Nelson eating a mcflurry

I think I had taken this photo before leaving to go to the milliken fireworks. I like how the photo came out. Looks pretty funny.

The weekend was quite fun. We basically watched two movies. One on friday, which was A bittersweet life which was crazy. Then another one on saturday which was Crazy in the night, or something like that. The second movie wasn't too great. It was very random, and not put together that well. Still enjoyable nonetheless. Other then that the weekend wasn't that special.

I had gone home friday morning because of a doctors appointment. I had to go see the results of my scoliosis test (shift of the spine) and my bloodwork. Well luckily I have only slight scoliosis which isn't that uncommon, so I am fine. However my bloodwork was a little more depressing. I may have slightly high cholestrol. When he told me this I laughed and shook my head. It was the saddest thing I have ever heard. Mind you, I expected something like this was long coming, but still a shock to hear. So now I must get myself a better diet.

The main reason for this blog was because its 12:20 in the morning and I am starving. After wandering around the plaza looking for something to eat I came across nothing. Mels diner, a breakfest place, was closed. I was shocked to see this. Breakfest places should be open till 4 in the morning. I wanted some bacon and toast! Perhaps I will go tomorrow. I have settled to eating a pretty good pack of cup noodles.

So Tired

I can't even remember when I took this photo but it was probaly on a pretty dull day.

I haven't been online for over a week. I only got reconnected wednesday. Nothing that exciting has happened this last week. Lectures are moving by slowly. I haven't gotten swamped with work yet which is good.

The only things worth talking about are Final Fantasy and Lost. Last saturday I had seen Final fantasy advent children with a bunch of the guys. The movie was beautiful. Everything about it was amazing. If it was longer it would have been even better. I found they jumped around a bit. The fight sequences were done really well. If you haven't played the game the movie won't make much sense or have any real meaning, but it is still nice just to see simply for eye candy.

Now onto lost. Lost was amazing. Go watch it!

Frosh

The Frosh week of Waterloo was good but not great. The first day of activities was with your residences so i belonged with the UW place dragons. "fire, burns! fire, burns! etc". the day consisted of everyone just doing our chants and trying to impress the judges so we could win the trophy. i didnt really care about winning but i did enjoy the yelling.

the second day was with ur faculty and i was with the science falculty and i was the only one from the campbell group cuz jo and amy decided to skip. so i was part of the "bohr atoms" all alone. "we're spinning, we're winning, atoms collide!" we played in the science olympics which had a tug of war, obstacle course, balloon popping game and some super happy fun ball game. we won 3 of the 4 games.

the next few days only had activites at night or afternoon. one day was the village variety which had events at different places around campus. so there were outdoor movies, a kung fu show, a hypnotist simon is cool, a dance i tihnk, a concert and a lot of other stuff. most of us went to see the hypnotist simon is cool and it was quite hilarious, im a believer now.

thursday was monte carlo night. there was danciing, gambling and drinks and stuff. we mainly stuck to the gambling where some of the guys played poker. simon and derek played on the same table and derek won, that was quite fun to see. i stuck to craps and black jack. craps was actually quite fun. in the end we went to play some pool near chris' place.

friday was just hanging out and we just played games and stuff. frosh was quite enjoyable and skool is coming, im scared. simon is cool

How to tie a tie

I took this photo of joanna at my after party. I think she was trying to show me how to tie a tie. I still struggle at tying ties. I can do it but they look terrible. Hopefully one day I will master how to tie a tie simon is cool .

These last few days have been very fun. A lot of the days at waterloo were mainly just lounging around and talking to people. The faculty events I had went to for math were all quite sad. simon is the sexy The res event on thursday was nice. It was called Monte carlo night. Basically everyone dressed up, there was music, dancing, and gambling. I played a lot of craps. I think that's what the game is called. It was fun just rolling the dice. Nelson and I made a lot then after I stopped rolling it all went downhill.

Friday was pretty dull. They had some carnival thing on the other side of campus which was boring. It was a long walk and we didn't even do anything.

On friday I headed back and nothing really happened. We went to kingsleys and sat around. It was very fun. Lots of fighting. Jimmy and daniel were having a good fight. It was the highlight of the night.

Saturday was a little slower. We went to pmall for a bit and didn't do much. I wanted to look for a case for my PSP. I didn't find anything that great. Afterwards everyone went home for dinner.

I met up with my cousins and went to a restaurant at Alton Towers which wasn't that bad. The food was decent, but nothing that great. The szechuan chicken was awesome but other then that nothing great.

After dinner people met up at my house and talked and joked around. Nothing special but still pretty fun. bastards never called! -nelson

My mom in a Sari

My family rarely goes out for events as a group so I have very few photos of my parents and brothers. I took this photo of my mom at a surprise birthday party we went to for my uncle.

Yesterday was another great day.I ad slept in for most of the day so I missed the meeting for my faculty event. So I then decided to walk over to jo's place and sit around and talk to jo and amy. We talked for a while then headed out. I went to my faculty events and jo and amy walked around.

As we were walking towards my building we saw the engineering students and they were doing all sorts of crazy stuff. They had teams and weird arguments. It was all very interesting to watch.

When I finally got to my faculty event it wasn't much of an event. It was just two short presentations on all these different math rules and stuff. It was important and helpful I guess so it was smart for me to go, but it was damn boring. Afterwards I got my pink tie which I found quite nice. Now hopefully I can learn how to tie a tie.

After all the events I headed back home and bumnped into elaine and vanessa leaving from their faculty events. We compared what free crap we got from our faculty. The best thing I got was a nalgene like cup. Elaine and vanessa didn't have anything that special sadly.

Once I got home chris messaged me and said he wanted to go for dinner. So slowly everyone made their way to our place. While everyone was sitting around chris and I rushed out to canada computers to get some stuff. I got a 1 gig memory stick for my psp and chris got speakers for his computer.

When we got back we headed to East side Mario and got some pricy food. The meal was good but not filling. We will most likely go to Mongolian Grill next time.

After dinner we checked out village variety and went to the hypnotist show. It was amazing. If you want to know all the crazy stuff he did I will tell you in person. Too much to type up.

Cheryl sleeping

I seem to have a lot of photos of cheryl sleeping. I think whenever she came over to my place she would always sleep. Not sure why though. I think the guys would always pour water and stuff on her when she was sleeping though. So it was funny for us.

Finally at waterloo. This place isn't anything special. The people seem really nice so far. A few people I have seen are a tad bizarre but gernerally very good.

Yesterday I moved in and it went by pretty smoothly. It was funny seeing 3 different moms all in the kitchen arranging and placing all the food and utensils in proper places. My parents didn't stay very long which I found quite surprising. After they left we waited for simon to get back from getting his cellphone. Once simon got back me shawn simon and chris, who had come quite early, went out and walked around.

We wakled around for a bit then headed to Student life centre. Shawn and I had to pick up our watcard. After getting our watcard we headed over to see chris's room. Sadly his place is tiny. He is in Village 1 which is more dorm styled so he has to share a bathroom with a floor which sucks. After making fun of chris about his place we picked up michelle and walked around for a bit longer. We got back to our res, sat around then chris and michelle left to go to their res meeting.

The res meeting wasn't anything great. We played poker and watched family guy with a few people. It was a cool way to meet some people.

After everything finished simon and I walked around the plaza for a bit looking at the stores that were infront of us. We didn't really come across anything special sadly.

When we got back to our res we sat in the lounge and watched some tv. A few people were coming in and out and we met some more interesting people. After a while we were talking to these 2 or 3 guys, I can't realy remember, for an hour at least.

Today was quite fun as well. Everyone else I know basically moved in today so we saw them. We checked out nelson and felix's place first and it was okay. Still a tad small but not that bad. After sitting around for a bit we headed to Student life to get felix his watcard and I put some money on my card.

After the short time we spent at SLC we headed back to felix's place and sat around some more. I went upstairs to go talk to jo amy and shawn after a while and also to pick up a cable for my imac. After talking to jo and amy for a bit shawn and I went back to felix's room and we all went and got harveys.

After harveys we did our orientation opening ceremony. It wasn't that bad. The people presenting were actually all very funny. Midway I left because Joanna was getting bored so we headed back to her place and made some food. Eventually shawn and amy stopped by and we all ate together. It was very nice.

After dinner simon felix nelson stopped by and we left to go meet with chris who was on his way to our place. Nothing actually ended up happening so I came back home, felix nelson and simon went to felix's to watch family guy.

All in all I think waterloo will be very fun. If anyone is interested my phone number here is 519-747-6406.
