Tip of the Post:
I took my first shower today (on campus, I mean). I’m pretty sure I was the first to do so this morning because it was COLD! And not just for five seconds or anything. The water takes about 10 minutes to heat up! Anyways, I found a way of speeding things up a bit: turn the tap to cold and then hot repeatedly. You get these bursts of hot water that last a split second longer each time. If you just leave it on hot, it stays cold. Weird, eh?
So much for being freaked about university! I love it here! I’m looking out my window right now (which, incidentally, is on Korea-UBC’s third floor) and I have this pretty view of two Doug Firs and some rhododendrons. It reminds me of the forest back home. And my room is finally finished – perhaps a little over decorated, but comforting all the same. And I love the sense of community here! If you keep your door propped open, someone will always come by for a chat. It’s really nice, especially since I’m used to living out in the boonies and never, ever, EVER seeing my friends.
It’s Imagine Day tomorrow, and then classes start on the 3rd. It’ll be weird to actually have to apply myself again… I feel like I’m at summer camp.
That is all.
