b-l-o-g, its my first blog since '93

i hope no one has forgotten about me.
i'm back in the game, well for the first time i guess. now that dan has completely straightened me out as far as this whole site is concerned, expect me to be here regularly. i still might need some rope-showing from you guys, but i should be fine.
so wow whats going on? is school treating everyone well? i handed in my first paper this week...and had three tests. its not too bad so far though. there are only four people in my english class, which is pretty fucking cool. our teacher said she would take us to her house and get pizza and stuff. even go on field trips maybe.
how is the friend making going? kylie and i have made a couple and its pretty cool. i miss all you guys though, shitloads. i can't wait till thanksgiving, we definitely need to get it poppin'. i'll be home thursday night of next week so drop me a line people!

Update On Your SMU Bud

Hey Buds,
So I have been at SMU for about....4 and a half weeks and have had classes for 3 weeks and I am loving it buds! I have been meeting more and more people now especially in my classes! Note: Drinking and meeting people sucks because when you are sober and see them again yes they know me but i don't know them because I met them when I was loaded! I don't really remember my frosh week i went through unrecorded amount of Captain, knocked out all my records of drinking! The picture is a good example of what I looked like all frosh week! I was at DAL getting drunk with Dan and we are on our way to SMU to eat alphagettti and watch Friends episodes, and was suppose to drink more but couldn't! It's been a blast! So far with the work and reading so good I have had 2 assignments so far and both of those assignments I got an A+ on which is great! ( PS Alex it was in calculus). I have partied with the DAL boys pretty much at least one night a weekend which I love, I would probably be home sick ALOT if I didn't have them 7 minutes away! Mel is awsome she has fed me, helped me with studying habits and hosted for Dan and I every Sunday for supper! Well now that your all caught up on my life Buds I am going to go read some Dark Ages literary short stories!! WOOT
Bye Buds

This is my life now.

Hey buds!

It's Al-Baer, you might remember me, I used to live in the same town as you, back in the day.

I hope you've all been having as much fun as I have! It's certainly been a very, very wild ride, so I'll try to do a quick recap and highlight of everything that's been happening.

Frosh week was pretty fun - even though it wasn't really my thing. I was "Bush" Frosh, which meant that whenever the upper year students said so, I had to run and jump headfirst into a Bush. I was brutally scratched up and bleeding constantly, and I'm pretty sure I broke my toe. I also developed this intensely painful bump on my foot, that I've recently been told is called a "callous". It really hurts, even to this day.

Um, I'm taking chemistry, physics, calculus, english and psychology. There is nothing that really interests me. I'm in Chemistry for majors, which is ridiculously hard, and apparently 75% of the class is going to drop it sometime before next year. So that's reasurring... at least I'm not being set up to fail :|.

I really like the people here at Acadia, some of them are intensely cool. I honestly believe that I live on the best floor of the best residence at the University, and if you'd like to hear my scientific explanation of this then just ask. I was voted floor rep so I am on house council, and I basically just go and rep 3-C (third floor Christofor). There have been a lot of cool parties, most notably "Hell Night", "Stop-light party", and "Anything but clothes".

In chem lab I have to wear special lab glasses that fit over my own regular glasses, because if I wear contacts I will get chemicals in my eyes and die. I also have a lab-coat... So essentially, I'm a sexy little thang whenever I'm measuring pressure or figuring out ideal gas equations in the lab.

One thing about University that I've noticed is that I have violent mood swings - I got back my first calculus assignment and the mark was less than I had hoped for, so I basically wanted to drop out and cry. But then I'll go get a piece of pizza, or do some heroin, and then I'll feel better.

I joined Jazz band, (AND SWEET JESUS IT'S THE HARDEST THING EVER), which was okay, but I hope it doesn't screw me over and subsequently drop my average.

Well, I guess this is everything for now... I'm sure there are more things, but I'm sitting here with some friends playing 360 and I should probably study physics or psychology or write thank you notes or do one of the other 1000 things I should probably be doing right now.

Love Alex.

Uni Update

Well, It's day two here at Dalhousie, and it seems to be going pretty good so far. I made a couple friends, as well as hanging out with the old buds. Did some frosh stuff which was fun, but it's still weird that when i walk down the hallways, I'm expecting to see a good friend that I know, but there's not lol.

In time I'll have to see how things go, as for me, I'm going to watch some TV
Peace out
