So here I am in residence at VicU, which is really cool. I have a double room, but my roommate is really nice aswell as my other 2 suitemates. Our common room is nice and spacey and out kitchen has a fridge, a stove, a microwave, and a toaster. And the 4 of us share 2 bathrooms, so I only share mine with one other guy, which is really simple cause we're showered and done in 10 minutes. Today there was a performance by the Fireguy who had a flaming diablo, flaming devil sticks, flaming juggling balls, torches obviously, aswell as his "Dragon Sticks," which are 2 torches and one big stick with fire at both ends. He does devil stick stuff and juggles the thing, which is really impressing since he has to catch it away from both ends and has to make sure he doesn't set his arm or shoulder on fire. I wants me one of those.
A Magic quote: "[The deck's] main weakness is that almost all of its creatures are tiny. Earthquake is not your friend. Pyroclasm is not your friend. Tremor stole your girlfriend and ran over your dog."
Stupid courses that fill before I can sign up for them. Apparently that's what I get for trying to take higher level courses in first year. PHL245 and PHL345 were going to be my bird courses for the year, as they are Modern Symbolic Logic courses. In the fall, I'm taking Advanced Calculus, 2nd year Greek, 2nd year intro to Philosophy, intro to Comp Sci, and 2nd year Latin (though I'm going to make a strong push for 3rd year); then in the spring, I'll still be taking advanced Calculus, aswell as Advanced Algebra, more CSC, and the same thing in Latin. I need a fifth half course for second term, and I'm hoping to take a course on the Rationalists, PHL310, but it will probably fill before I get the chance.
So apparently playing with fire is dangerous. I think I'm going to have a break from it for a while so that I can practise, and not burn myself next time, cause it's fucking painful. It's also fucking stupid when every guy likes the same girl. Out of curiosity, am I the only one who wants a girlfriend that no one else wants?
Another ridiculous thing is that in the Distribution Requirement section of the U of T Calendar, there are suggestions for "Humanities Courses for Science and Social Science Students," aswell as "Science Courses for Humanities and Social Science Courses" (we thinks that's a typo), but no "Social Science Courses for Humanities and Science Students" (like me).
And a message to Andrew: Remember the diriculously awesome pillow you have in your basement? Well Deb has two of them!
3AM Revelation: The F and S beside a course code don't actually stand for Fall and Spring, but for "first half of the Fall/Winter sessions" and "second half..." Isn't it cool how abbreviations can have such perfectly formed double meanings?
So University timetabling isn't much better than in highschool. There are already three courses that I want to take that are all Tuesday and Thursday somewhere between 9 and 11, MAT157 (Advanced Calculus), GRK330 (Advanced Greek, a preperation course for the 400 level advanced reading courses), and PHL246 (on Inductive Logic; my brother is in this one and he really wanted me to take it too). And on top of that, because my brother is taking PHL246, I would have been able to teach a Latin course at North Toronto, but I'm quite busy on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Wednesday was awesome. Best day ever. I woke up around a leasurely 11:30, had some breakfast, and killed some time playing FF1, and then called up Shai. We went to the Duke of York along with Brian, Mark, Josh, and their friends Anthony and Evan. It was awesome. Portugal played really well, and definitely earned their victory over Holland. Unfortunately, I lost 25ยข to Shai when Portugal scored first and when the added time in the second half was less than 5 minutes. Overall, it was a great time.
From there, I went straight to juggling club, where I bought some more balls (5 for Jamie, and 2 for me, a solid red one and a solid blue one). Juggling was awesome, though there's not much to note. After juggling, the whole club (minues two people who left earlier) went out for chinese food. We split 6 dishes and it was very filling. I look forward to doing it again. Then, on my bike ride home (this is the bad part), I accidentally ran a red light and almost got hit by a car. But fortunately I was not. So all is good. I don't think I've ever seen a set of lights indicate that you can only left turn and not go straight, but that's what it was.
Then when I got home, I returned Dave's call, and slept over. And since I was busy the next day making and eating food, playing games, and juggling and the like, this post went heretofore unposted.
