The last couple of days have been crazy!<\/p>\n
After reading The Iliad<\/em> in five days, I recieved\u00a0a pleasent e-mail telling me that I hadn’t passed the LPI. For those of you who don’t know, the LPI is a language test most international students have to take in order to study English at UBC. The Arts One program includes English, and therfore I had to deregister and find 18 new credits. Great fun. Most courses are full by now, and I was also so excited about the Arts One program. For me, it seems like heaven to get to read a book a week, and discuss it with others and get credits for it! But that’s not my case anymore…I still have all my ten books that I had to buy for the course, it’s too hard for me to get rid of them. They’re all classics, and I guess that\u00a0I at some point in my life would like to read them. So the last couple of days I’ve visited the courselist so many times, trying to put together a schedule that could somehow\u00a0go with\u00a0my plans.<\/p>\n But what are my plans really?\u00a0 Don’t ask. I don’t have the answer. All I know is that I’m here, in Vancouver, trying to do something about my life. This is at least an attempt, and hopefully I’ll be so much wiser after this\/these year\/s here.<\/p>\n I’m\u00a0by the way\u00a0looking for some advise on how to save money on campus. I do not want to work, that I can do in my summer holiday, I’m just looking for cheap solutions and free stuff. I know the free hours at the Aquatic Centre, but where should I go to buy cheap fruit or get free post-its? Money is definetely an issue. And time. Money and time. 24 hours is not enough for me. Imagine all the clubs I could join if I only had unlimited with money and time. Well, I guess that’s why a degree takes four years or so, so that we can get a chance\u00a0to try out as much as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The last couple of days have been crazy!
