So today has been a little bit random I would say. Started the day off registering for some classes, then went to my first class of 2007. The teacher was the most energetic person I have ever met. It was awesome.
Afterwards, Chris, Michelle and myself met up for a couple of cold Canadian beers. First ones in a long time. We chatted and shared our vacation stories which was nice. We ended up having a few too many pitchers though, because I went home and fell asleep within minutes. Super tired.
It was Ryan's 21st birthday though which meant I had to wake up, clean up and head out to the bar... this is where my night gets weird. I'm pretty sure I was just on the show Punk'd because once at the bar, ever girl seemed to be flirting with me. I wasn't drunk so that was not the explanation. A group of girls snuck up to my friend Matt and asked if I was single; then hit on me for a couple hours. They were calling me "McSteamy". Several other girls just threw themselves, many were pointing and talking and blushing when I said hi. I had one who kept bumping into me until I said hi, then tried to kiss me and offered me a ride home.
Overall it was just unusual. Especially for in London... girls here are too "good" for everyone. Oh well, made me feel great in the end. Especially since they weren't fugly, they were actually good looking! Like I said, made my day.
On the way out though another odd occurrence took place. This like 50 year old man had shook my hand 10 minutes prior, and as I was getting ready to leave, he approached me again. He paid me $20 to stand at the door and bounce for the last 15 minutes as people left. No real reason was ever given. It seemed that he didn't want shit to happen, then it was because he wanted to give one of the bouncers $100, then he didn't want to get beaten up. He kept switching his story! It was messed, but on the plus side, I got $20 which covered my drinks, and cab ride home, all for standing around for 15 minutes.
Overall it was just an awesome first day back. I have two 300 level courses tomorrow which I am quite excited for. They should be entertaining, and hopefully I can pull good marks in them again. I decided I want to do a 4th year and graduate with a 4 year degree... and I still think I have a shot at Ivey, so I'm going to make the push. Go me. Giving up drinking in 6 days......
