another letter from UBC.

Posted on by

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever received a letter before that wasn’t related to school in some way.

The letter is about the first day of school.  aka IMAGINE Day/Orientation.  Here is what was inside among the letters:

I AM UBC.
A nifty sticker!

Is it supposed to be a bumper sticker?  Could you see yourself driving around with it on though… whatever, free stuff is always nice.  I guess it will come in handy if I develop a case of school spirit.

Another interesting thing about the little package,

It says "Swing Space"

It says "Swing Space"

I’ve very curious to find out what this is… and if it’s what I’m imagining.  Which I doubt.

Also on the map is a building called “Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre.”  Could it be?  Is it for the Olympics??

The first time I heard that the mascot for UBC is a Tunderbird, I immediately thought of Zapdos from Pokemon.

"I CHOOSE YOU!"

"I CHOOSE YOU!"

IMAGINE sounds like it should be a pretty good time.  Why do I capitilize IMAGINE?  I don’t know, that e-mail from UBC types it that way… but not the letter.  Those free root beer floats they speak of sound very enticing.  I am not, however, looking forward to getting to school by 8:15 am.  That is earlier than the time I woke up at for high school.  I guess it’ll be an adventure.

By the way, who is planning to buy their textbook at the Textbook Exchange? (Sept 8, 4-5pm, Koerner Plaza) Where do we find what books we need anyway?

  1. Swing Space has a lecture hall or two, and lots of smaller rooms for tutorials or smaller classes. If you take Econ 101/102, at least with Prof Gateman, your tutorial sections will most probably be in that building.

    Welcome to the Blog Squad!

  2. I usually like to look at a bottle as if it’s half-full: there’s not a whole lot to regret over missing Commerce Frosh. You’ll get to meet your STT friends sooner or later — after all, you’ll be stuck with them for an entire year. Besides, there’s Imagine Day (the more civilised, alcohol-free version of Frosh)! Tons of excitement and freebies on the day.

    Swing space… not quite a playground, nor for Swing dancing. I’ll leave it to your imaginations 😛

    Yup, the Imagine Day rally will be taking place in the Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre this year — quite a walk from campus, but an exciting change from the War Memorial Gym. You guessed it! Olympics it is.

    Zapdos? I’d rather go with Charmander.

    Textbooks… try Craigslist. Welcome to UBC — exciting times await!

  4. OH EM GEE.
    A Sauderite! 😀

    Psyduck ftw.

    And you’re not headed to Sauder Frosh 5th-7th? D:

  9. Yes, I was totally in tune with that. So was my Dad. He said he will check it out tomorrow. We will return before you can say anything.

  10. All very true, but I don’t support what you say myself. I will stick the more traditional view. But I without doubt support your right to say what you want. Fascinating anyway.

  13. Hello!
