mid jan in montreal Well it's been almost 2 weeks plus for me in Montreal, guess i shall do up an entry! School has been fine so far, except that there are loads of readings to be done and i am waaaaay behind everybody else. I have at least one coursepack for EVERY module, so i totally can imagine myself being buried in heaps of intellectual verbatim. Imagine me being able to sprout out some decent essays after that. Food here is boring, unless you bother to walk around and look closely. According to my credible informants, there are Thai and Korean restaurants near McGill, so i am definitely gonna check them out! Totally craving for restaurant food that is not all about pasta, bread and pizza. Asian food, yum. And i am cooking more often, preferring to cook my meals at home instead of eating out since it's a lot cheaper. Cooking at home also gives you more autonomy and creativity! People here are generally okay, except that they aren't exactly very friendly to you. I wonder if there is an inherent discrimination and detest for Asians, or is there a post-colonial supremacy sort of self-induced gratification going on there. In any case, i love hanging out with my Asian peeps! The whole bunch of us are really friendly, and it's nice to have a mixture of countries. China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and even Russia! Maybe it's the weather, but most European and Caucasian international and exchange students tend to stick to their own kind and most of the time, neglect us! Time for some change. Clubbing here has been a great experience, since we went to the famous Club 737 on the top of a building. Nice meeting people, and the girls here are HAWT! Some guys are cute too, but they tend to stick to their own people. SKIING WAS PHENOMENAL!!! Ended up with loads of bruises and aches but it was well worth it! Guess i have mastered it since i went onto the beginners' slopes and manage to come back in one piece! Mount Saint Anne :) All right, there are my emo moments, and during those moments i really loathe coming for exchange. I feel vulnerable, lonely and pathetic. Then you wonder why the hell did you come for exchange and feel so so so upset and depressed. But then i snap out of it and get back on my feet. Time and tide waits for no man. Persevere! |
