A Day in Rec and Geography

Well, our time in Rec/Geog starts out already on the walk to the MC. We lovingly take along our favourite Japanarmenian, Matt Keoshkerian, most likely known to you as MKa$h, MJiggity, Mdollar, Son-of-Hratch, Matt-tuh, etc. Basically anything other than Matt Keoshkerian. (ps – he’s the resnet guy!)

So anyways, we take Matt with us on the way to class, and say hi to every Grebel person we see as obnoxiously and loudly as possible, to make it as uncomfortable for Matt as possible, and because we both love being in the spotlight and love the attention. A non-exhaustive list of people we see on the way to class are: Dan, Deanna, Becca, Khuong, Kim, Tim (you may not know him…he lives in the apartments. He is going to name his first child Bowser Blair), Alina, Ben, Sam, Sarah, Grace, Chris, and everybody else who is cool (Sorry Jason Booy!). All of these people normally obnoxiously say hello back to us. Matt, in an effort to make us stop, likes to steal our stuff, like our hats, but then our beautiful blond hair starts to blow elegantly in the wind, and we attract even more attention and Matt loses and we win.

So we get to the MC and have to walk up the stupid effing four flights of stairs! Like honestly! Four flights! Who does that. We get to class like one minute before class starts, and have to search the class for two seats side-by-side…sometimes it’s a challenge. Once class starts, it usually has something to do with New Zealand. This prof LOVES New Zealand. Like really…we’re not joking. Especially adventure tourism in New Zealand. Since this is a Rec/Geog class, we usually end up talking about Recreation or Geography, which is then boring for only one of us at a time, so one of us gets to dink away while the other sort of pays attention (if you hadn’t noticed, today Erik doesn’t know what’s going on…we’re learning about Marine Parks, which I (Amanda) already know about). Sometimes we have classes devoted solely to meeting with our groups for our group projects. Those classes are dumb. Erik usually spends his time eating in class. He loves eating in class! Today he had a peanut butter and jam sandwich which he ate quite noisily and a salad he can’t eat because he forgot a fork. Maybe he should have brought a spork. (Aside: we seem to be talking about dynamite fishing in class. Erik loves talking about the environment. He’s an enviro-geek). OH EFF SHE JUST TALKED ABOUT NEW ZEALAND AGAIN. Milford Sound or something, says Erik the enviro-geek.
