So the school orientation was pretty lame. They hand out the agenda, and then they talk about random crap about succeeding and all that stuff. And then they gave out some frisbees and shirts and mugs. Regular, boring. Same as Humber's, except Humber gave you like a whole package of stuff.
The Advertising Palooza, which is what they called the program orientation, was much better. It was a joint orientation and food drive. For every item you donated, you got a ticket. Then you went to the table with the 40 or so prizes and picked which one you wanted to put your ticket into the draw for. So each ticket was only in a draw for one prize, not for all. There was also another table with one box and all tickets were eligible for all prizes. So the individually drawn prizes were good. There were two BlackBerrys, an iPod, two DVD burners, a DVD player, two cameras, textbooks, and so on. The smaller prizes, from the other table, were tshirts and mugs and hats and so on.
So of course, I don't win any good ones. Well, I won one, but it wasn't a BlackBerry or iPod, so I was sad. Anyways, I got a gym bag, a Bernie Mac bobble head, two movie passes, two coupons for Popeyes, two DVDs, a Mohawk shirt, and a 1GB USB key. So really, not too bad.
We also all got banana guards. Yes, you read that right. Banana guards. They look like some sort of weird sex toy, so it made for an interesting time as the coordinator tried to explain what they were and then hand them out. In case you're wondering, they're supposed to be so that your banana doesn't get squished in your backpack or lunchbag.
Actually, I'll show you how funny they look:
As you can see, they look like a sex toy. What made ours worse was that they weren't all in pretty colours, they were all black. Yeah, it was interesting.
Then we split into teams and built a tower out of straw. We lost. Quite sad.
The teachers seems pretty cool. I mean, they didn't really get to talk too much, but they were really nice and seemed to have a sense of humour. Also, some of them were obviously favourites, so we'll see how that goes. And one was super hot. :D
So all in all, I had a good time. Traffic was pretty good, and I managed to find parking. Hopefully it's this good every day!!
I also like the school better than I like Humber. Humber always seemed kinda dark to me. And I hated the lack of Timmie's. Really, all you could eat was Harvey's ,Pizza Pizza, William's, or cafe food. Even the pub served Pizza Pizza!! Mohawk has way more choices. It has a few of the same: cafe food, Harvey's, Pizza Pizza, Mr. Sub. But it also has two Tim Horton's, a Domino's Pizza, the Arnie, and the Cellar & Grill. I love that I can get some Timmie's in the morning now. I soooo hated that about Humber.
The only thing I'm hoping right now is that textbooks aren't too much. I think I already have the Marketing book, but I don't really have the cash to spend $500 on books right now. So hopefully they're not all super necessary.
As for my classes, I've looked at the outlines, and they don't all look so bad. Some look like they'll be a lot of work, and will take a lot of freaking time and effort. Some don't seem too bad. Hopefully it won't be too crazy with me working as often as I can.
So yeah, bedtime now. But be excited for me, 'cause I am!! Starting something new will be super good for me. I have two places to meet new people now: school and work. I just hope it works out!!!
