Anna-introducción

Hola a todos!

Me llamo Anna y estoy en mi segundo año en UBC. Nací en San Jose, Costa Rica pero crecí aquí en Vancouver. Mi especialización en UBC es el español. Me interesan las lenguas y por eso quiero aprender más lenguas y viajar. Yo quisiera ir a España algun dia y tal vez muchos otros paises. Lo que me gustaria más que nada es jugar el tennis para ponerme en forma. También trato de escuchar música, leer libros y ver peliculas de todos los idiomas. Mis películas favoritas son ‘El laberinto de fauno’, ‘El orfanato’ y ‘El Señor de Los Anillos’. Quiero saber si algunos de ustedes han visto estas películas?

Hi, my name is Valerie…I’m an Economics major with a Spanish minor. I just came back from a year-long exchange to Barcelona, which I could probably call the best year of my life so far. mmmmhhmmm.

Hola attempt #2

Hi everybody,

My name (obviously) is Leanna Orr, and I’m a 2nd year English major from Calgary. I live off campus, in an apartment in Kits and ride my bicycle to school every day, as long as it isn’t raining. Over the summer, I spent some time in Costa Rica (where the locals loved my accent) and in Spain (where the locals laughed at it). Both were wonderful. After travels, I lived at home in Calgary and worked as a bartender, which was wonderful and suited my night-owl lifestyle perfectly.

Se veo mañana,

Leanna

hola

Hi everyone, my name is Heather, I’m a fourth year global resource systems (grs) student. That basically means that I get a science degree but that I take a bunch of arts classes 🙂
I’m focusing my degree on food security/ food sovereignty in the Americas…I think. It seems that my focus changes daily.
I’m looking forward to this class so I am hoping to be able to remain in it, since I’m now registered in 6 classes but really can only handle 4.
You can usually find me in Sprouts, in the basement of the sub…if you’d like to have coffee or soup at sprouts and talk about literatura chicana I’m sure I’d be up for it.

intro

Hello. My name is not Bill. But it is Bella. Kind of similar. So I’ll respond to Bill if it’s thrown at me. In fact, I might be starting to prefer Bill. It’s a good, strong name.

Moving on….I am slowly working my way through a Spanish major at UBC. That’s it. No double major, no minor. I’ve been known to be a wee bit lazy (although I like to say that I’m just a hedonist. I enjoy taking life pretty easily). I do, however, genuinely love all things spanish and I hope to go on to translation after completing this degree. I lived in Spain for a year and my next move should take me to Chile. I’ve had a fair amount of first hand contact with some crazy chicanos (well, one in particular. Bad. Taste. Mouth.), but Mexico and Mexicans continue to hold a dear, dear spot in my heart. Haven’t met many Central or South American immigrants. I reckon that’s about all you need to know for now. Probably more than you needed to know, in actuality.
Here we are.

My name is Beth and I am a fourth year UBC Arts student. English Literature is my major and Spanish Language is my minor. Once I finish my BA degree, I plan to take the twelve-month Teacher Education Program at UBC in order to become a secondary school English teacher. After teaching high school for a few years, it’s quite possible that I’ll go back to school, get my Masters and Ph.D. and become a professor. I’m from a small town in the Okanagan Valley called Penticton, surrounded by beautiful beaches and mountains. My passions are music, languages, photography, writing and travel. In January, I am taking a semester away from university to travel Southeast Asia and Europe for six months with my best friend. I enjoy talking to real people, cooking good food, singing anything and everything, and being active in the great outdoors.
Cheers,
Beth
