The first week of school… the first week of the year.  You know where everything is still new, fresh… exciting?  It’s wonderful.  One of my biggest worries in life is that I’m going to fall into a routine.

When you think about your future, do you see a 9-5 desk job?  I used to think, sure, maybe I’ll be satisfied with it as long as I get paid well and get enough time to do enjoyable.  It has a stability and certainty it in which puts away a lot of stress.  However, the more I visualize it the more scared I get of it.  I don’t believe jobs with rigid structures of tasks is a bad thing, but I don’t think it’s for me.

My fingers ran away on me just now.  The point is that I love the first week of school because everyday feels like an adventure.

By the way, happy new year everyone.  Did you make resolutions?

My friends tell me “It’s a new decade.  Now is the time.”

Last year my 3 day short lived resolution was to take a picture that reminds me of something special about that day.  Day 3 came along and nothing inspiring hit me by 12am of the next day so I just gave up.

I didn’t resolute anything for this year but everyday has been pretty interesting this week and I actually did take a picture everyday… so though I didn’t resolute it, I think I might try.  (The wonders of camera phone make this so much more attainable…)

A resolution just came to me… but really it’s more like a lazy way out.  I will (not resolute) but try, to make a post here every (at least) other day.  It’s the internet, vast amounts of storage,  I’m sure it’s fine if I make a few unfocused posts here and there…

So I will now share with you my 1st week of 2nd semester…
(I’m nothing like the talented Rabi, so you’ll have to bare with not so awesome pictures)

Jan 4: This has become my favorite place to nap.  It’s in the new section of Henry Angus.  Not a soul in a 50 m radius.  Does anyone else think the new Henry Angus is totally ballin’?

Jan 5: I hate how buttons scream PUSH ME.  Especially when you’re sitting next to them for a whole lecture.   Buttons are usually near the door too… so you can always press them on your way out without anyone shooting you the stink eye…

Jan 5 #2: Why I will be loving semester 2: I have 2 days where I will go home when it is still light out (as opposed to 1)

One of these is not like the other…. Do you see it?  Poor little Muk Muk is left out of the group and photoshopped into the corner =(

Jan 6: Exploring Sauder! I’ve always wanted a spiral stair case… The best thing about standard timetables for me, who is quite socially awkward, is that I actually get some classes with the same people and can therefore make friends… like that guy in the picture. (Shhh… he doesn’t know he’s on here)

Jan 7:  Being somewhere at a different time of day can make you see more even if you go to that same place everyday.  (I never noticed there were train tracks under there.)  Taking different routes to and from school is a good way to see more too.

Jan 8: Taken on the eerie path towards the Burnaby Public Library.  I should go to the library more often.

Another “project” I’ve taken onto myself is to try something that Rabi suggested in his posts.  To compile pictures of similar things, of which an example he used was your feet.  Since Dec 3 I have taken 9… which I guess isn’t a lot.  But I’m content with my progress.

Jan 9: My “adventure” today.
