Yes, it’s a beautiful picture of a beautiful place, but why is it here?
well, thanks for asking! ;)
I was thinking of a way to introduce myself to the readers and I came up with an awwweeesome idea!
Instead of writing down the things in which you can all categorize me (age, place of birth, eating habits, preferences, etc) I will post pictures of people and places that inspire me. Because that’s what will make this blog happen: inspiration.
I’m officially nervous.
Jump Start begins the 17th of August and time is flying. Has it really been five months since I accepted my offer? wow. It feels like less than a space between two words. But still, here I am: writing my first blog for UBC (my first blog ever, actually).
I have a list of things to do, a list of things to take, a list of things to buy and a list of things to leave. Is it easy to notice that I like lists? I also have a list of friends to miss and a not-for-long-empty list of friends to meet.
I feel scared but ready; happy.
I’m sitting under a cherry tree, thinking of the hundreds of yous out there, in the world, feeling kind of like me: trying to decide which laptop to get (go for the mac!) or if it’s really worth it to get a fridge (is it?). Wondering if you’ll get along with your roommate or neighbor (are you out there Okanagan House 412?)…
It’s almost time to say goodbye and leave with much enthusiasm packed in your bags. How about a coffee when we get there?
It has been more than two weeks in UBC and I can’t believe it!
Jump Start has been totally amazing, I can’t imagine how my UBC life would look like if it wasn’t for this awesome program. Really, I am ready! I know the basic campus structure (it’s so big that I don’t think I’ll ever know everything), I got my computer (lovely mac), I met lots of people (including Em, my fellow blogsquadder) and I had A LOT of fun.
So, if you see me around campus when you come in with bags and maps, ask me for help! I can help you! :)
Moving on to my favorite places on campus…
I know that I have been to almost nowhere when you take into consideration the size of this place, but I have found some really memorable places.
I have now moved into my shared room in Tweeds. There’s enough space for everything but it’s quite white. So if you haven’t packed yet, do yourself a favor and put some colorful stuff in you bags!
