TOMORROW’S IMAGINE DAY!

Imagine Day 2012

So obviously, I’m excited for Imagine day.  I can’t wait to run around UBC’s beautiful campus with people I’ve just met (and will hopefully be friends with in the future).  I especially look forward to the end of the day rally, when ALL the freshmen gather around in the stadium.  Imagine 7000+ students, each bellowing out our respective faculty pride!  In case you’re wondering, the kids frolicking in bright green (hello, bright green nail polish) will be the kinesiology students (on a side note, it is now the goal of everyone reading this to know the colours of all the faculties).

To be honest, though, I’m a little nervous about meeting people tomorrow.  How are you supposed to greet people you casually “met” online?  Formally introduce yourself, or act as if you’ve been buddies all along?  Awkward handshake and small talk?  And what if you forget someone’s name? There’s a whole lot of social pitfalls that could be out there tomorrow, and I’m doubtful about my ability to successfully navigate them all.  But no matter what happens, tomorrow will make for a good story 🙂

See you all tomorrow!

PS. Weather forecast? Sunny!

Hello world!

Welcome to UBC Blogs. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Nope. This is my first post!

Today, I woke up at 11:45am, rolled over to the other side bed to check my email, and subsequently saw that I have the green light to start my UBC blog.  And oh, yeah, I have a deadline. So here I am; excited, nervous, and ready to start something new!

But first, let me introduce myself.

Salutations! I’m Courtney. I’m part of 2012’s BlogSquad. I’m an eighteen-year-old Vancouver native going into my first year of Kinesiology.  Yes, it is no longer called Human Kinetics, but Kinesiology. No, UBC Kinesiology is not actually a faculty, but a school within the faculty of education. I’m here to provide my own insight on the things that you don’t hear much about!  That includes UBC’s kinesiology program, my horrendous daily commute to school, and my sport of choice: curling*.

Anyways, I’ve got a bunch of errands to do (back-to-school shopping, yay), so I’ll keep this post short.   Hopefully I’ll post again soon before Imagine day!

* I’m vehement about this: curling IS a sport, and one of the most objective ones out there. 🙂
