my elbow sticks to tables because it's just so hot

So I haven't blogged in two weeks and five days. Well I said I wouldn't be able to blog a lot in one of my previous posts. I'm so honest to you guys. :)
I have landed in the land of Montreal (okay that was about a week ago but who's counting?). And you know what else?

It is sweltering hot over here. I checked the Weather Network (that's how hot it is that I actually have to check the humidex) and it feels like 39 C right now. You could get heat stroke. You could get heat stroke and die.

A few things that I've noticed regarding university life...

1. When you walk past people you don't know they'll say "hi" just because they live in your residence. Of course, you have no choice but to say "hi" back (even though you're a bit surprised).
2. The cafeteria is expensive.
3. Your room becomes very neat because you're outside all the time so you don't have time to be messy.
4. You'll probably call your dorm your home at least once this entire year. It'll slip out.
5. You won't miss your family in the first week.
6. Independence is strangely not an overwhelming feeling.
7. You walk a lot because you live so close to campus so you don't need to take the metro.
8. You eat less. Well, I eat less. Maybe that's a good thing! :)

But I swear I don't eat as much as I used to. I go to Montreal and I eat sushi for lunch/dinner. I ask for a receipt for each purchase I make, whether it's in the cafeteria or outside, so I can jot down how much I spend. It makes me feel monetarily (holy crap that's a word but I don't even know what it means!) aware (and because I can't check how much money I have left on my meal plan which I have to use up by the end of the year because if I don't I don't get any money back unless it's flex dollars which I still have no idea where to use them).

Today was the first day of school and I had 3 classes. Well, two because one of them was large ensemble. I'm in the Sinfonietta, which is basically a new ensemble they made either last year or the previous year and it's mainly comprised of first and second years. The good thing about MGSO and Sinfonietta is that they're both conducted by the same conductor (Alexis Hauser) so I don't have class for 3 weeks. Starting Sept. 24 I'll be having rehearsal 3 times a week for 3 weeks and then a concert at the end. (Y)

I still don't feel like I'm a college student.

P.S Here are some pictures of the 1000 cranes I folded. They're in a nice, safe place and being watched over by an amazing guy. :)

P.P.S. I did end up getting a one-shouldered little black dress.

hey Curtis, you were right; I CAN make the :3 face! ...ish.
