It was a challenge to get up to the Convocation ceremony at three o'clock. The new students were welcomed by the dean, professors in Whatever and presidents of associations of Something. The ceremony was outdoors and it was a hot day, we sat there perspiring while the speakers repeated the same mantra about cut backs, hard studies and pride.
Afterwards, Turtle, Youtube and I hit the recreation center. Wow! Wowwowwowwow! Tennis courts, squash, soccer, an indoors skating rink, two gyms, a pool, climbing walls, you name it! We tried climbing, which was difficult. Then running: it took a while to get used to the machine and I had to type in weight and speed in pounds and mph. After that we went to the pool and dived and finally we found a hot tub...La vita รจ bella.
We spent 3-4 hours in the reccen and walked home on weak legs. The best thing is that it's payed for by the tuition fees, with other words: FREE! I usually hate gyms, but this, this...I lack words. I might even return on a regular basis, so great is it!
After days of raving I finally had a sober evening and had time to chat with Angel. He is in the same time zone, unlike my friends back home. Since he studies on the west coast too, the stories were similar. His room mate sells weed, at this very moment McConaughey's room mate was there to buy some (McConaughey is one of the other Swedes in Canada). Angel could at least answer the question why he doesn't try drugs with "My father puts druggies in jail for a living".
The semester starts Thursday. My room mates will be back soon :-D
