First Day of Class

So, I have a class Monday and Friday, at 9AM. Yeah, it sucks. I got to my class on-time, even though finding room KGB13A is not any easier than it sounds. Even people that go here weren't sure. So when I finally got there, it was a 300 level course, called Risk and Insurance Analysis. Either I am in a slow class, or the business program here is terrible, because the class didn't understand the concept behind selling insurance, charging a premium, and making money. Classes here are so confusing, there is only one or two time slots for each lecture, and then you have to go to a tutorial every other week, which is like a smaller class that you get involved and ask questions based on the lecture, because you can not ask questions in lecture. We use turnitin.com for the three assignments we have, all semester... and people don't know what that is here. I couldn't imagine writing papers without turnitin.com, you could cheat your way through school. After the class, I had time for a small meal, before my next class.
The meal consisted of a heavily buttered roll, sausage, and bacon. You can't go wrong with sausage and bacon, right? WRONG. The bacon was more like uncooked ham fat, and the sausage mysteriously melted in your mouth. All in all, bad experience. On my way to my next class, I have the room number written down as KBG14, so I show up to that room, and find a lecture in progress. It is 10:57, and the class starts at 11, so I was in the wrong place, so I just went home. When I got home, I realized it was KGB15, the next room over.
Finally went food shopping, and you have to carry all of your groceries home, which with 6, 2-litre water bottles, and 60$ worth of other things, it was a mess. I was able to buy a cell phone, but it is .13 per text, so I can't afford it, and will be switching carriers, to the same price, but unlimited texts and calls to any network. Stupid, right?
