Wow.. i'm getting pretty regular with the updating.. going to keep it coming, it's actually pretty relaxing to sit here and think about what happened today. Today was a weird day actually. As the second day of official classes I've now attended almost all the classes I'll take this term. We started off with a class at 8 o'clock which meant waking up way earlier. I haven't actually been up this early since I was working earlier this summer so it was really tough to pry my eyes open. I guess I was helped out by the girl accross the hall who beat my alarm with a rousing rendition of "Hallelujah, Hallelujah..e tc..." playing a very loud gospel choir on her laptop. Not a nice way to wake up... Better than last night when the girl down the hall was singing loudly in the wrong key to Britney Spears :) I am liking living in the dorm so far though.. lots of nice girls and so nice to have people around to keep me company.
So molecular biology was the first class this morning. It's going to be complex and boring. I got to purchase a scintillating book on genomes! Yeah.. ;) Luckily it's taught by one of my favorite profs so far, he is a really excellent public speaker and tries to make the class interesting with jokes and stories. I had a molec lab intro after that which was uneventful and short.

I woke up feeling really bad, thinking it was just an early morning but it got worst during classes so I went back to my room for a really long nap. That helped a bit but i'm definitely fighting something off -I think everyone I know is, the guy behind me in class this morning was coughing a lung up which was quite gross.

Tonight I went to my friend Meg (second term vet)'s new apartment to check things out and she cooked me a delicious supper. So nice to have some home cooked food after nothing but junk and travelling stuff since arriving a week ago. Porkchops, veggies and rice.. mmm! Spent the rest of the evening with Amanda and Elise, my neighbors and classmates from this term and last term. They're both from Trinidad and are so much fun. But now it's time for bed.. gotta be paying attention in class tomorrow...
