Dear all,
This is a post-within a post.... It's the first day of school ( aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag) - to try and verbalize my excitement would be a challenge. I am in heaven. I caught wind of a competition to find a 'blogger on campus'.. 'my my', I thought, "could it be... could it be my chance to shine online???".
So this is what I came up with... I am still thinking though... maybe a theme??? Unusual Things That Happen To Me At Georgian College?
It's the First Day of School! The melting pot of feverish students cascades onto Campus, after basking in oodles of weeks of summer sun. I arrived, with my lovely friend Jenny, at 8:30 to discover that the idle threat of traffic delays had developed into a rather grim reality and after weaving through the dedicated picketer's, I found a parking spot while Jenny ran off into the haze to find her orientation.

I had a couple of hours to kill and while drifting through the college found myself joining the gym (and at $30 a semester: this is a sensational deal), failing to purchase a parking permit (more on this later) and finally settled in the library to review the situation and check Facebook. Once in the library ( feeling serene and also studious), I started to probe deeper into Georgian College using the almighty 'Blackboard' and 'Banner' system ( EVERYTHING is now online.. a big change from the late 90's where we had a 'computer lab' in the 'library' that was intended to service all 20,000 students in Full Time education at The University... my my have times changed.
I then tootled off to the main orientation where we all sat in the expansive gym listening to important bullet points about Georgian from the energetic staff and singing a Bumchalakakaka song. Throughout all this, I was aware of the increasing number of students milling around the campus in particular, the size of the queues that were protruding from various key offices ( Registrar; Parking; Finance). The strike is of great importance to all the support staff and I am firmly supporting them in light of the long term future at Georgian but Goddy God, it's causing a severe bottle neck with admin starting to shoot out of the college like an erupting volcano.

It's chaos out there.. but I am in heaven. I am back at school.. and studying Fine Art. I can think of very few places I would rather be..
