Tomorrow it begins

Well I've been in Toronto for one week now and I'm still surviving. I've eaten at the residence cafeteria 3 times now and it's actually really great. They have some pretty impressive vegetarian fare which makes me very happy - Thai curry, lentils, mixed bean casseroles ;) yummy. I don't think I need to worry about going hungry this year. I guess I've been keeping pretty busy since I last posted. I've done a lot of neighbourhood exploring. There is just so much here - anything you are looking for you can find here. And there are all these wonderful quiet residential areas just off the main streets. You turn the corner and all of a sudden all the noise disappears. It's a thing of beauty. My friends Michael and Mandy took me to their favourite sushi restaurant on Sunday night. Now I haven't had much sushi but I have to say that this sushi was very good. I would definitely go back. And apparently if you order for pickup you get 20% off your order, which I will have to take advantage of. What else did I do this weekend? A visit to Honest Ed's which is most certainly an experience. They blow Wal-mart out of the water, plus it's not Wal-mart. It's probably the gaudiest store you'll ever set foot in (flashing lights and giant signs everywhere) but it's Honest Ed's. You just go there for the experience (and some really good deals). Saturday night we also did a bit of star searching seeing as the Film Fest is on. We didn't have a whole lot of luck. Our biggest brush with fame was seeing the writer(?) who won the Academy Award for Crash. We were holding out for Heath Ledger but it just didn't happen for us. Today's big excitement is that I finally have a phone!!! Very excited about that. Let me know if you'd like the number and I'll pass it on. I like getting phone calls.

Anyways, I have my first class tomorrow. Greek in the afternoon. The rest follow on Wednesday and Thursday. I have to say I'm really looking forward to starting class. Exploring has been fun but I'm yearning for a little more structure in my life. What can I say? I like order ;) But not too much of course. So, I hope to have another post later on this week for all of you who are interested in my classes and so forth...
