it might be the lake effect, but the weather in waterloo is much colder than it is in toronto. in toronto, you don’t have to wear a touque or gloves or anything, and you can walk around for awhile without any adverse effects, but here in ‘loo you can’t last two minutes outside like that; a warm day here is a really cold day in toronto. it may seem like i’m blogging hyperbole, but it’s true! and we really do have to walk uphill to school, both ways.

another crappy thing is how my schedule worked out this term. for the first 3 and a half years, i always had 8:30 class which left lots of time to slack and do whatever after class. now all my classes start at 1:30 which may seem like a blessing but it’s not really. there’s not enough time in the morning to fit in the necessary procrastination time and get work done. then after class, at like 6 i’m too tired to do work, then there’s dinner and more procrastination time and it’s time for bed. plus i have two night classes in the week. so basically no time for work. now i know how those crazy u of t students with their 3 hour commutes feel.

oh and we got a bird (sparrow?) trapped in our house; i had a wtf moment when i came downstairs to see it flying around our kitchen leaving its poop everywhere. then i called my roommate down and he experienced the same thing. anyways, that was pretty cool and the highlight of my day.
