I spent most of today sitting around at the UofT Clubs Fair handing out cards advertising Unspecified Club Where I'm an Exec (UCWIE). Having avoided Orientations Week the past two years, I completely forgot how damn excited and optimistic the first-years are. Many of the in incoming life sciences students are still convinced they're destined for med school. How silly is that?
It's really all quite fascinating to remember the days before UofT got to work on destroying my spirit. Hopefully the new student will have just as great a time as I had and the best of luck in realizing there's more options than medicine.

Frosh are Adorable
No, no they aern't. Mostly they are just a pain in the ass.
I understand that you want them off your lawn most of the time, but when it comes to club stuff they're all cuteness and enthusiasm. Plus, I don't have to interact with any of them in classes and the campus is humongous enough that I can't tell the clueless frosh from the jerks who refuse to get a clue in their upper years (and since the latter are more numerous...)
See, we just don't have room at the community college I am getting things started at, under normal circumstances. It was irritating when I was in my first semester last winter. Now enrollment is up by 27%. The inconsiderate and just plain stupid is everywhere you look. Like massive bulbous crowds of morons trying to all get in the door at the same time, blocking the hallway in it's entirety for several minutes while they sort it all out. Like ignorant fucking morons who will wander densely packed hallways on there cell phones and randomly stop suddenly for no apparent reason, while the flow of traffic continues to move the person directly behind them into them - and then they get indignant because someone runs into them.
It is worse than two dollar day at the zoo. At least there I can fantasize about strapping a 2x4 to the front of the stroller and ramming on through (or at least protecting tiny's feet). I just don't have the equivalent hardware to strap a bumper to in school...
Though don't think I haven't considered what I might do with my briefcase on wheels...
