The tour went well . . .

. . . it's a tough sell in deep snow and icy wind, but Trent's main campus is well laid-out and looks very impressive. The tour guide we had was quite well informed, although she did try to push prospective students into her area (Women's Studies).

I only embarassed Victor once during the tour.

Our guide was pointing out the separate area in the dining room of (I think it was) Champlain College, where the alternative café is located. They only serve vegetarian/vegan "Fair Trade Certified" dishes, and are not included in the food plans. I asked her if they required payment in "Cruelty-Free Currency". Victor hit me.

And you got off very lightly indeed. I'm surprised that you're not up on hate crime charges for that little remark. And that would be the least of it. Make a crack like that at York or U of T, and it's straight off to the ovens with you. That said, I admit that I committed a bit of a thought crime mtyself in reading your first paragraph:

Yowzer!

Yeah, you're not the only one to point out that depressing little thought over the last couple of days. Posted by: Nicholas at February 19, 2007 11:45 AM
