Grrr my host group was so bloody lame. I was the only non-asian in it. Seriously. 90% of them were international students. I ended up ditching it.

What's wrong with Asians?

My host program was sucky, as well. My guy skipped that quiz thing, and then showed us the commerce student centre, the commerce computer lab, and then dropped us off at union lawn. Cos he rushed everything, we finished at 11:30. Kinda funny seeing groups still together later on in the day when I was looking for toilets (btw, to that guy who was sanding the stair handles or whatever you were doing at union house, you're a f'ing a-hole. I really had to go pee. :()

My group was 100% locals, I was the only asian there....

We didn't do the quiz thing, but walked around and stopped at the Queer Room at the Union House. Then that was it.

My group consisted of 11 people (I think):
White dude
Asian
White dude
Asian
Yank
Asian
Yank
Asian
Swede
Asian
Me

I didn't really talk to them. It's also been a long time since I've had to talk about myself. You know you have a stupid voice when even the international students make fun of it. -_-

My host group was lots of fun :D
We went the full duration pretty much (although we were three people short by the end...)

And since we're talking about the racial composition of our groups for some reason, mine was:
White
White
White
White
White
White
White
White
White
Asian

Please note that I do not have a problem in any way with asians, especially Japanese. I like their anime =]

We only answered one question, and we answered it wrong. Jamison, are you planning on coming tomorrow?

So are you just going to the course session, or the ones for individual subjects as well? Hope you get better soon.

Probably everything, I'm not sure which will be useful and which will be a waste of my time. Anyone have any enlightenment?

I think we finished around 1-1.30, although we disbanded in the middle for a bit. We played some games at the start, and our host showed us pretty much everywhere (e.g. every level of the library, etc.)

We about 3-4 questions of the scavenger hunt.

We didn't even go into the library. We just saw the 20% off signs on the windows and left.

Jamison, I'd like to know that too. I don't see how you're supposed to meet people there. Is it like the info sessions on AAD? I went to all of those, so if it's the same, I'd rather leave early. It'd make getting to the thing I have to go to afterwards much easier.
