nervous, but definately an eye opener type of an experience
I’m got placed in Vanier college which is i guess is for the ppls in philo,psych,linguistics,law,teaching and so on… sorta a quiet university which didn’t have too much school spirit in the students… or maybe cause today’s froshies didn’t really do much. Perfectly fine with me too much hype isn’t a good thing. I loved the propaganda speeches the ‘master’ (for the sake of politically corectness and accuracy it should be ‘mistress’ since she is a lady) which sorta got you riled up about what Vanier college was really all about. I thought it was nice of her to talk about our ‘rival’ down off somewhere in the south and touch on the issue that i suppose is really important. That is — York isn’t a second class university, it isn’t second to UofT, its unique and its motto of ‘tried and true way’ or something to that extent fits it because its the most innovative university this and that… haha the usuual propaganda spiel that rallies people to the common spirit or attitude. all funs. I guess what i liked it was that the innovation, creativity and all that she talked about connected well with my obsession to be just that… haha funs.

A sideline note but fun nevertheless was how predominate the ‘mob effect’ had on the students.. out of no where someone would clap for some speaker and everyone would be clapping even tho the sound system wasn’t set up quite properly and more often than none you really had no idea what was going on…. nor did you know what you were clapping or praising for. also cool is how when ppl clap for that person this ‘effect’ causes the person him/herself claps along — bits of random fun.

As for friends… i guess i made a few friends today I met up with Akhter of Missauga who’s in Criminology who i pretty much spent the day with chatting about the usual univeristy fun and stuff. I met Matt of Economics in my small group tour thing — pretty funny guy, pleasant to talk with chat and just joke around. Lastly Sezer a guy me and Akhter found and chatted with… haha fun froshieness.

i guess what i’m a bit disappointed of is that when i stepped into the student orientation for vanier…. it was like almost fully devoid of the presence of asian ppl… i counted maybe 6 including me? 3 of which were probably taiwanese or korean? so thats kinda a bummer…. i really wanted to go get to know some more chinese ppl and improve my chinese…. or at least have more of a cultural affinity la.. haha so for conservative chinesey ppls like me lol the presence of 80% girls makes lil difference yay! haha

can’t wait till we meet up with YCCF *smiles* thanks Olivia for all the encouragement and just chatting w/ me as of late— kinda random but once again just going into York today i had a smile cause tho i didn’t know how ‘warm’ York might be, i knew that i already had a warm & loving family there

I guess tomorrow i’m heading out there again, for day 2 of 3 of orientation lots of fun i suppose — lectures & talks are sorta boring but still quite fun i guess… the novelty & excitement hasn’t warn off… nor has my naive lil mind met with reality yet… starting to get a bit nervous… tho i should do alright right? *gulp*

so yah guess another day quickly flying by… gonna try to sleep earlier tonight — since i slept at 4 last night w/ 3 hours…. pretty yucky.

so yah *cheers*
a tad bit of worry waning towards hopefuleness? *shrugs*
