update + March break

Hey lovelies,
It's been WAY too long since I blogged. Oops.

I went to visit U of T again on Saturday. It was pretty good, they had profs from the program speak and they seemed super enthusiastic and nice. They also had students speak and students gave us tours so we could ask them questions. My tour guide was in biomed so I asked him about his research projects, which was nice. The students were pretty cool.
The only thing that freaked me out was that EVERYONE who went to this thing was asian nerdy boys. Not that there's anything wrong with nerds (<3!) but like, EVERYONE. I was more than a little freaked out at the lack of...diversity in my potential peer group. Idk. Girls? Very, very few. People who have social skills? Even less.

Other stuff I did... Last week I took a legit first aid course at the gym. The guy who taught it was really awesome, he was a firefighter/paramedic with 3 kids and he just had a lot of real life experience. He was blunt and honest about everything and I really liked that. He wasn't keen on how first aid has been glorified, and he wanted us to at least be prepared as well as we could be. He had a lot of great stories too. Apparently he's rescued SEVEN cabbage patch dolls from burning buildings, thinking they were babies. SEVEN. I laughed a lot :P

Tomorrow I'm going to a dinner for accepted applicants at Waterloo so that should be good. Wednesday is prom dress shopping :D And Thursday is climbing+Starbucks with Em! Should be a good week :)
