#18: Back from the dead

Wow, I suck big time. So so sorry for the disappearance… (sidenote: I’m pretty sure about 90% of my posts start in apologies) 

This post is going to be a mixture of good and less-good.

Let’s start with the good, shall we?

• I really like my classes this term. In my last post I was really excited about my new courses but wasn’t sure how long that was going to last… I can tell you now, that a month in, I’m still really enjoying them :)
• I seem to have found a good balance between work, exercise, and socializing. My best friend, Aline and I have joined the UBC Yoga Club and have started going to classes every Tuesday. It’s a great way to relax and exercise for those who prefer a less aggressive (and by that, I mean that I consider anything above jogging aggressive) workout!
• New classes means meeting more people, and making new friends, so that’s good too.
• We now get a little bit of sunshine every week.. The past couple of weeks, Fridays have been good for that.
• Term 2 also means that I’ve learned from the mistakes I made in term 1, which, you know.. is good.

And now for the not-so-good..

• It’s still cold. 
• I miss home a lot. Although I have awesome friends and an awesome school here and everything, being back home for Christmas made me so happy. 3 more months until I’m back in Hong Kong.
• I was sick for a looong time :( (which half explains the lack of posting) and have only recently gotten better
• Midterms. Need I say more?

That’s pretty much what’s new with me. I’m really not that much of an interesting person.

Final note, I’ve been hanging out with Nirel a lot recently! It’s been great; she’s a lovely person, lots of fun and I’m so glad to have met her. Here’s a picture from a random night we hung out in Totem. (also, if you haven’t checked out her blog you definitely should!)

Love,
