Life at Mount Allison is well past its point of normality, and things have gone into more of a routine type lifestyle for everyone, myself included. But today was a nice little change in pace. I must say, everywhere I go, I always get the opportunity to do something for the first time lol. This time, it was watching the Olympic torch go down my street!
It wasn't even half an hour ago that a great majority of Sackville's population lined up along York Street to watch the mini parade of sorts. The Coke Truck passed us, as well as the Bell Vehicle (very nicely colored floats haha), giving out flags, products and such, and then finally, the 20 seconds that everyone had been waiting for...
"Do you want to pee, or do you want to be a part of history?"
The moment didn't even last too long, but it was great to be part of something not only with the student body, but with the city of Sackville too. So many days you go by here, thinking that the only people that live here are the university students. Today, we got to see everybody: the parents, the middle schoolers and toddlers. It didn't hurt to be a part of history too haha; it's the first time the torch has been here in over 20 years, so I was happy about that. Mountie Life rocks, sirs and madams :).
Nice try... I still like Pepsi better :P
Can I make an on-foot transaction?
Gone before it had barely begun.
