UBC/BCIT Biotechnology Honours Program

Currently: Procrastinating…

So, it’s been almost a month since I posted, and I have good reason! Life has been so ridiculously busy as of lately. Working, Studying, Partying… their getting to be quite the time-takers! So let’s catch up Blog World..

First off, I’d like to welcome all the new UBC Blog Squad members. Everyone needs to go check out their blogs right this second, my blog is boring.

Second, Let me fill you in on the UBC/BCIT Joint Honours Program in Biotechnology. So basically, this program starts in 2nd year. You go to BCIT for two years for their practical lab work and such (their lab equipment is a lot nicer than anything at UBC) Then you come back to UBC for another two years, so basically 5 years of full-time schooling (Honours programs require you to take at least 30 credits a term) BUT! The program is really awesome, and so far I am loving it. You travel around in your class of only 20 students together, and you become very very close with every single one of them. Of course, the courses are really hard, but if you can handle them this program is pretty awesome. But why do we go to BCIT you ask? Well, it’s for their lab equipment and skills. So far, the labs are pretty basic because its only been two and a half weeks, but looking ahead, we’re going to be doing some pretty awesome things. For example, create a Animal Cell Line (grow Animal Cells in a Medium) and do some Plant Cloning. All of this is happening in the first YEAR too. Going to be awesome. All you first year students, I would highly recommend looking into this program and if you think it’s something you would like to try, PURSUE IT! Feel free to contact me if any of you would like even more information!

As for my DJ Career, I still do Republic Thursdays, which have been a blast as usual. But most recently, I managed to get a timeslot at the one and only Doomsnight (Halloween Party at the PNE Coliseum)

This event is HUGE for me. PNE Coliseum Events have always been THE party for the Electronic Dance Community of Vancouver. Me, getting a timeslot there, is literally like a dream come true. Even if it is on the Talent Stage (front stage that isn’t TOO big) I don’t mind, it’s going to be a good party and I’m excited to be contributing to the night.
