Does anyone know of a guy from JWOC that is at Dalhousie this year? This guy crossed paths with me today on campus and said "yea, JWOC," so I'm assuming he must have been at JWOC in order to know that I was there, but I have no idea who he is. I'm also quite certain he said JWOC. I really should have stopped him and asked who he was but I was too confused to react quickly. I don't really know what he looked like except he was blond and taller than me, which doesn't really rule many people out. And I'm really bad at recognizing people so I probably wouldn't be able to pick him out again if I saw him. Anyways, if anyone knows who it is, please tell me as it's really been bothering me that I can't figure this out.

Just sit back on the Kings steps and wait for him to stroll through the Quad. That's where all the cool kids will end up anyway. How was Frosh Week this year?

This years frosh seem kind of weird. One girl (person?) came down to Alex Hall front desk to complain that she didn't like having to define herself as having a specific gender everytime she had to go to the bathroom, so she thought there should be general neutral bathrooms (which are different from co-ed). Alex Hall is co-ed this year though, which is earth-shattering. And I told Alan Hall that I met you and he said that he thought that you had sent him an email a while ago but it got deleted with all the junk mail he gets. Well, there's your daily dose of King's gossip.

PS, I saw this guy right outside the math building, so the odds are pretty good he's not a King's student!

Alex Hall is co-ed?!! Say it ain't so. No more walks of shame for the ladies.
Glad to hear that Math/Sci types are still avoiding Kings, except I'm sure to play on the sports teams and to go to the Wardroom.
Weird Frosh always lead to many crisises in the fishbowl of Kings. My FYP tutorial was full of them.

Hey Carol, was he good looking? I mean, that seems to be the most important piece of information here.
Imagine, dating a good looking orienteer. I'd be running searches everywhere if I were you. You could even borrow a german sheperd, make him smell an orienteering flag and locate the man ;-)

Maybe he was just commenting on you having crossed the street illegally?

Actually, come to think of it, that might of been it. It doesn't really make sense cause I wasn't the only person jaywalking there, but maybe he was just weird, and it does make more sense than have a random unknown orienteer in a Halifax

Maybe he was from Toronto.

There was an episode a few years ago when a local paper here interviewed one of our promising juniors and reported that he was a likely prospect for the Australian jaywalking team.

Wow that team could make a killing in Montreal - great place for training anyway.

Check the Dal Cross-country roster when it's out, any chance you're training with them Carol?

Maybe Leno was trying to recruit you for one of his Jay Walking competitions. You were wise to ignore him; but heck you might have actually known, "What country is south of Canada?"

isn it Southern Canada???
Sep 14, 2006 1:21 PM #

I think there are about 34 countries south of Canada, maybe more, depending on how you do the counting.

Aren't there over 50 countries, just in Africa?

And Boston (42°19'N) is indeed south of Hamilton (43°15′19″N), to clear up that controversy.

jjcote:
Africa's not directly south of Canada. The 34 I mentioned are countries that you can get to by going due south from Canada. Like I said, it depends on how you do the counting.

Did you include France?
Sep 14, 2006 6:10 PM #

No, I left out France, UK, and Netherlands.
