Optical Prime

Today was the second day of Optometry orientation. We had to show up at 9:30 to take pictures and get lockers... which literally took about 10 minutes, and then we were all stuck with nothing to do until lunch at 12:30. A bunch of us went to Bomber for breakfast, where more socializing occurred. At lunch, we all got paired up with a Big Brother/Sister who is supposed to be our helper/guide for the year. Mine is a guy named Ernest, a nice sort of fellow who said he has lots to give me. Yay!
After lunch we did a short scavenger hunt. It was mostly for fun and time-killing; they didn't even collect the sheets after. Then we went off on our Essilor-sponsored evening. It started out with five-pin bowling (which I found out I suck at). We made it silly though with antics like bowling backwards or lying down and stuff. Afterwards we took a tour of the KW lab, and then had some dinner. It was decent too - a roll, salad, lasagna, and dessert!
We ended the night there unless people wanted to go to McMullin's for drinks (not on Essilor; maybe that's why nobody wanted to go). So I came back home to get notes and prepare for tomorrow, the first day of real class! I probably shouldn't be late, so off to bed I go!
Ohyeah, Optical Prime is the name of our class (probably). I love nerdy science jokes - optometry jokes are even better.
