Welcome to the Show

Hey

I'll write this even in here instead of doing it twice (one for Ryerson too) as it did kind of take up the whole day!

Started off early...surprisingly for a student and met up with the other exchange students at around 11ish but I was already there as I was waiting for Louie to turn up for a kick around....he didn't... So met the exchange guys, bought our ferry tickets there and I picked up my Ryerson Rams footy training shirt, which I wore with pride as we walked (well Paraded) down Yonge Street and just taking in the sites and the atmosphere! I am the only exchange student who is taking part in sporting teams! So we met a few University of Toronto students on corner streets and exchaging words and we started a water fight with them...we won as we were the only ones with water!

It was one party from start to finish it was packed on the ferries there and we were chanting with the cheerleaders and the engineering faculty (noisy sods) and was just a great. You couldn't move on the ferry it was that packed.

We got to the islands about 10 minutes later and we all got off and this woman tried ripping me off when i bought a slice of pizza and she was saying I only gave her a $5 note where I actually gave her a $10, silly women! Got body searched when going into the main area and had all my water bottles taken off me but atleast it was weight off my shoulders as i was carrying around eight bottles of the stuff! Christabel, Reb, Katherine, Chowny, Luke, Louise and I decided to go and explore the islands and was going to do it by bicycles, however the rental place was on the other side of the island so we walked it instead. We later realised it wasn't that far in the end. We found a beach...yes a sandy beach like on the coast and it was weird as you had the feeling of being by the sea yet it was fresh water as Chris and Reb accidently splashed me when they were paddling. Bumped into a Danish guy there who was also on the exchange with us so he stuck around with us until we went back to Toronto mainland and we walked all the way back via Dairy Queen for an icecream in PATH. The girls lost Luke, Chowny and myself so we ended up spliting up!

Had to have a quiet and early and SOBER night as I had footy the next morning and decided to chill on the roof again (without the bugs this time) and watch the electrical storm over the northern suburbs of Toronto.

Ended up in bed around 10pm (which is very early for a student) but then Louie and John (Both from MMU Geography) came up. Christabel let them in and they didn't realise I was in bed so they decided to stay and have a chat for about 10 minutes before they buggered off!

Anyway I'll finish off here
