First (and nearly second) week done!
Sep 14th, 2011 by kiely
Hey!
So I’ve been at UBC for nearly 2 weeks now. Here are some things I have learned thus far:
- Be outgoing and meet new people (but try and be meaningful and genuine in your conversation – a lot of people you’ll meet in the first bit you’ll never talk to again. Unfortunate, eh?)
- Try new things. I for one and working my way through the Ubyssey’s list.
- As soon as you start class, you’re already a month behind. Work hard!
One night I was sitting on the knoll and was offered to take a turn riding down it on a block of ice. I was happy, and maybe overly excited, to take the chance! Thanks to whoever it was that provided the ice block, I don’t think I ever got your name. 😀
Oh and being a pseudo food blog (actual review posts to come, promise!) I should mention something food-y. Tomorrow I’m going to training at Sprouts cafe in the basement of the sub. I’m super excited to be cooking for an establishment that sees a good amount of traffic from students. Also – I get to learn to cook as a vegetarian! I’m not sure if that will actually take much learning (I’m assuming I’ll mostly be baking, and I don’t think its vegan) but it will be a good experience.
And I’m getting used to the food here! I like that the meals at Totem are always varied and if I avoid the fries and such from the Grill it is decently healthy. Given up on trying to eat low carb but I’m still going to win my Freshma 15 bet.
Freshman 15 Bet (week 1): -1 lbs
I feel the same about the Totem food. Everyone lines up at the Grill when perfectly delicious international food and such has no line. I also don’t get the big deal about wraps. Food is confusing.
Oh, and I will help you with number 84 on the list.
Sliding down the knoll on a block of ice sounds epic! One of the perks of living on campus >:(
And, I suggest drinking green tea to help with losing the freshman 15. I’ve been drinking it for a week now, and that, coupled with free classes at the gym has led me to lose 3 pounds 😀
Of course, I’ll have to start doing drop in sports to keep up the weight loss 🙁
