Month: November 2010

If you’re a fan of MTV’s hit show The Buried Life and you’re a student at UBC, you’re in luck!

The guys from The Buried Life are keynote speakers at this year’s Student Leadership Conference on Jan 8th, 2011. If you’re not familiar with the show, well, you should be! The four guys (Ben, Jonnie, Duncan, and Dave) from Victoria, BC are crossing off items from their list of 100 Things To Do Before [They] Die. In addition, “whenever they cross something off [their] list, they help a stranger cross something off theirs.” The result is an inspirational journey that’s entertaining, full of good music, and laughs (the guys are hilarious together!).

If you want to sign up, it costs $33.60 including HST. But if the price intimidates you (we are poor uni students) know that the price includes lunch, workshops, and other speakers. Also, that price is about a week’s worth of Starbucks, so if you’re super broke, just skip coffee for a week!

Here’s the link to the website where there’s tons more information on the other speakers, and where you can sign up yourself: http://slc.ubc.ca/

…I feel like a bad fan. 🙁

I haven’t gone to see the Deathly Hallows yet!

Like always, I’m just worried that seeing the movies will change the way I picture the novel in my mind. In a way, it always does, but it’s not necessarily bad, I guess. It’s just, there’s a way you picture certain scenes in the book and I’m not sure if any movie, no matter how amazing, could ever capture.

I’m probably going to see it this weekend anyway.

PS. This post makes it seem like I’m not excited to see the movie – but that’s not the case. I’m super stoked! I just get weird sometimes.

Dang! Winter is officially here.

With the first snow of the season, I’m starting to wonder about the rest of the winter this year. I mean, if it’s only November, and we already have snow, what’s December going to look like?

It’s already pretty cold on campus, and it kind of sucks when you’re walking to the bus loop at 5pm and it’s already dark. On one hand, I really want it to snow, because I FREAKIN’ LOVE SNOW, but on the other hand, it’s no fun having to put on 5 layers of clothes just to walk to class.

Anyway, I hope everyone’s good, and having fun in the snow!
