I've now been in Waterloo for ten days - but it feels like I've been here a lot longer. You know how people say that when they're busy, time just flies? Well I've found that it feels like I've done a lot since I've been here, and I feel like - I've only been here a week and a half?!
Random-ish thoughts:
Thankfully, my housemate I've known since I was a child, and the place pretty much has most of the things I need. Didn't need to get furniture, etc.
My program only has 4 people in it - and we're all girls.
Grocery runs are fun - where PT picks up students in a bus and takes us to grocery stores.
Readings - lots and lots of readings
Only one bubble tea place (that's apparently not very good), no Starbucks around every corner. No RW&CO
Takes me awhile to do things - busing or walking. The bus only comes every 1/2hr, and apparently I live 'far' according to Waterloo standards. It takes me 10-15 min to bus to school.
Free gym! Access to the Athletic Complex is free, membership included with our student card. And its a nice gym too.
The city is small - but since I don't have a car, and I only know certain streets (so far), it doesn't seem that small.
There aren't very many Asians at Wilfrid Laurier - but apparently at University of Waterloo, there are lots.
Most restaurants (except fast-food chains) seem locally owned, so I'll have to go and test the different ones.... heh.
Crazy class schedule: Mondays and Fridays off. Tues, 8:30AM-8PM. Wed, 3:30PM-6:30PM. Thurs 1PM-4PM. Very odd and irregular.
4L milk is sold in 3x1.33L bags - like in the 'old' days, where you then put it in a milk jug and cut off a little corner for the milk to come out.
Yep. That's it for now. Time to sleep.

8:30-8pm?!?! @_@ craziness.
ah, i miss wed night grocery runs and having everything within walking distance (if you live 'close' :P i think i must've taken the city bus under 10 times while in 'loo)
which bbt place is open? ...there used to be 2 at the plaza. oh, you have to try the pita factory.. they make the best pita wraps!
No RW&CO?? booo, that sux. I just bought 2 skirts from there today for $20 each! (not to rub it in of course...). And not a lot of starbucks? Wow, how ever would I survive if I lived there? hehe.
