What is this Ah-bow-T?

It's so funny. All of the Canadians can tell we are from the states because of our accents. Really Canada? I don't know what your talking ah-bow-t! Day two of classes, day three in Toronto, is over. I posted some picture from the past day or so. Some of the night pictures are blurry because I used my cell phone. I thought it unwise to take the Pillar camera out for a night of clubbing. -- Do I sound douche-y for saying clubbing? -- In any event, I feel compelled to vent. There are two girls that sit next to me in class. *Must be because I am so good looking.* They literally were talking amongst themselves for four hours. They made no effort to conceal it, speak softly, or even pretend to be interested in class. I am all for zoning out in class sometimes, but you are disrespectful and make me, and everyone around you look like an idiot. At one point, I leaned over and asked them to please stand up, walk to the front, and teach because they obviously know more than the Canadian equivalent of a federal appellate court judge. *BTW, I didn't actually do that. I wanted to but chickened out. Dang* On top of all of that, other than the reading, the classes are quite interesting. The comparative crim law professor, the judge, Archibald is awesome. He is one of those brilliant people who have a personality and are funny all in one. --Like me?-- He tries to involve everyone and do more to stimulate thinking opposed to lecturing. So today he dropped the F-Bomb on accident, but because he got such a laugh, he continued to exploit it to get everyone interested again. There is nothing funnier or more appreciated than seeing a distinguished man in the legal profession dropping to our level. Thanks Prof. Archibald. To top it all off, our other class is Comparative Corp. Governance and Theory. I know it sounds extremely interesting to no one, but the whole class is based of the Godfather. Ha. Did you hear me? The freaking Godfather. If that's not enough to keep you interested, than I'm sorry girls, get out of here. Sorry, I digress. Trivia Tip #1 - Canada essentially adopted our Bill of Rights in the 1980's. It is called the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. See mom, I told you, America Light. The plan for today is as follows, go to ROM (Royal Ontario Museum). It is free after 3:30 on Wednesdays. *Score. Thanks Zack Morris.* Then, Adele is in concert at the Air Canada Centre. Tickets are sold out, but a bunch of people are planning on going down there to see if we can find some... we will see how that works out. If not, we are going to watch the Bulls and Heat. So, if any of you have read through this much too long rambling babble, I will let you guys now what happens. - TTYL
