Em's Adventures

My brain is not on, so if this post flows poorly, blame term two. Before I begin though, I must ask, Does anyone know of a website that shows what’s going on in each room at a given time? I know that in the EOSC building, every room has a sheet outside of it that [...]

As the term approaches its end, I figured I might as well follow up my initial impressions with how all of my classes actually turned out. CPSC 101: Connecting with Computer Science Status: Bored Difficulty: 1/5 Interest: 4/5 This class moved up in the interest ranking not because it’s more interesting than I expected, but [...]

Warning: Philosophical post to follow I was thinking the other day, if we’re so young and this is so difficult, what am I going to do for the rest of my life? I imagined that life gets more difficult as you go on – at the beginning, you do nothing for yourself except breathe and [...]

With midterms season upon us, I have switched from “Alright! Let’s go to class and do homework so I don’t get behind!” mode to “Blaaaahhhhhhh, I think Halo sounds like a better idea” and generally more complainy mode. Anyways, being the complainer that I am, there have been a few things that have been bothering [...]

Hey everyone! Now that I’m officially back in the UBC mode, I can officially start blogging again. I don’t know how you people blog so often, I have to be in the mood and have a good idea (or at least a rambling stream of ideas). So finally, I have adequately cleaned up the horrendous [...]

In both a good and a bad way. 2 weeks left until the end of the term. That’s also 2 weeks that I have to learn all of physics, some of math, and all of organic chemistry. I used to feel smart. I used to be that kid who didn’t have much difficulty in classes. [...]

But change is. For all of you not knowing what to do “From here,” listen to Rush and remember that there’s always change. It’s well established that I want to be a pastry chef. No question about that (except maybe a little nagging part of me that says “Oh no! You might not like it!” [...]

It’s pretty much agreed that one of the hardest topics to write on is yourself. There’s so much I can say about myself, I mean, nobody knows you better than yourself, but the hard part is, what do people actually care about? I wear a watch. I have green eyes. I enjoy people-watching. I am [...]

And I don’t mean the band (even though Don’t Stop Believing from my Journey & Rush playlist is on right now). It’s almost the end of the break. Yay! 2 days and 18 hours left. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy my time in California, there are some things that California has that Vancouver [...]

So it’s the infamous first week of finals and my plans are to study. Lies. Lies. Lies. Today I planned to go to Metrotown to buy some sweatpants and other various things, but instead I slept in until 2:30. But I had time to do that since I studied over the weekend. More lies. On [...]
