Currently: Sitting at his new place, putting a new episode of Lost Season 3 onto his USB Drive so he can watch it through his PS3.
Today was Imagine 2009, and it was quite the experience. The day started off with me getting up at around 6:45am to go shower. Since today would be the first full day alone with my new place, I had to make my own breakfast. Due to the rushing nature of today, I settled with a bowl of cereal. It’s fast and easy, without losing out on the taste. I left my place at around 7:25am to go catch the “33” bus. I got on the first one that came by (surprisingly) and got to school around 7:50am. I quickly met up with some friends then went over to meet my MUG Group.
My MUG Group was “Astatine” (Yay Science!). At first, it was a very awkward situation to be in, but as the day progressed, it got less and less awkward. I managed to meet two new guy friends, and even have a class with one of them. It’s the first two people I’ve actually connected with at UBC, and I’m excited to meet more. After we did a couple of Ice Breakers, we learned our cheer. “WE ARE SEXY, WE ARE BLUE, WE WILL TAKE YOU ALL TO SCHOOL. WE ARE SMART, YOU WILL SEE, WE ARE SCIENCE UBC!!”, it’s a pretty good one, I like the one that our Squad 33 Leaders came up with. “We Are Science, What What!?, We are Science!, What What!?, We Are Science, What What!? Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-What!? WE ARE SCIENCE!” At this point, I thought we stood no chance against Sauder (This was all about to change).
After our cheer lessons, we had a Q&A Session with our MUG Leaders and a Prof. It was somewhat informative, most of the stuff I already knew just from doing my own research. They gave us “staged” questions to ask the Profs and Leaders, and I happened to get one that read “Would you rather win the Noble Prize (without the money) or the Stanley Cup/ an Emmy?” This one was obviously directed towards the Prof. and he answered it beautifully. He told me that if he won the Noble Peace Prize for something that he’s worked all his life on, it would be worth way more to him than an Emmy/ Stanley Cup and the fame that comes along with it.
As the day progressed, we just went around walking and talking, taking tours of the Campus (You know, the boring stuff) But then it FINALLY came down to the Pep Rally… and I wasn’t expecting that many people. Thunderbird Arena was practically FULL. When it came down to cheering, they gave all the Science Faculty Students the long skinny blue balloons (Which kicked all the other balloons ass) I can honestly say that Sciences BEAT Sauder this year, Sauder’s cheering was weak. It’s okay Sauder, we know you tried. Overall today was just a really fun day, and It made me really excited to start classed tomorrow. I’m sorry I can’t upload the pictures I took today because I left my Camera’s USB Cable at my Mom’s Place. In the future I may edit this post and put them up!
