Um . . . school . . . yeah . . . . . uh . . . . .
As it turns out, the first week of school really isn't as bad as it's gonna get. I still have nothing truly good to complain about. I mean, I suppose I could say something about how textbooks are fiendishly expensive (I finally got my Scholarship Plan cheque, though, so I can buy more!) and how the bookstore has half-hour lines for registers. Maybe I could say something about how my body doesn't want to go back to the granola bar diet and I was really hungry around 2 or 3 today. Hell, I could even complain that with four hours of break one finds very little to do around campus when there's low funds - my brother says he can go to the skating arena or something, but I'm less likely to do that. At best, I can only complain that the morning busride - which was reeeeally quick - was painful due to a hard seat.
The fact of the matter is, though, that a day of running into old classmates, older friends, and a fifteen-minute overview class is nothing compared to how labs, term/research papers, and exams are gonna hurt. It's like the little girl who, upon starting the Grouse Grind**, muttered, "I hate stairs . . ."
So yeah, I'm REALLY trying to find stuff that sucks, but it's too early so far!
[**The Grouse Grind is a hiking path on Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. It's essentially wooden stairs that go from the base of the mountain all the way up to the top. If anyone ever visits Vancouver, do check it out - and if hiking's not your thing, the mountain itself is cool (go home tourism!).]
