First day of Class - Romanticism in Piano Music.

May 2 (Lundi)

Today is the day for school! My class starts at 1:30.I decided to go to the McGill campus earlier to look around & perhaps visit the Redpath museum or the McCord museum. But I forgot that a lot of the museums aren't open on Mondays. So I wandered to the admin. building where I got my McGill Student ID made & to the library where I attempted to use the internet. But there was no wireless internet network in the library (I had to use a cable wire -> which I did not have). I gave up & wandered back to the music building since it was raining.

Went to my class at 1:25. The class was less than 10 people! & everyone seemed really friendly and nice. Classroom discussion was encouraged. A lot of people were not music majors (probably because the class doesn't require people to have musical bkgrounds). The prof played the Mozart sonata that I played when I did my grade10 exam to illustrate what distinguishes the Classical from the Romantic. It seems slightly easier than the music history courses that I take at UBC. But this counts toward my 3rd year requirement so muahaha.. it's all good~

The music building is just by rue Sherbrooke, a major street of the city. So you hear sirens and honkings, and all the jazz. We even heard a CAR CRASH in the first 10mins of our class! OMMGG.. haha.. The prof was saying: "The most important thing is.." and then we hear a squeaky brake and a "BOOM"! Nice way to start a class~
After class, I met up with May & Hersha (highschool friends) at the lobby of the music building and went to a cafe nearby. The city seems sooo much alive!

Me, Hersha, & May!

Went to a grocery to buy food afterwards 'cause I could not stand another day w/out proper meal. Bought the food and went back to the hostel and COOK! Chatted with an American roommate (from TN) and another Australian roomate about global citizenship, compulsory voting and American politics (Can't imagine me doing it, eh?). - to be continued.
