Whale of a Tale

I actually had fun in Actuarial Maths tutorial today, I'm back into the swing of algebraic manipulations to solve problems, and I did really well on my last homework sheet. Plus I had the first tutor thus far who actually over-explains, which is awesome. Usually they half-answer a question and rush off.

We watched Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for my adventure stories class today, and boy do I have a whale of a tale to tell ya. The room we were in was innocuously named Arts G19, but it's actually "The Alfred Hitchcock Studio." It looks like a mini old-fashioned movie theater- carpeted, a couple rows of stadium seating with large, red plush movie theater-style seats (but way more comfortable and with padded arms), and a red curtain that pulls back from in front of the projector screen. I personally enjoyed the classy love seats set up in front of the chairs, and enjoyed my movie viewing curled up on one of those. I'm seriously taking pictures sometime, it was really really nice.

I met up with Vanessa after that, and we went to a Chinese food buffet with a friend (Hassan, I think) who's been helping her with her computer. While we were there, four of his friends came in and sat down with us, and we ended up staying and talking for three hours. It was really fun; a lot of the guys were slightly disgusted by my idea of microwaving a bit of Nutella to function as hot fudge to put on ice cream, but Damien thought it sounded like a good idea. Granted, this is the kid who established a four-plate minimum for the buffet. I also really enjoyed how they were planning to put a whoopie cushion on a professor's chair, thinking it seemed like the greated prank of all time. Maybe it's only overdone in the US?

I'm finally almost done with my reading for tomorrow- just one more chapter!- and have actually finished all of my maths homework that's due Monday. Vanessa and Caitlin came over and we all talked for a while, and I helped Vanessa with her probability homework a bit; I also finished making my mint brownies, so those are in the fridge ready to go for tomorrow!
