First Days

So as you may have guessed by my extraordinarily original title, this post is about the first three days I’ve spent at UBC. Nothing particularly eventful has occurred so far, but most of what I have experienced has been enjoyable.  I moved into residence on Saturday, which was not a big deal, as I’m only living about an hour from where my family lives. Res is great. I’m enjoying the kitchen, and, surprisingly, cooking for myself. I’m still not used to the sense of freedom that accompanies living residence, as I can pretty much do what I want without having to worry about other people’s schedules.

Despite my fairly uneventful few days, I’ve had some stereotypical university experiences, such as eating scrambled eggs directly out of the frying pan with two other people because all the places to eat were closed. However, the best part about university so far seems to be getting to know people. I’ve had conversations with completely random people, such as the one I had with an exchange student in the grocery store while we were trying to decide what type of peanut butter to buy. Interacting with people here has been so comfortable, since everyone is in the position of having to make new friends.

The gist of this post seems to be that so far, I like university. I can’t wait for classes to start; I almost prefer the school year to the summer because I love being busy and having the challenge of schoolwork.

On a random note, go check out my about me page. You can see my beautiful face, along with all of my interests.
