FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL..!!

Wheee~ It feels like ages since I've used both 'first day' and 'school' together in the same sentence..!!

My first class, Print Production and something something, was pretty straightforward. We had to brainstorm "What is important?" as an ice-breaker.. which didn't really break any ice at all. The volunteer that went up to write our ideas on the board was bad at spelling and had really ugly writing but oh well. I give him creds for doing it. Unfortuately there aren't any hot guys (damn!!) in my class... and I'll be sticking with these peeps for FOUR years. So anyways, apparently our labs are Macs... it almost makes me wanna get a MacBook to accompany it since apparently all the big companies [related to publishing, graphics, etc] out there use Macs too. Almost.. I said almost.

The first class then gets cut short for a mandatory orientation to follow. Faculty introductions.. mini speeches.. then we get split into little groups to form "mentors" which is really just randomly picking one student from each year. We mingled a bit and discussed various experiences in and out of school. I'll probably never see them again lol... Then there was a random prize drawings for some book on politics that I didn't win. Instead, when the reps from the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada came to present, I won a year of membership! *___* After their presentation, I actually considered joining later in the program (3rd/4th year maybe) since it sounded like such a good open window to opportunities and networking.

Ooof, I'm so full of juice I stuffed myself with at the orientation brunch.

After the orientation, I headed towards work to grab my last paycheque. They REFUSED to pay my vacation pay! ...like wtf?! Probably because they don't have the money, but that's still no excuse! After full time, I don't receive anymore vacation pay, so it should be paid off now just incase they forget, in which I know they will. And they didn't pay my last day of work either (Sept.1 :<)... ugh now I have to wait until the NEXT payday which is in another 15 days for that ONE DAY'S PAY! Ugh! >_<
