Comment on The Up-side-down Tree! by Robert Godfrey

A tree planted upside down, with branches beneath the soil and roots in the air, will die. Leaves will not sprout from roots.

The Boab tree, an African species is all appearance and myth, not fact.

Also, Camperdown elm (also known as the “umbrella tree” or “weeping elm”), a sterile species discovered in Dundee, Scotland, is grafted onto the trunk of another species of elm. Camperdown’s limbs are winding, giving the appearance of roots. The graft is typically obvious on the trunk.

Photographs of a Camperdown elm can be seen at

I have a list. I’ll find it later and post.

But I love unexpectedly bumping into good friends on campus that you don’t see often and being able to pick up as if no time has gone by. Warm fuzzy: ding!

Oh, and to go with the running: warm bath after an especially long and hard jog in the cold.

Comment on Resolutions.. shiver by Humaira

I’m one of those too, and that’s precisely the reason I don’t make New Year’s resolutions for myself. Rather, just set goals throughout the year whenever it occurs to me, and steer well away from the “R” term. I’d say you have a pretty good list here though =)

Great post, Miranda!

This career event provides all Arts students with an opportunity to hear answers to career questions, and many more, from Arts Alumni who have transformed their degree into a wide range of successful and rewarding careers. The audience will be Arts undergraduate students, all years, all majors in various stages of career certainty or uncertainty.

Get the answers to those tricky questions you can get from a website or book you may have about your field of interest, right from the source!

As co-chair for the Arts Career Expo, I am proud to announce we will be highlighting 38 diverse and successful UBC alumni throughout 11 panels on a wide variety of career options related to Arts degrees.
You can sign up for 2 panels and wrap up the night at our Mix and Mingle.
Check out our website for further details on who the panelists are, what the panels are and location info, etc.

Its sure to be an informative and exciting evening! Stick around for the mix and mingle in the SUB ballroom where you can enjoy tasty appies and refreshing beverages and get a chance to talk personally with the alumni, recognizeable by their purple lei’s- network!

I hope to see you there and I promise not to disappoint!

Cheerio

Hi Miranda

Can we take you up on your offer? I’m with the Arts Expo organizing committee and we’d love to have you as one of our blog reporters for the event.

And yes – there’s lots of networking and career connections that happen at EXPO. Between 5:30 and 7:30 everyone chooses to attend two, 50 minute alumni discussion panels. (There are 11 to choose from). Then from 7:30-8:30 all students and alum congregate together at the SUB ballroom for great food, networking etc.

Drop me a line and we’ll set you up with a “special guest pass”

Carol

Hmmmm. Exposition, maybe?
One sec, I’ll check Wikipedia.

Ok, it is short for exposition. And can also be called “World Fair” though in this case I don’t think that is entirely accurate.
I love wikipedia.

Comment on Where’s the Handle..? by Humaira

I have no time to watch these now, but this is definitely a dangerous path you’ve lit for us dearie.

I’ve watched Dunham with Achmed in exam seasons past, and it is hilarity. Especially at those points where you’ve studied much longer than you humanely should and everything, no matter how mundane, are transformed into the funniest thing you’ve ever heard in your life.

A-H-phlem…
