favourite hangouts on-campus 3:20 PMI've been talking too much about the University Centre and Elizabeth Dafoe Library; I finally brought my camera out Monday so as to document and share these favourite hangouts with people back home.
University Centre (UC) and the U of M Bookstore
Interior of UC - 3 stories high and consists of all kinds of shops - the U of M bookstore, 2nd-hand bookstore, florist, travel agency, hair salon, a bar, food outlets etc. Food outlets are limited in number and variety though.
GPA convenience store leh! Haha.. and now the amazing U of M Bookstore I've been swooning about:
This is really a good place to while time away in the afternoons, just because there is so much to look at - stationery, books, electronics, cards, little gifts (from china pieces to kitchen utensils..!), but what's REALLY eye-catching is its entire section on U of M souvenirs!
Hoodies and running tops - I'm eyeing the latter! Haha.
Ladies and guys' tees
Even baby clothing and all kinds of bags (and I really mean all kinds, from laptop bags to totes, slings and backpacks!)
HUMAN series tees that I kinda like.. though people back home'll prolly think I'm just "um"-ing away, haha.
A whole lot of cards and books of all genres, nice.
So really, the bookstore's one of my favourite hangouts cos I always find something new every time to look at. Book-browsing here is interesting too, cos their collection is rather diverse. :)
Elizabeth Dafoe Library
Also the main library on campus (there are 9 libraries in all), the Elizabeth Dafoe Library is a popular place due to its vast collection of course reserves, research materials and academic journals (and not forgetting Starbucks)! It is always crowded during lunch-time, though the Starbucks on-campus does not offer that great a selection of drinks.
Research area, and what I always have with me during my weekly Monday film readings
The library is 3 stories high and these depict only a small portion of every level, so it's really kinda huge. But all libraries on-campus only offer academic materials and journals, so no fiction at all unless you visit a public library.
Haha.. okay.. 'nuff said!
Couple other random shots
Administration Building at Chancellor's Circle
Duckworth Quad
Maybe I should in my spare time document significant places on campus and make it into a series of U of M memories as well, haha. Just a random thought.. hmmm.

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
