So, the academic year is almost coming to an end for me - two more exams in English and Philosophy and a week with a good friend in Calgary (should be good to start the summer with C-town). Anyway, I thought I'd take some time writing this blog as a method of procrastination. Now, I know it would seem like high school to write this out and maybe even include a dedication part but hey, least I could do is do something that has been done anyway right? (wording of that last part of the sentence sucked - kill me now)
University in Kelowna, BC
So, some of you may or may not know but I received a scholarship to attend university quite late in the game, causing me to attend UBCO three weeks late - way to start out university. Makes "late for class" sound so inferior now - I know I'm bad-ass what can I say. Nah I joking 'round with you. Anyway, many and let me stress on many have asked me over the course of the past 8 months: why UBC-O. If you haven't heard the answer here it is: Since the scholarship came late, many of the universities that I applied to and never gave back a response simply did not have a seat for me to fill because they were under the assumption that I have declined their offers earlier in the summer - see what I should have done is deferred to the schools that I didn't defer to and waited a good year to attend. However, I would consider myself blessed to be here in the beautiful Okanagan valley amongst great people all around.
Great stuff: Vancouver 2010!
I'm was so fortunate to have been only an hour's flight from this year's winter Olympics that took place in the city of Vancouver. A friend of mine invited me, and a bunch of close friends to stay at his house for the Olympics. If I haven't yet said this a million times, I'll say it once more here: THANK YOU. I have learned a lot during this trip, a lot about how people can grow closer and initiate long term friendships. For that also: Thank you!
Hope you enjoyed this reflection. :)
