So I'm in Toronto now. I have the coolest appartment ever. I have my first class in 40 minutes - "Quantum Mechanics" - I hear the prof is good. I wonder if grad school is going to be hard... My piano is getting tuned tomorrow. It's really old and is hasn't been tuned in 20 years, so they might not be able to bring it up to concert pitch without ( Read more... )

Oh my god. I just got the birds and the bees talk from dad. I'm so glad that I was drunk, otherwise it would have been even more painful to listen to.
