Day 9: 2/9
Today was the initial UTS program orientation (pictured) welcoming us to the University and preparing us for the week ahead which is our official orientation week or “O-Week”. It was pretty much pointless and boring, mostly geared towards incoming freshman. Later in the day was another small session for international students which provided us with some useful information such as services offered by UTS to its students. Luke Vincent, Chuck Hansen, and I walked to Chinatown (pictured with Gum tree in Chinatown) after orientation, which is essentially located in our backyard and investigated a bit. When I got home, Liz Reichel, Chris Dirkes, Christina Simmonds, and I went for a run (all of which are friends and fellow students by the way). Liz and I ended up running off ahead of Chris and Christina, ending up back in Chinatown, and nearly locking ourselves out of our respective apartments in the process, because we had given our key cards to the two we left behind. Once that was figured out we all got ready to go out to a nearby night club called Scubar for the night with the rest of the group. I had a lot of fun hanging out at the bar and dancing even though these places aren’t typically my scene. It was extremely crowded, smelled much like a men’s locker room and I probably won’t go back again, but I made the most of it and had a good time. By the end of the night we had all lost each other at Scubar and went home in pairs of two or three (a few people by themselves), but I think everybody enjoyed the evening.
