Well, I think I'm enjoying law school so far! There's been a few debacles about not being able to buy things online thanks to my "international" credit card, but I've met a total of 8 Canadians here so far and I'm thinking there should be upwards of 50 for me to search out. The roomie's actually impressed with my social persistence, given my usual disposition. I figure that if I'm spending the rest of the year with these 115 people, I might as well get to know a few of them. She also makes fun of my Canadian accent. I make fun of her fear of insects, street vendors, and unintentionally burning the building down.
The resources here are such a far cry from UBC -- all the perks of a private institution, I suppose. One of the two law school buildings is brand spanking new, and I'm not kidding when I say every entrance has a security guard checking ID. It's an unfortunate tradeoff. The classes themselves have been just peachy, since I'm actually interested in this stuff (unlike Medieval Literature, with apologies to Professor Boccasini).
No pangs of homesickness yet, but I'm sure that it'll come. Maybe when things get truly insane, as everyone keeps insisting it will.
