a little bit of everything
Also known as “Day of the Group Brunch Munch” or “Day of the Bloody Knees” or “Day of the Blue Ponchos.” Just over the past weekend a few friends and friends of friends competed in an annual UBC event, called you-guessed-it-’cause-it’s-in-the-title. If you’re too lazy to read the post though, just watch this over and…
What do you think of when you hear the word ‘church’? In the following article I discuss my experience with and thoughts on ‘church’ with the understanding that my relationship in Christ and with other Christians is always an evolving and growing process. To provide some context, I have been a Christian since the age…
No, no, I don’t mean you, dear reader. I mean this: And no, I didn’t take a picture of any of the ones I killed while they were alive. I had a bad enough time searching the web (no pun intended) for photos *shudder*.
Recently my prof showed my work in class, but it wasn’t the work I was expecting him to show. Regardless, I feel like I did a good job of pulling a noncommittal face but inside I felt like a kid again. Don’t you get that glow when someone says you’ve done a good job?
It’s almost October and I am a bit squicked out to say that I’ve conquered 12 spiders thus far. I’ll be trying out how well citronella essential oil (cymbopogon nardus, if you will) works as a bug repellent tonight. If it raises my heart rate (as Wikipedia so fondly informs me) I’ll be sure to…
I’m so absolutely hug-deprived right now that it’s so un-funny, it’s sad. Only the 4L carton of chocolate milk in the fridge is enough to keep away my woes. Oh woe. I guess I should get a cup of chocolate milk right now. And yeah, I realize that has nothing to do with plants. But…
Monday was a great day. During the evening class (LLED 360) I was super hungry and managed to win a large sour soother for my poor tum by composing a passive sentence: The stomach was made hungry by the offer of candy. What’s more, my teacher asked me if he could share a piece of…
On the verge of beginning Week 3 of classes at UBC, I present to you A Way to Make One’s Room Pretty. But first! A picture of a baby cow! I saw this one at PNE (Pacific National Exhibition), which is sort of like Calgary’s Stampede except less crazy and more stress-free (although I like the…
There are many hilarious resemblances between my Vancouver family and my Calgary family, like how both my uncle and dad will leave a little bit of food on the plate at the end of dinner and go off in search of dessert instead. They like their sweet snacks, too.
Today after class (first real day of lectures!) I met a girl named Godot who just came from China and was looking for her ECON 101 class. We conversed in Mandarin and English and walked around campus looking for her classroom. She was cute. But I could see her dilemma, because I often found myself…
