Well, I'm here at university. I gave my parents a brief tour and they left for Fredericton (then Ontario) while I unpacked yesterday. I'm switching my default userpic for a fews days to a photo of the house I'm living in this year. (Off the website. Nothing special, but it gives the right impression when I say I'm living in an official residence, but it's not really residence living.
* * *
I quite enjoyed the first part of Henry VI. (It was an abridged version, as most are, combining Henry VI parts 1, 2, and 3 into two plays.) ( what I thought of it )
* * *
I had the pleasure (?) of witnessing the initiation of the "house" (group of houses, actually) frosh this evening. Various disgusting combinations of foodstuffs (e.g. garlic powder, jello, oatmeal, vinegar, etc.) were crawled through, fallen upon, pillowfought with, and flung at each other. I was there to see the new people (none of whom are in my particular house, actually), cheer them on, and see what types of things are usually done at the initiation finale. I missed it last year when I was a first year student because I was sick. Really, I was sick! (Like anyone's going to believe that.) I got myself out of bed at 7am on Sunday, had army paint smeared on my face, wore a single T-shirt for four days straight, participated in a bunch of silly games, yelled myself hoarse, and so on, but was too ill by Sunday evening to run around in muck.

I have to register tomorrow because I procrastinated on mailing in the form for too long this summer. I had been trying to decide whether I could hack intermediate French, whether I would hope they ran Basic (review) French this year, or just take the diagnostic test and hope I didn't fail. I've always regretted dropping French in high school, and now I can't take the follow-up to Linguistics 2001 (which I really liked) unless I take a language. I ended up deciding I couldn't handle French at 8:30 in the morning so that was that, but I forgot the deadline and missed it.
So I'm now filling out a separate form for autumn registration and I'll be standing in line a lot tomorrow.
