That's a Wrap!!

Well, I have finally left Toronto. Exams are over and I am home. Exams were pretty simple **I hope** to say the least. I really liked that they only lasted an hour each. I have a whole bunch of pictures and updating for you guys. Wednesday after our last class we went on a tour of the Canadian Superior court. Our Professor is a judge there. You can see a picture of him here. From what I hear, he is actually quite influential and could be the next justice on the Canadian  Supreme Court. I hope so. He's a really nice guy. We met in the largest courtroom in Canada, which surprisingly isn't that large. One cool thing about the court room is that they still chain the prisoners to the floor. Crazy right. Thursday we went out for our last hoorah. In the afternoon we went to a place called Kensington Market. It is an outdoor market, knick-knack place, restaurant, etc. outdoor district that encompasses a few blocks. It was really cool. In Kensington Market is where I found the Grilled Cheese. This place is heaven. You go in and order from six different menu items, all of which are, you guessed it, grilled cheeses. You have the option of sitting there on one of there picnic tables, or walking across the street to sit at the patio bar. So you order your grilled cheese, walk over sit on the patio, get a drink, and they deliver the sandwich to you. It was great. After walking around Kensington Market a while we went to the entertainment district where there is a bunch of bars and restaurants. I saw this guy get out of a nice BMW, not a three series, and I asked him if he knew of a good place for us to go. He said yeah and pointed across the street. Somehow we got to talking and I told him we were in Toronto doing a study abroad. Interestingly enough, he graduated from Georgetown and was an attorney. He said he had a minute and would walk us over to the bar. He walked up, hugged the bouncer, and asked him to take care of us. And they did. We immediately got ushered in, past the line, through the side door, without cover. Cool. We find a little table in this packed bar and are having a couple drinks when all of a sudden, CAT FIGHT!!!! These girls are going at it. Looking for blood man. As people are breaking it up, one of the girls grabbed a bar stool and swung it at the other girl. Miss. Then things started flying. Purses, bottles, you name it. After the girls were ushered out we went back to our drinks. About an hour later guess who we see, the same guy that got us in. He motioned to us and he took us upstairs to the rooftop patio. This is one of those places you see in the movies. Very VIP. So we are enjoying ourselves now in the VIP on the rooftop of this bar. After last call we were finishing up our drinks when this guy, comes back from the bar with a bottle of Grey Goose. Ha. Who'd a thunk right? He starts pouring us more drinks. By this point, none of us were feeling any pain. As I thanked this guy he said, "No worries. We're members of the same guild and we take care of each other." I thought that was the smoothest thing anybody could say. This guy was like the modern day Shaft. Then we left, not before Shaft suggested an after hours bar. So of course, we checked it out. Sketchy to the max, but I guess that’s what you get for going to an after hours bar, in Chinatown, on top of a restaurant. This place serves drinks until 7:30 in the morning. Who can do that? It's madness. We went home. Friday we studied. Saturday we took exams. After exams were done I started packing my room. It was bittersweet. Around 5 we all went across the street to Mullins for a farewell beer. Courtney's flight left at 8:30, so around 6:30 we saw him off in a cab. Around 7:30 we saw Ahmed off to the subway station to go to his uncle's house. All in all, the experience in Toronto was fun. It was expensive, the weather was terrible, and there was a bedbug scare. However, I met some really interesting people that I hop to stay in touch with. So for now, I am signing off. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did and I will see you again on June 25th. Next stop, London.
