Don’t you hate it when you’re forced to fall asleep to the methodical sounds of Skrillex? I know I certainly did when I had a mid-term the following morning at 9AM. I made it though, I made it through all of my mid-terms! Granted, not without a few minor bumps along the way. For instance, I woke up at 8:52 one morning, it just so happened that on that particular day I had a mid-term at 9:00 in Irving K. Barber . I’m sure you can picture my horror as I sprinted down from sixth floor with no breakfast or grooming. It was quite a sight. So, if you happened to have seen an out of breath blonde girl sprinting from Vanier, it was probably yours truly.
Anyway, moving right along, I’ve been in Vancouver a little over a month and a half! And, I really only have one question for all you home-grown Vancouverites.. when will it stop raining? The unsettling aspect of that question is.. I’m serious, and you’re probably laughing at me. I do realize it’s only been raining for a couple days, but the Sun has been eclipsed by rain clouds. Does it exist? Before moving here, rain didn’t bother me because it usually went away by the following day. But here, everything is always wet, it’s like a perpetual cycle of puffy hair, wet book bags and bright umbrellas.
Speaking of the rain, I had to walk umbrella-free in it because I accidentally boarded the wrong bus. See, I go to Wesbrook Village an unhealthy amount. Coming from Nova Scotia, I had no idea what Menchie’s was. So, I’m positive you can imagine my enthusiasm when I was formally introduced a few weeks ago. It’s safe to say that if I gain my freshman fifteen it will be a direct product of nightly Menchie runs. Anyway, I boarded the wrong bus, there’s no way around it. I thoroughly ‘small-towned’ my way to the middle of SW Marine Drive when I had to hop off at the most obscure bus stop ever known to man. But, I feel as if I’ve been officially inducted into UBC now. I have completed a long list of first-year clichés! Go me.
Oh, and I did have pizza for Thanksgiving dinner. Go Domino’s!
