Woke up with Mulan, woke up on time and scrambled to my history discussion. Mulan had left her contacts at home, so had to figure out what to do with respect to that but basically walked her to the bus stop, and she was able to make it back home on her own. Then I went back home, chilled for a bit, and then realized that since this was the one day where there was no strike, there was actually music lecture today. So I went to that, was doing a bit of CS stuff in the meantime but the slides are pretty informative so it should be good.
Then, I went to office hours with my history tutor. I was pretty surprised with the lack of structure/direction in how we’re supposed to write the essay, but I guess it makes sense in the context of the fact that there is less support and guidance here in general. After that, I went to a library area in 50 George Square, I didn’t have water all day which was a bit annoying but I went to that place and ended up playing Hearthstone battlegrounds for like 3 hours or so pretty much. Mechs are just absolutely broken.
Afterwards, we had this cool dinner meetup with the Sciennes group where all of us brought some food item or aspect of our culture to the dinner, kind of like a potluck. There was some really great food there, and it was a great time talking and getting to know a lot of people better in general. I even played pingpong with Lorenzo and Martim, and beat them both! At least they think I’m pretty good at ping pong now.
After that, I got back upstairs at 11:30, and decided to make it a night for myself of just fucking around and doing nothing. I pretty much just played Hearthstone and watched basketball until about 5:30AM, and the kicker is that the game that I was pretty hyped about - Clippers vs Nuggets, turned out to be an absolute blowout, in favor of the other team. It just left me with a pretty sour taste in my mouth, and I wasn’t really happy or satisfied when I went to sleep.
