THE PERKS OF U OF M

I never thought I would say that U of Manitoba has perks, but it does:

the campus is actually really pretty, surprisingly, especially when its quiet in the Spring Session and there's less people roaming around in sweatpants and hoodies.

there is a Starbucks on campus. enough said.

no creepy men follow you down the street and stand too close to you while smoking while you pretend to ignore them while listening to your iPod. that being said, there's no homeless people/begging people/crazies there and it kinda takes away from the fun.

my professor is so funny and I think I want to meet his children so see if they really are as awesome as he says they are. he is also from Kenora. enough said.

Student central is basically its own city: a florist, an optician, a hair-cutting place, a robins doughnuts, tim hortons, general store, and I think even a Subway. also, the book store is kind of the most beautiful place on earth.

all this accounted, I drove today and hardcore got lost and was too scared to ask for help (I can do this in Europe, but not at U of M) and have vowed to never drive and park there again, because I am scared.

tomorrow I am going to try and find a book in the Library...wish me luck.
