I have done so much since I arrived, I don’t think I could capture my experiences all that well in words…to make this easier on myself, I am making a list.
In the past 3 days at UBC I have:
- Tried sushi, and loved it!
- Walked over 10 miles (16 km)
- Seen 2 naked hippies
- Made about 20 friends
- Moved into my dorm completely
- Gotten little sleep
- Eaten 7 apples
- Invited about 10 random people to go get dinner or explore (they all accepted!)
- Had Pita Pit at 11pm with a new friend I had met an hour before
- Talked to some of the most interesting people I could describe
- Had sushi a second time!
- Had a guy hit on me while riding a bike (who knew that was possible!?)
- Discovered what a great resource Facebook can be
- So much more.
So far UBC has been amazing. It has never been more easy to make friends. In fact, I spent this afternoon with a few new ones, going to dinner in town then heading down to Wreck Beach to see the sunset. I’ve met people from everywhere in the world (and befriended a good lot of them). I’ve also discovered that any free meal tastes delicious. All of this with just the international students…I am incredibly excited for everyone else to arrive. UBC is going to be an incredible experience.

First week will be fantastic, there is so much to do and so much free food to eat everywhere. Do everything, simply because you will not have another chance to be so free from school!
Yay sushi! What’s next? Oh, wanna try jellyfish?
What I want to do is find a Korean restaurant. I can feel all my latent Asian cravings suddenly appearing one by one…
I agree; it’s awesome. :)
