18-23/8/09 My First week

Its has been a week since I first came here and so far things have been ok with a little kicks here and there.

Orienntation was actually enjoyable and fun. The people were nice, even the Peer Mentors(PMs la). Best part was they were all International students from all over the world. Meet all sorts of ppl, from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, China, Utophia, Uganda, South Africa, Serbia, Austria, Khazastan and many, many more...

The food here has alot of fried and cheese stuff, not that I'm complaining. But I feel its quite unhealthy without vege cause the only thing they hv for vege is a salad bar. BUT i'm enjoying my macoronni and cheese so YEPPIE!!!

The weather here is wack I tell u. When I first arrived, temp was around 17'C even at night but within a week, it went down to like 12'C. CRAZY MAN!!! Thank God for water heathers or not I wont mandi at all man.

Currently the only thing I dun quite like is my roommate. Name's Bati (Essense,LOL) and he is From Utopia. He is nice and all but the thing I dun quite like his gang. They are quite loud and they like 2 gather in the room to talk and with 4 /5 of them talking at the same time, it's VERY LOUD!!! The things they talk abt are also just in the circle and I hv no clue so I get ignored. So I'm stuck at my little corner, on9ing. The worst part is, he asked me (politely la of course) 2 exchange room with his best friend so that he can room with him but the problem is I hv 2 change my address and the paperwork is too much of a hassle. So he said he might ask the other guy to move here. We'll C how it goes. Frankly if it was not the paperwork, I would LOVE to move cause I dun wanna b in a room where the other person doesn't want me there. Y I always kena so much drama 1!? Sigh...

Went to the Steele County Fair at Owatona (1 hour drive by bus from Mankato) yesterday and it was FUN!!!. Had my first corndog, Watched my first Pig Race and My first demolision car derby. IT WAS SOOOO CCCOOOLLLLL!!! Touched a pig and the american pigs are HUGE!!! Everything here is huge, their houses, horses, rabbits,cattle, pigs, every single 1 of them=) Visited a Village of Yesteryear and saw a lot of stuff. C all pictures at FB k. I lazy 2 upload them here again.

Well class starts today so we'll c how it goes. Taking 15 credits this sem, the most so far from the ppl i know but we'll c how it goes. I have no classes on friday ( I ARRAGED IT THAT WAY HEHE) and class only starts from 12pm so yeah!!!
