Vancouver’s legendary beautiful summer is finally here. No more bipolar weather craziness! Hipp Hipp Hurra (as I learnt in Norway)!<\/p>\n
This year, I fully intend on working hard and probably achieving the goals I set out. Especially since I’m only going to narrow down my goals so they ARE achievable (for once :P)<\/p>\n
So here it goes…<\/p>\n
1. Bike from home to UBC (or at least a similar distance) – I’m seriously going to start biking this summer and my ultimate goal is to bike the 17.6 km (according to http:\/\/www.cyclevancouver.ubc.ca\/cv.aspx<\/a>). Hey, you’ve gotta start small sometime!<\/p>\n 2. Get a job. I don’t care what kind, I’m interested in everything from event coordination, research assistants, to working at a vegetarian restaurant. Keeping my fingers crossed for my interview yesterday!<\/p>\n 3. Find an internship for September in a developing country (for the lack of a better word). Potential is high in Indonesia right now! Will know outcome soon.<\/p>\n 4. Continue my food experiment and document<\/span> it at least once a week. The problem I usually have is I forget (or lack motivation) to write things down!<\/p>\n 5. Start a composter and few pots of edible plants on my balcony. Actually I’m thinking of volunteering at the local community garden…I need to go ask.<\/p>\n 6. Read! Currently: Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel. I’ve been wanting to read this since last May. Other books lined up: The Wisdom of Whores, The Big Necessity, Dead Aid.<\/p>\n 7. Finish my economics video\/prezi project. More details to come. It’s going to be awesome.<\/p>\n 8. Enjoy Vancouver and time with good friends. Seeing that I’m probably going to fly off in September and that my parents are in Hong Kong, I might not be returning to this beautiful place for a while.<\/p>\n Eight’s a good number :) I’m going to stop here. I guess this is stuff in additional to what I normally have (e.g. Dollar Project), so awesomeness for the summer! Other stuff that I’m pondering if I should take on: getting more serious about digital photography, making my own website (or at least a much nicer version of my blog), writing for a project some friends and I started before called We Think We Think (http:\/\/thinkwethink.blogspot.com\/<\/a>), really try learning meditation (I found a cool website (http:\/\/www.peacerevolution2010.org\/<\/a>)…etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vancouver’s legendary beautiful summer is finally here.
