My first year I was on a waiting list, so i moved into residence the second week of Oct...

Now, my roommate wasn't a bad person; he was considerate, easy to get along with, not the coolest guy in the world - but definitely a character.

His hometown was Timmins Ontario, which is about a 10 hr. drive north of Ottawa, in the middle of nowhere. His personal philosophy was ppl from southern ontario couldn't drink or stand cold weater. And many times did he reiterate this to me. I swear to god it was minus 30 celcius one day (-27 fairenheit) and he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He's telling me how ppl are looking at him and going "what the UCKF?!"...conversely there's the drinking - in which he didn't do much of, but CONVINCED no one could outdrink him. One night he was drinking with some ppl from the floor above us (they wanted to test his bullshit drinking stories) and had him doing 2 shots for every shot all the girls did. He got so %*&#@ loaded, completely incoherent right after getting inside the bar they went too. From what everyone told me, he fell down the flight of stairs to the washroom and launched puke across every stall floor. On his way back, the french students (vince and pauline who were in the stalls with him), helped him back and we were deciding with this kid from egypt, (we had a lot of international students on these top rez floors) what to do. The only thing i remember when i saw him coming back was bouncing off the hallways like a pinball, because he couldn't walk worth a damn.

He pretty much wasted that yr., his grades were so bad that you couldn't base a g.p.a. on them. Now that i remember, the only time i saw his books were when we used them to hold the door open...
