The Master Procrastinator

School hasn’t even begun but the master procrastinator is already hard at work.

This is what happens when you procrastinate: hanging out with people.

No, I am not a hermit. No, I don’t consider hanging out with people a chore. But with 2 months of summer, can you really blame me to think that there is plenty of time to spend quality time with each and everyone of my friends and family? So whenever someone wanted to catch a movie or go hiking, my reply would be “Of course, just not tonight. Let’s hang out before I leave for BC.” Well you can guess how the story goes…

.

2 months quickly turned into 4 days and this is what my procrastination has left me with today:

– 4 crammed days of social activities (poor me, eh?)

– 3 um…frustrated friends whom I had to cancel on again. (Sorry guys, you know I still love you)

– 2 empty suitcases waiting to be filled. (uh-oh)

– 1 over tired, soon-to-be university student

Lesson learned: stop procrastinating?!?


…like that’ll ever happen.

Dum-dum-dum-dum: BACK TO SCHOOL!

Hmm, that title did not nearly have the effect I wanted it to. But you get the idea…dark, glooming music. Moving on…

My Mission: to find hot bikinis, beach totes and cute flip flops for the lake.

So picture me: Getting out of my car at the mall parking lot, all pumped for my weekend plans. And then BAM! I turn around and come face to face with this massive and disturbing sign at the mall entrance:

Back To School

“BACK TO SCHOOL!”

WHAAAT?!? Hold up, where did summer go? Is it just me or did this summer just pass by as quick as Brit and KFed’s marriage? (Yes, old news but I’m really out of the whole celeb gossip loop)

I guess in the midst of holiday trips, lazy days, backyard BBQs, parties and everything else fun in the sun, I just lost track of time. Even work has been amazing, since I work outdoors soaking up some sun (and yes, UV rays). But seriously, I could get use to this life.

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end (yes, I did just quote Nelly Furtado). The countdown is at 3 weeks, people! So let’s make every day count. Go ahead, squeeze in every last road trip, beach day, summer party and whatever else makes this summer so amazing! And I will see you in Vancouver very soon where the world of university with all nighters and midterms await us. (Sorry couldn’t resist ending with a little back to school preview)

All the JOYS of UBC life

UBC Blog Squad asks:

What you think your biggest challenge will be in your first year?

Save the date: September 8th 2009, marks day one of our FIRST YEAR AT UBC and the beginning of hell a new chapter of our lives. I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to all the joys of university life that I’ve heard my upperclassmen speak so…fondly of:

– Getting lost on UBC’s “sprawling” campus. (Yes, quoted from Maclean’s Guide to Canadian University which has been my bible for the past year)
– Cramming all my (contrary to what my mom says) necessities (hello, you never know when you’re going to need 30 shirts, 20 pairs of pants, 10 pairs of shoes, 5 jackets, a cowboy hat…can you tell I’m from Alberta?) into my new dorm room, the size of a broom closet.
– I heard you can sent university students into a frenzy of panic attacks with two words: MIDTERMS & FINALS. Yet to be tested, anyone want to be my lab rat?
– Vancouver = rain, rain and more rain. Good thing I have those 5 jackets.

Sarcasm aside, I think my biggest challenge in my first year will be:

Finding my place in UBC (making new friends, getting use to a new city, living away from home, getting use to all the changes…etc)

Well either that, or finding a way to cram my wardrobe into that broom closet.

Haven’t decided yet.
