From the Mac Lab

I'm writing to you today from the Mac Lab on the 2nd floor of MC. I'm in Waterloo for a 'Meet and Greet' for 2009/2010 Dons. It was fun, I met about 100 people but I don't think that I'll remember any of their names.

I'm really looking forward to being a Don (is Don a word that is consistently capitolized? I'm not sure, I'll investigate this). I'm looking forward to making a lot of friends and living with a lot of people and helping the students out. I don't think it will be as rewarding as it would be if I were donning for first-years, but it will be what I make of it.

Anyway, more about the Mac Labs. They have the sexiest computers here. I really want to steal one. I could possibly get kicked out of school for that though...so I'll just save up and buy my own. I especially like the keyboards. The keys type so nicely. I think I could even get used to pressing apple + c instead of ctrl + c to copy.

Now, for the song of the day. I think I'll go with City and Colour, since Dallas Green was on the Junos last night. The song is 'Against the Grain' from 'Bring Me Your Love', which is Dallas Green's second solo album. I'm not sure which lines are my favorite, but I'll go with:

You need not, to find a cure
For everything that makes you weak.

It's a slow and sad-sounding song, but it's actually uplifting. I might even go so far as to say inspirational. For those of you who missed the Junos last night, Dallas Green was dressed up like a nerd. He had a plaid bow-tie and big nerdy glasses. He makes nerds look good.

Dallas Green is probably one of the saddest singers I know. All of his songs are so sad and emo, but at least from his desperation he pulls beautiful songs.
