It turns out the old fashioned technology of knocking on doors leads to some fun times. Not having a computer or phone, in order to connect with people, I will just say, for example, to Amaury, "see you tomorrow", and having no idea when or how, we usually connect. Yesterday I just "popped in" to his apartment, and it led to an impromptu dinner party with Amaury and his Wisconsin roommate (oops, forgot his name) who is attending Illustration at RISD. It was his first time cooking he said (Wisconsin roommate), not his first time ever, but his first time in which if he didn't cook, he'd go hungry. It was spaghetti. I almost never just pop in on people, it's something my Mom used to do with her neighbours, but watch out, I just might try it in Vancouver! Here is a photo right after leaving Amaury's:

I don't feel quite as at home in my own apartment for some reason, I usually just leave in the morning at around 8 or 9, and come back around 8 or 9 in the evening, and eat the lunch that I pack. But the weather is so nice, I just leave the house wearing a t-shirt and come home in the same shirt, and it's completely warm! Here is the temperature a few minutes ago. 78 degrees. I've lost my farenheit/celsius translation skills - maybe 25 celsius?
Today I'm going to the painting department to check out the studios and sign up for my class, hopefully buy a phone - but maybe I shouldn't, this semester could be an experiment in non-phone, no-computer-owning living. I'll think about it. And will meet up with a German exchange student who is sounds like she is feeling as isolated as I did/do.
