night one

the first night here in montreal (first official night that i stayed in rez) the dorm was meeting in the lobby around 915 to go to Les Saint Sulpice- a hugeeee bar in the what i believe is the latin quarter of montreal i could be totally wrong but thats what our cab driver, francois, told us.. anyway my roommate and i - still newly acquianted - had a beer or two, both lightweights, and headed over to the bar in a huge mob of froshies. unfortunately it was downpouring and we couldnt tolerate it anymore so we stopped at prviigo, the supermarket, to get an umbrella which was $11 btw wtf and a shitty one too.. anyway we lost the group and ended up in a much smaller crew of about 5 people and we somehow found our way to the bar and they were checking id's .. my roommate forgot her id. sooooooo we cabbed back to the dorm (thats when we met franciois who told us all about what a great city montreal is) and we got her id, peed, and went back to the bar - we got a few drinks - rum and coke - and mingled a bit - odd first night wanderings.. mimi, my roomie, and i tried to get a group of kids to buy us tequila shots but they were too drunk to notice our attempt- there was a special at the bar on mohito shots so we got those and we were foreal robbed - it was basically a shot of a mohito drink, aduh, so it went down like juice and didnt fuck us up at all - hahaha woops. anyway we met some kids - matthew from toronto and political debates with david and liver cancer lying tyler. . we somehow found our way back home and that was that. night one in montreal.

mmmk i dont have the stamina to handwrite in my journal
soooo
here goes
COLLEGE:
i cant believe im finally here in Montreal at McGill .. living in new rez floor 2 room 230/232! with Mimi from Toronto.

My parents and i drove up to montreal friday night and arrived around midnight - it was an eventful trip. we got a flat tire somewhere in east bumblefuck north north new york - it was extremely sketchy but we survived. we slept in the hotel and woke up around 9, had a nice buffet breakfast and changed the tire of our car - that ordeal took about an hour and there was a nail stuck right in it.. veird. once we finished the manual labor we headed over to my dorm and moved in. no, not dorm... hotel. my residence is a converted hotel... i was supposed to share a room with a roommate but when i opened the door i only saw one bed... but then my mother walks through a small hallway to the left and oila! another room - soooo it turns out my roommate and i lucked out really hard and got the only room on our floor that is adjoining rooms.. what whatt?! theyre both luxuriously large and decently furnished... the windows dont open though and our views are shit. but the double bed is heaven - honestly who goes away to college and gets a bigger bed than the one at home? i've never had so much rolling space, i kinda dont know what to do with it all. i feel like i am on vacation for an entire year. the private bathrooms fa sho a plus. after moving in we walked over about 5 blocks to campus and i got my student id - later we went out to dinner at a nice french restaurant and my parents and i had wine with our meals - being legal is a beautiful thing. i stayed in their hotel that night also - the next day we got up and i got a new phone - canada cell phone plans are balls! everything mad expensive and shitty quality. booo. we did some shopping and then went to a meeting at the school - walked around the city, got lunch and then they dropped me off at my dorm and they left me.

i dont know how to describe that feeling.
standing in the doorway of my room, looking at my new living space, parents gone and home so far away. hollllyyyy shiiiiiitttttttt - so i started distracting myself by hanging things on the wall and organizing all of my shit and moving things around to make it cozier. i still need a beanbag chair, more pillows and another lamp. and a little rug. and more posters.
