Sunday was Aquarium day!
- It was a grey day, wet with apathy. To remedy our lethargy, we taxied over to the aquarium on the waterfront. We definitely chose the right day, because Sunday is not only penguin feeding day but also shark and manta-ray feeding day as well!
- The people that feed them have the coolest job in the world, they get to dive in and hand feed them all, and the manta-rays were three times as big as they were!
There was an inner chamber in the clown fish tank (which was appropriately just labeled "NEMOS"). We had to ruthlessly fight off the wee kidlets for a chance to get in. Worth it.
First day of schoooool!!!
- I am officially a student at U Dubs!
- My first day was mostly filled with wandering the campus trying to locate things and the only thing I know how to find for sure is the library and food. Priorities, I guess.
- I attended one class that I am not officially signed up for, but I really hope to get into it. It's a psych class about social identity and oppression. The professor was hilarious and opened the class by saying that he was going to be saying things to take us out of our comfort zones so we could address them. This included trying to rationalize stereotypes (and using every bit of offensive slang possible) and then turning his argument backwards until we weren't sure if genetics even existed. He also asked where are the white kids, and out of 150, four of us raised our hands. Talk about being put on the spot! So we shall see if it works out with my schedule, but I shall keep yee posted.
