#109: Grande Prairie, holla!
The semi-abandonment of this blog aside, I’ve arrived in one piece in Grande Prairie for my summer co-op term working with Service Canada!

Irck!
Irck! This is the sound of my second failed attempt to apply to a UBC Childcare position through CareersOnline.
Last time I waited until the last day it was accepting applications before I set about getting my documents together, only to find that the posting had disappeared. I thought perhaps I had remembered wrong; my bad.
This [...] Continue reading

#107: The future is exciting.
Of no real significance; a brief update on upcoming things. In approximately a month, I’ll be leaving for Grande Prairie, AB for the summer for a work placement through Arts Co-op. I have taken a four-month job with Service Canada as a Youth Services Officer, and am rather excited, albeit slightly nervous. Essentially, I’d be [...] Continue reading

Continuing the ‘Lost’ Journey
Hmm, my Blog Squad avatar seems to have disappeared from my front page. This is a little disconcerting, but not enough to push me to find out why. School is ridiculously busy at the moment (as it always is at this time of year).
For those of you who are interested in this kind of thing, [...] Continue reading

In your third year, you don’t know that you know…
This is something I once heard (in Chinese):
In your first year of university, you don’t know that you don’t know.
In your second year, you know that you don’t know.
In your third year, you don’t know that you know.
In your fourth year, you know that you know.
And that, my friends, would describe my university education perfectly.
Just [...] Continue reading

#096: Arts Career Expo 2010
Currently listening to: “Diplomat’s Son” – Vampire Weekend
I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 Arts Career Expo last night: an evening of panel discussions with notable UBC Arts alumni in a myriad of fields ranging from fine art to international affairs, followed by a mix-and-mingle with the panelists (alongside an absolutely delightful array of [...] Continue reading

What are your motivations?
Yesterday, after a talk with the EIESL team (Ethics of International Engagement and Service Learning) a friend of mine sent me this video and I think that it’s something that every person has to consider before engaging in any kind of ‘volunteering.’

Official Member of [Insert Club Name Here]
Currently: Uploading some most Lost Episodes onto my USB Drive so I can watch some more.
This past half week has been dedicated to Clubs. Clubs everywhere, handing out pieces of paper, majority of which, get thrown in the garbage / recycling bins. I was surprised to see the vast array of different clubs that UBC [...] Continue reading

Halfway Through, Halfway There
No doubt this is partially the influence of my UK and Hong Kong friends who are doing three-year undergraduate degrees and will be graduating in the spring and summer of 2010 — now that I am midway through my own university career, I find myself frequently assessing what I’m doing here and what I’m going [...] Continue reading

Latrodectus Hesperu
More commonly known as the Black Widow Spider. Today was supposed to be a normal day at work, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s a Thursday, meaning that theres no Produce Trucks coming in, there’s no freight, there’s nothing to do but make my Produce Department look perfect. But today was one of those days [...] Continue reading
