Day One, Check.

Well the first day of classes done. I don't have class now until Wednesday morning. -- Nice -- Today wasn't too bad. Comparative Criminal Law and Comparative Corporate Theory and Governance. The worst part about all of it is being in class at 8:30 am. Then staying in class until 10:26 and starting two more hours of lecture at 10:30. Can I get a break please? At least long enough to spend $6 on a coffee somewhere. Today I must call the lady from Craigslist with the $15 t.v. We have no t.v.'s in our rooms and for some reason, I cannot stream videos in Canada. -- Netflix, Hulu, Nothing -- I'm not sure if it is purely Canada that is responsible for this, or if it is in conjunction with the University of St. Michaels College but somethings got to give. * Weirdo's. * I thought Canadians were supposed to be friendly. They all seem ornery. Ahmed and I went and got a sandwich yesterday and the people seemed annoyed that we wanted to eat at their restaurant. So I guess we won't. -- Not to mention it cost $12 for a pastrami sandwich and a root beer. --It's been raining since yesterday when I got here and I hear it is supposed to rain until Saturday. LAME. Ahmed, aka Zach Morris of Cooley, thinks he has figured out a way for us to get a free bus ride to and from Niagara Falls. Hopefully that works out. I will get some pictures for sure if we do. I have noticed that the Canadians aren't really vending machine people either. Why? Also, the government regulates alcohol  here like its crack. You have like 4 hours each day when you can buy. Or at least that’s was the case at the store we went buy. I thought the Canadians way of life was drinking beer and watching/ thinking/ playing/ dreaming/ fantasizing about hockey? Oh well. I am planning on taking some pictures of the campus here but it's been so drab and rainy. So when it clears up I'll get some up. Campus is really quite beautiful. In the meantime, I will keep you entertained with my in-cohesive rants and over generalizations. For now, -- Nap --
