TO THE STUDENTS OF UBC:

Today marks my first State of the Union address to you, a blogging duty that may be as old as blogging itself, but probably isn’t.

In any event, I haven’t written a post in a while and so I thought I should give an account as to what I’ve been doing (other than neglecting you).

In brief:

• I got a job working at the Totem Cafeteria. I’m the one with the name tag with my name on it. Be nice and say hello because I make your food.
• I am in five classes (three that have continued from last term: SOCI 100, ASTU 100A, and PHIL 100, and two that are new: POLI 110 and GEOG 122). Ask me questions about them if you want.
• I am still participating in UBC debate (ask me about that too if you want) and love it.
• I delivered a speech in Calgary this month (they paid for my flight! They love me, they really love me!)
• I’m close to thinking about picking a major. (Psychology.)

It’s been a really weird term so far with a lot of ups and downs and I think maybe part of the reason why is that I know what to expect this term and everything isn’t all shiny and new like it was in September. It feels too soon to be jaded but that’s the closest thing I can think of to describe how I’m feeling at the moment.

Things can only go up, right?
