ah....university

the joys of living right beside the u of t campus...frosh week. means i get to hear chanting at all hours of the day. last night, they were chanting at 11:30, when i was going to sleep. and still chanting at 3 am, when i woke up in the middle of the night. looking out my office window today, i watched kids play leap frog across a street, and splashing around the fountain in nathan phillips square (think the fountain in front of city hall in edmonton). i'm so glad i never participated in orientation in my first year of university. on friday, they usually have some sort of dance at the open field beside my house, which means it'll sound like i'm pumping the music in my room, but it's actually from outside.

i remember the first year i started working after graduating, it was so weird not to go back to school in september. i want to go back to school. no obligations. work is only full time for 4 months. all you need to do is study and go to classes. and there's always an end to look forward to. now i'm in the real world. i hate the real world because it only gives me 3 weeks of vacation and i have to pay rent. boo to responsibilities. and i'm turning a quarter of a century in a few weeks. boo to turning older.

otherwise, everything's just peachy. some friends were visiting over the long weekend, so that was good. i miss my friends and hanging out like we used to. those were good times.
